A list of bad practices commonly seen in industrial projects
by Thomas Lourseyre
From the article:
If you ever worked in a company-size software project (with numerous developers), there is a good chance that the codebase was, at least, pretty messy.
In these days, most industrial C++ developers are not experts. You will often work with developers with a Java or Python background, people who just learnt C++ at school and don’t really care that much about the language and old developers who code in “C with classes” instead of C++.
Having worked on a few industrial projects myself, I realized there are some recurring patterns and bad practices. If you happen to teach your coworkers to avoid these bad practices, you will all take a huge step toward a beautiful codebase and it will be beneficial to you, your coworkers and your project.
Here is a non-exhaustive list of these common bad practices...

East End Functions
by Phil Nash
From the article:
There has been a recent stirring of attention, in the C++ community, for the practice of always placing the const modifier to the right of the thing it modifies. The practice has even been gifted a catchy name: East Const (which, I think, is what has stirred up the interest)...

C++20 Ranges are complete in Visual Studio 2019 version 16.10
by Casey Carter
From the article:
We are proud to announce completion of our implementation of C++20 Ranges in the Standard Library in the VS2019 v16.10 release under/std:c++latest. We announced the first useful user-visible parts of Ranges in VS 2019 v16.6 in mid 2020, the trickle accelerated into a gushing stream, and the final parts are now in place. This represents a huge body of work with input from multiple open-source contributors over the last two years...

Building LLVM in 90 seconds using Amazon Lambda
by Nelson Elhage
From the article:
Last week, Frederic Cambus wrote about building LLVM quickly on some very large machines, culminating in a 2m37s build on a 160-core ARM machine.
I don’t have a giant ARM behemoth, but I have been working on a tool I call Llama, which lets you offload computational work – including C and C++ builds – onto Amazon Lambda. I decided to see how good it could do at a similar build...

The future.
What’s Next: A Roadmap for CLion 2021.2
by Anastasia Kazakova
From the article:
CLion 2021.1 is now released along with the first bug-fix update 2021.1.1 addressing some of the most critical issues which unfortunately squeezed through our testing procedures. We do hope you are enjoying the update now and giving the new data flow analysis, Makefile and dynamic analysis in remote mode, and C/C++ postfix completion a try. We are listening to your feedback carefully and planning the upcoming bug-fix updates accordingly. It’s also time to move forward and see what CLion 2021.2 may look like!

New Static Analysis Rule for Bounds Checking
by Jordan Maples
From the article:
We have added a new experimental static analysis rule in Visual Studio 16.10 version Preview 3 – C26458, WARNING_PATH_SENSITIVE_USE_GSL_AT. The new warning is a more precise and less noisy version of warning C26446, WARNING_USE_GSL_AT. Both warnings analyse standard containers for unchecked element access and they both share the warning message: “Prefer to use gsl::at() instead of unchecked subscript operator (bounds.4).” This new warning, however, uses path sensitive analysis to track buffer size validation calls to provide a less noisy, more targeted warning compared to C26446...
