From the article:

With this post I'd like to give you the details for the onsite event in Berlin in November 2020.

First, let me say that unless there is a local lockdown, this is going to happen. I've been in Berlin at the beginning of the week, and had a meeting with the hotel. So this is the up to date information. And I assume for some of you its something to look forward to, to enjoy a real conference with actual people in 2020. The tickets for Berlin are available, and these include access to the online event.

During September I was thinking about this years closing keynote. It would have been fine to leave it open, but its also the case that 2020 gives us opportunities and so I thought about who could be giving this years closing keynote.

New C++ features in GCC 10--Marek Polacek

New C++ features in GCC 10

by Marek Polacek

From the article:

The GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) 10.1 was released in May 2020. Like every other GCC release, this version brought many additions, improvements, bug fixes, and new features. Fedora 32 already ships GCC 10 as the system compiler, but it’s also possible to try GCC 10 on other platforms (see godbolt.org, for example). Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) users will get GCC 10 in the Red Hat Developer Toolset (RHEL 7), or the Red Hat GCC Toolset (RHEL 8).

This article focuses on the part of the GCC compiler on which I spend most of my time: The C++ front end. My goal is to present new features that might be of interest to C++ application programmers. Note that I do not discuss developments in the C++ language itself, although some language updates overlap with compiler updates. I also do not discuss changes in the standard C++ library that comes with GCC 10.

We implemented many C++20 proposals in GCC 10. For the sake of brevity, I won’t describe them in great detail. The default dialect in GCC 10 is -std=gnu++14; to enable C++20 features, use the -std=c++20 or -std=gnu++20 command-line option. (Note that the latter option allows GNU extensions.)...

CLion 2020.3 EAP: CTest, Set Execution Point in Debug, Qt project templates, and MISRA Checks

by Anastasia Kazakova

From the article:

There are many useful changes and improvements planned for CLion 2020.3, and today we are ready to share some of them with you. CLion officially starts the 2020.3 Early Access Program today!

For those who just joined us, EAP builds are free and valid for 1 month, so you don’t need an active subscription to try them out. However, the quality of EAP builds is usually lower than that of releases. If you are wondering why taking part in an EAP is worth your while, please see this nice explanation by the WebStorm team...
