CppCon 2016: Safe Numerics Library--Robert Ramey
Have you registered for CppCon 2017 in September? Don’t delay – Registration is open now.
While we wait for this year’s event, we’re featuring videos of some of the 100+ talks from CppCon 2016 for you to enjoy. Here is today’s feature:
Safe Numerics Library
by Robert Ramey
Summary of the talk:
This presentation describes the necessity, utility and usage for a library of safe integer types. These types function in all respects the same way as built-in integers, but guarantee that no integer expression will return an incorrect result. The library can be reviewed at the boost library incubator.
Fuzzing beast with libFuzzer
A short blog post about my experience in fuzzing beast during my boost review
Fuzzing beast with libFuzzer
by Jens Weller
From the article:
During the weekend I wanted to take a closer look at beast, a http library proposed for boost. I planned to write an http client class, as thats something I'll need in some project later anyways. I've been looking at beast on and off for a few month now, and started by reviewing the documentation and examples to get a feel for the library it self.
5 years of Meeting C++
Meeting C++ exists now for 5 years, lets celebrate on the blog:
5 years of Meeting C++
by Jens Weller
From the article:
Just a little bit more then 5 years ago, Meeting C++ went public. Since then, it has been a wild ride and huge success. Today, Meeting C++ reaches over 50k in social media, the conference it self has grown from 150 to 600 in its 5 editions...
Using C++ Coroutines with Boost C++ Libraries--Eric Battalio
Working with the future tools.
Using C++ Coroutines with Boost C++ Libraries
by Eric Battalio
From the article:
Last month, Jim Springfield wrote a great article on using C++ Coroutines with Libuv (a multi-platform C library for asynchronous I/O). This month we will look at how to use coroutines with components of Boost C++ libraries, namely boost::future and boost::asio...
Boost 1.64.0 is released
The new boost is out!
Boost 1.64.0 is released

New Libraries
Process:
Process library by Klemens D. Morgenstern, that provides cross platorm ways to allows you to:
- create child processes
- setup streams for child processes
- communicate with child processes through streams (synchronously or asynchronously)
- wait for processes to exit (synchronously or asynchronously)
- terminate processes
Broken feature:
GitHub #67: "group.wait() does not return".
Updated Libraries
Any:
- Suppressed false warnings about returning reference to temporary
- boost::addressof is now used instead of directly taking the address #12615
- Headers are not included using double quotes any more #12053
- CI tests now run with address, leak, and undefined sanitizers
- Added more test
Atomic:
- Fixed possible incorrect code generation in 64-bit atomic operations on 32-bit x86 with gcc versions older than 4.7 and compatible compilers.
Config:
- Added BOOST_NO_CXX11_SFINAE_EXPR defect detection.

with Jackie Kay, Robert Ramey, and Jon Kalb
From the chat:
Jackie, Robert, and Jon discuss Jackie's talk at last week's emBO++ and the upcoming Boost review of Robert's Safe Numerics library. We also discuss Kona, Slack, C++Now, and functional programming C++.
Using QtCreator together with the Visual Studio Build Tools
A first posting about working with Qt and Visual C++ in QtCreator
Using QtCreator together with the Visual Studio Build Tools
by Jens Weller
From the article:
For a while I've been using QtCreator as my IDE, mostly because its deep integration with Qt, as most of my projects are Qt related. With this, I also preferred (and still do a little) to use the MinGW builds of Qt on Windows. In the past, as GCC was a little bit better with the newer standards, today, well, never change a running system...
Ranges: the STL to the Next Level--Jonathan Boccara
Ranges are coming!
Ranges: the STL to the Next Level
by Jonathan Boccara
From the article:
The C++ Standard Template Library (STL) is a fantastic tool for making code more correct and expressive. It is mainly composed of two parts:
- The containers, such as std::vector or std::map for instance,
- The algorithms, a fairly large collection of generic functions that operate amongst others on containers. They are mostly found under the algorithm header.
