Introduction to the C++ Ranges Library

by Jonathan Boccara

From the article:

Do you know the ranges library in C++?

This video will show what limitations of the STL it solves, and how it can make C++ code more expressive.

Since some of you expressed that they liked text more than videos, I’ve included a transcript of the video. I’d be glad to know if you find this useful, and if you’d like to have a transcript for other videos...

The prime motivation for acceptance is:

• Reviewers have real-world use cases today for which they found Outcome to be an effective and best available alternative; and which is consistent with current-need and expectations; and which is consistent with ongoing C++ Standard evolution efforts...

A classic error:

break and fallthrough

by Andrey Karpov

From the article:

We would like to suggest reading the series of articles dedicated to the recommendations on writing code of high quality using the examples of errors found in the Chromium project. This is the second part, which will be devoted to the switch operator and, more precisely, to the problem of a forgotten break operator...

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++...
