by Bartlomiej Filipek

From the article:

Continuing the tradition for other ISO C++ Meetings, I prepared a blog post where you’ll learn about:

  • The current status of C++20
  • an overview about the Prague ISO C++ Meeting (10th till 15th February 2020)
  • a few interesting papers that are worth reading

Let’s start!

C++ in 2020

by Jens Weller

From the article:

Now where the year is a few weeks old, lets see whats ahead for C++ in 2020!

I'll cover the Meeting C++ Community Survey, Conferences, Libraries & Releases, ISOCPP and C++20.

This blog post is based on a newsletter, which is based on a talk I gave at my User Group in Düsseldorf two weeks ago. Come and visit our meetings at the 3rd Wednesday of the month! My C++ User Group is also still looking for speakers in 2020, contact me if you're in town!

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...

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...
