Isn't that a good question?
Do compilers take inline as a hint?
by Simon Brand
From the article:
If you’ve spent any time in C or C++ communities online, you’ve probably seen someone say this:
inline used to be a hint for compilers to inline the definition, but no compilers actually take that into account any more.
You shouldn’t believe everything you see on the internet...

Cppcon continues to improve!
Inclusiveness, accessibility, and CppCon 2017 videos
by Herb Sutter
From the article:
CppCon has always aimed to be a welcoming environment for everyone, across the whole diverse worldwide C++ community. We made that a cornerstone of our very first blog post nearly four years ago, and since then we’ve invited speakers from as many industries and personal backgrounds as we could, tried to keep ticket prices affordable (nominal and free for students and volunteers, respectively, to help them attend), rolled out successively more detailed codes of conduct, and at last fall’s event we were excited for the first time to have sessions and events especially geared toward families and kids who are just learning how much fun programming can be… yes, in C++...

A nice example of committee members reaching out to the community for data/input on proposed changes that could have a breaking impact.
Chaining Comparisons: Seeking Information from the Audience
by Barry Revzin
From the article:
At the last standards committee meeting in Albuquerque, the spaceship operator was adopted into the working draft for what will eventually be C++20. I’m already pretty excited about that. But one of the initial “optional” parts of Herb Sutter’s original spaceship proposal (which was dropped early) was to support chaining comparisons...

We used the evaluation forms to survey what people is using in their daily job. And we got some pleasent surprises about new standards adoption. It seems C++98/03 usage is going down!
