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

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...

Dry-comparisons: A C++ Library to Shorten Redundant If Statements

Have you ever felt that the code you write in if statements doesn’t look as natural as the specification expresses them?
Launching 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.

C++ User Group meetings in January 2020
by Jens Weller
From the article:
Happy new years! The year has begun, and lots of C++ User Groups have their first meeting of 2020.
Would like to start your own group or looking for ideas in running your current group? Watch my talk from CppCon:

ACCU 2020 Registration is open -- ACCU
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:
- ACCU 101: Early Career Day – Gail Ollis, Kevlin Henney, Giovanni Asproni, Chris Oldwood, Roger Orr
- Better Code – Sean Parent
- Getting High Regression Test Coverage Quickly using Approval Testing – Emily Bache
- Good Modern C++ Design and Practices – Peter Sommerlad
- Introduction to CMake – Craig Scott
- Jumpstart Julia – Erik Engheim
- Modern C++ Idioms – Mateusz Pusz
Overload 154 is now available
ACCU’s Overload journal of December 2019 is out. It contains the following C++ related articles.
Overload 154 is now available
From the journal:
Inside-Out.
Sometimes things appear to be inside out. Frances Buontempo considers when a shift of perspective can make things seem better.Trip Reports: Meeting C++ 2019 and Embedded C++ 2019.
Deciding which conferences to attend is difficult, and we can’t go to them all. Svitlana Lubenska, Hans Vredeveld and Benedikt Mandelkow give us a flavour of what we may have missed.Non-Recursive Compile Time Sort.
Compile time sorting usually uses recursion. Norman Wilson shows how C++14 features make this easier.Quick Modular Calculations (Part 1).
Compilers are good at optimising modular calculations. Can we they do better? Cassio Neri shows they can.Afterwood.
We are aware of the film Get Carter. Chris Oldwood asks if it should be called Acquire Carter instead.
