Short overview:
Date: 4th & 5th December
Location: Andels Hotel, Berlin, Germany
Call for Papers: now until April 5th
Operator Overloading – Introduction to Boost.Operators -- Arne Metz
Arne Mertz goes into the details of using boost operators.
Operator Overloading – Introduction to Boost.Operators, Part 1
Operator Overloading – Introduction to Boost.Operators, Part 2
by Arne Mertz
From the articles:
In my first two posts about operator overloading I have written about the basics and common practice. This post shows some lessons from the common practice post on a concrete example and then introduces to Boost.Operators, a library that conveniently reduces the boilerplate involved when overloading multiple operators for a class.
Operators Travel in Packs
If we look at the list of operators, we see that there are about 50 of them, and many of them can be overloaded in different ways. Even if we restrict ourselves to a few operations that make sense for a given class, then one of those operations often brings two or more operators.
Boost libraries are now supported in biicode
First step to a complete integration of the C++ deps manager biicode with the most popular set of C++ libs: Boost libraries.
Boost libraries are now supported in biicode
by Manu Sánchez
From the news:
At biicode we have been working hard to simplify the process of making Boost available for any C++ programmer with just an include. But this is only the start, the project has been released as open source to allow everyone contribute and help.
Ranges and Iterators for numerical problems
A guest blog post by Karsten Ahnert at Meeting C++ as a follow up of his talk!
Ranges and Iterators for numerical problems
by Karsten Ahnert
From the article:
In this blog post I am going to show some ideas how one can implement numerical algorithms with ranges. Examples are the classical Newton algorithm for finding the root of a function and ordinary differential equations. The main idea is to put the main loop of the algorithm into range such that the user can...
std::random_shuffle is deprecated in C++14
A new blog post at Meeting C++, this time its about std::random_shuffle and C++14:
std::random_shuffle is deprecated in C++14
by Jens Weller
From the article:
So, one of the new things in C++14 is, that the committee has actually started to deprecate (and later remove) a few things from the standard. One of them is a rather awkward function: random_shuffle.
C++ User Group Meetings in February
New month, and a few more C++ User Group Meetings:
C++ User Group Meetings in February

Funny bug #20150127--Marco Foco
Marco Foco spotted a subtle bug in a piece of code that used boost::program_options. Can you find it?
Funny bug #20150127
by Marco Foco
From the article:
Two days ago I’ve been asked to have a look at a nonworking piece of code, based on boost::program_options [...] This syntax is not only unusual, but also dangerous.
