From the article:

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.

During CppCon I noticed how well AMA sessions went and that they are a great feature for an online conference. And for some time I knew that this years conference has some extra space for content due to its online nature.

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...

CppCon 2020 Trip Report

by Conor Hoekstra

From the article:

This was my second time attending CppCon. The first time I attended was in 2019, when I gave my first CppCon presentation in two parts, Algorithm Intuition - although I personally recommend the C++Now 2019 version which is 30 minutes shorter.

CppCon 2020 Trip Report

by Shafik Yaghmour

From the article:

CppCon 2020 was online this year due to Covid-19. I was not sure what to expect from an online only conference. I had heard mildly positive feedback from recent online only conferences but this would be my first experience. For the most part the experience exceeded my expectations. There were were technical problems here and there but mostly it ran smoothly. It was fatiguing to watching videos for so long but since I was home I was able to stretch in between sessions and move around and that usually helped...
