A new interpretation of a classical problem:

Reversing words of a string with ranges

by Marco Arena

From the article:

In this post I share the story of a “C++ aha-moment”, hence I use the hashtag #thatsarotate (resumed last Saturday at the Italian C++ Conference 2021 to honor our keynote speaker Sean Parent). Why not sharing your own stories of “C++ aha-moments” adding the same hashtag to your tweets, posts, or whatever? It would be really appreciated...

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...

Did you know about those reasons?

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...
