Clang 5 in a Docker container for C++17 development--SolarianProgrammer
Very convenient to create a development environment without hassles.
Clang 5 in a Docker container for C++17 development
by SolarianProgrammer
From the article:
If you want to try the new C++17, using Clang in a Docker container, you are in the right place. Running Clang in a container has the advantage that it is light on resources and won’t mess with your underlying OS. The last point is especially important if your host operating system is macOS, on which it is a really bad idea to directly install a binary Clang other than the one that comes with Xcode. I’ve tested the approach presented in this article on Windows 10, macOS High Sierra and Ubuntu Linux.

C++17 Feature Removals And Deprecations--Stephan T. Lavavej
This is about visual studio, but this is also about how the deprecated mechanisms work.
C++17 Feature Removals And Deprecations
by Stephan T. Lavavej
From the article:
Technology advances by inventing new ways of doing things and by discarding old ways. The C++ Standardization Committee is simultaneously adding new features and removing old features at a gradual pace, because we’ve discovered thoroughly better ways of writing code. While feature removals can be annoying, in the sense that programmers need to go change old codebases in order to make them conform to new Standards, they’re also important. Feature removals simplify the Core Language and Standard Library, avoiding the doom of accreting complexity forever. Additionally, removing old features makes it easier to read and write code. C++ will always be a language that offers programmers many ways to write something, but by taking away inferior techniques, it’s easier to choose one of the remaining techniques which are more modern...

Trip Report: C++ Standards Meeting in Albuquerque, November 2017--Botond Ballo
A thorough and detailed summary of the recent six-day meeting.
Trip Report: C++ Standards Meeting in Albuquerque, November 2017
by Botond Ballo
From the article:
A couple of weeks ago I attended a meeting of the ISO C++ Standards Committee (also known as WG21) in Albuquerque, New Mexico. This was the third committee meeting in 2017; you can find my reports on previous meetings here (February 2017, Kona) and here (July 2017, Toronto). These reports, particularly the Toronto one, provide useful context for this post.
With the final C++17 International Standard (IS) having been voted for publication, this meeting was focused on C++20, and the various Technical Specifications (TS) we have in flight, most notably Modules...
