The voting on which talks should make it to Meeting C++ 2019 has begun

by Jens Weller

From the article:

With today, you can start to vote on all 120 submitted talks for Meeting C++ 2019!

With 120 talks submitted by 82 speakers, there is a lot to vote on. You don't have to vote on all talks, the order of talks is randomized, so as long as enough folks vote on a few talks, every talk should get a fair number of votes. You can vote for every talk between 0 - 5, where 5 is the best vote you can give. Also its possible to leave a comment and feedback for the speaker. The deadline to cast your votes is the last day of June.

A common problem with a common solution made easier.

strong_typedef - Create distinct types for distinct purposes

by Anthony Williams

From the article:

One common problem in C++ code is the use of simple types for many things: a std::string might be a filename, a person's name, a SQL query string or a piece of JSON; an int could be a count, an index, an ID number, or even a file handle. In his 1999 book "Refactoring" (which has a second edition as of January 2019), Martin Fowler called this phenomenon "Primitive Obsession", and recommended that we use dedicated classes for each purpose rather than built-in or library types...

From the article:

More and more C++ events, community meetups, and conferences are appearing around the globe. 2019 is definitely looking like a year for new C++ conferences. Take, for example, C++ on Sea (UK, in February) or the upcoming CPPP (France, in June). Even C++ Russia now has two editions per year – one in Moscow and one in St. Petersburg. And, finally, there’s the event we just visited – Core C++, held in Tel Aviv, Israel...

C++ Core Guidelines: The Standard Library

by Rainer Grimm

From the article:

Curiously, there is no section to the algorithms of the standard template library (STL) in this chapter. Curiously, because there is a proverb in the C++ community: If you write an explicit loop, you don't know the algorithms of the STL. Anyway. Only for completeness, let me start with the first three rules which provide not much beef...
