AddressSanitizer (ASan) for Windows with MSVC

by Augustin Popa

From the article:

We are pleased to announce AddressSanitizer (ASan) support for the MSVC toolset. ASan is a fast memory error detector that can find runtime memory issues such as use-after-free and perform out of bounds checks. Support for sanitizers has been one of our more popular suggestions on Developer Community, and we can now say that we have an experience for ASan on Windows, in addition to our existing support for Linux projects...

Overload 153 is now available

ACCU’s Overload journal of October 2019 is out. It contains the following C++ related articles.

Overload 153 is now available

From the journal:

Predictions and Predilections.
Forecasting the future is difficult. Frances Buontempo has a foreboding sense that a lack of impartially makes things even harder.

Scenarios Using Custom DSLs.
Natural-language BDD can be hard to maintain. Liz Keogh demonstrates a simple code-based alternative.

OOP Is not Essential.
People tend to love or hate Object Oriented Programming. Lucian Teodorescu considers a recent OOP claim.

I Come Here Not to Bury Delphi, But to Praise It.
What helps a programming language gain traction? Patrick Martin remembers why he used to use Delphi.

C++ Pipes.
Expressive code can make life easier. Jonathan Boccara demonstrates fluent pipelines for collections in C++.

Code analysis with clang-tidy in Visual Studio

by Eli Fessler

From the article:

Visual Studio 2019 version 16.4 Preview 1 brings a significant improvement to the C++ code analysis experience: native support for clang-tidy, a Clang-based “linter” tool developed by the LLVM Project that delivers a variety of code improvements such as modernization and standards conformance, static analysis, and automatic formatting...

ACCU 2020 Call for Proposals

By Felix Petriconi | Oct 3, 2019 12:39 PM | Tags: community

The ACCU 2020 is now putting together its program, and they want you to speak on C++. The ACCU has strong C++ tracks, though it is not a C++-only conference. If you have something to share, check out their

Call for Proposals

by the 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, Mercurial, 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.

The ACCU Conference is put on by ACCU (https://accu.org), but is open to anyone who wishes to be there either as a presenter or an attender.

The Call for Papers lasts for about 3 weeks and will close on Friday 2019-10-25 23:59+01:00.

Many things happened.

Milestone | New Home | Trip Reports

by Jon Kalb

From the article:

CppCon 2019 was the first year in our new home at the Gaylord Rockies in Aurora, Colorado.

Long before I’d ever done it, I told people that I thought that moving a conference is almost as much work as starting one from scratch. Now that I have moved a conference, I’ve learned that started a conference from scratch is actually easier than moving that conference after it has been growing in one location for five years...

If you live in the area.

Join the Maryland C++ User Group

From the article:

After looking for and failing to find a C++ user group in Maryland, I decided to start one. If you live in the Baltimore/DC/NoVA area, use C++ for work or pleasure, and are interested in attending monthly-ish meetings related to C++, please join the meetup group at https://meetup.com/CppMaryland/. Topics for discussion will include current (C++11/14/17) features, the upcoming C++20 standard, build tools, standard containers and algorithms, design patterns, and pretty much anything else that might benefit a C++ developer...
