CLion starts 2020.1 Early Access Program: improvements to Clang-based tools and debugger, new font and editor theme, and more

by Anastasia Kazakova

From the article:

We’ve got a lot planned for 2020 and 2020.1 and now it’s time to start our regular Early Access Program!

EAP builds are free and give you a preview of the upcoming changes and enhancements. They might not be stable and might contain functionality that doesn’t make it to the final release. And if you decide to try these builds, please, inform us of any issues you run into or any inconveniences you experience as early as possible, so we have time to investigate and can try to address them before the release...

The C++ Lifetime Profile: How It Plans to Make C++ Code Safer--Daniel Martín

A way to make C++ safer.

The C++ Lifetime Profile: How It Plans to Make C++ Code Safer

by Daniel Martín

From the article:

High amounts of low-level systems are written in C++. Memory access in C++ is virtually unrestricted, which means that bugs in C++ programs can corrupt it and cause crashes or security problems. For this reason, we call C++ a memory-unsafe programming language — in contrast to memory-safe languages like Java, Rust, and Swift.

In this blog post, I’ll talk about the C++ Lifetime Profile, explaining what it is, how it intends to reduce the problems typically caused by the memory-unsafe characteristics of C++, what the status of the current implementation of the Lifetime Profile is, and what the current limitations are...

Early bird tickets for Core C++ 2020 are now on sale!

Adi Shavit

From the article:

From medical devices and flash storage to CPUs and advanced navigation systems, Israeli innovation pushes the boundaries of the imagination. Advanced software is at the heart of many of these systems, and when it comes to bare-metal performance, low power-consumption and massive scalability, C++ is king. Core C++ 2020 will take place at The Wohl Conventions Center, located just outside Tel-Aviv on the campus of Bar-Ilan University in Ramat Gan, Israel.
The conference is aimed at C++ developers and practitioners as well as academic researchers and teachers who wish to be updated by the newest developments of C++ and present their work with C++. International speakers and attendees are more than welcome to join us!

Madrid C++: C++ and WebAssembly

New C and C++ meetup in Madrid. Thursday the 30th at Liferay's HQ.

How to accelerate a website with C++ and WebAssembly (Spanish)

with Juan Morales and Miguel Cantón

In order to reduce latency, costs and gain scalability we decided to perform data analysis with Graphext using WebAssembly in the browser. We will talk about how to use emscripten to compile a C++ project to make it portable on all browsers.

Why were abbrev. lambdas rejected?--Barry Revzin

Did you know about the proposal?

Why were abbrev. lambdas rejected?

by Barry Revzin

From the article:

In November, 2017, I presented my proposal for abbreviated lambdas (P0573R2) to Evolution in Albuquerque. It was rejected (6-17), though the group was willing to consider future proposals for shorter lambdas which present new technical information (18-2).

Since then, there’s been a lot of confusion about what actually happened and why it was rejected, and part of this was my fault for not doing a good job communicating this to interested parties. Actually, that’s generous - I didn’t really communicate anything. So here is my making up for lost time by actually conveying this information...

Launching the Meeting C++ Community Survey

Take the Meeting C++ Community Survey!

Launching the Meeting C++ Community Survey

by Jens Weller

From the article:

One thing then often has bugged me when looking at the C++ community is that we don't really had good numbers on most things. Jetbrains, ISOCPP and Bartek's coding blog have launched surveys in the last years, which changed this a little. Also I've been doing some surveys on Twitter, giving some limited insight into C++ related topics. But Twitter surveys are very limited, and for a long time I had an idea on how to make this a continuous survey.

By Felix Petriconi | Jan 6, 2020 08:36 AM | Tags: community

The registration for the upcomming ACCU 2020 conference, 2020-03-25 to 2020-03-28, in Bristol, UK has opened.

ACCU 2020 Registration

by ACCU

About the conference:

Historically, ACCU has a lot of C++ and C content, and is proud of that: ACCU is the foremost annual conference for people interested in C++ and C, at least in and around the UK. But it is not just a C++ and C conference, ACCU is about programming in whatever language people are using, with whatever tools and processes people are using: D, Chapel, Java, Kotlin, C#, F#, Groovy, Rust, Go, Python, Ruby, Lisp, to name just a few programming languages about which there have been sessions at ACCU conferences. Git, CMake, Meson, TDD, BDD, allthese tools and techniques have been the focus of sessions at ACCU. The ACCU Conference is looking for sessions that will be interesting to people who create software.

Our keynote speaker are this year: Patricia Aas, Emily Bache, Kevlin Henney and Sean Parent

There are these preconference workshops the day before the conference:
