#CPPCON2017. Day 3. The Future of C++
by "No Bugs" Hare
From the article:
At #CPPCON2017 Day 3, I spent most of the time on the meetings of SG14 (on games and low-latency stuff); while it was certainly useful for me – the most interesting things on Day 3 happened outside of SG14.

#CPPCON2017. Day 2. Why Local Allocators are a Good Thing(tm) Performance-Wise, and Why I am Very Cautious about C++17 STL parallelized algos
by "No Bugs" Hare
From the article:
At CPPCON2017 Day 2, two talks were of special interest to me. One was a 2-hour talk about Local Allocators – and another about C++17 STL parallelised algorithms.

Cppcon 2017 opening keynote by Bjarne Stroustrup is now live.
Learning and Teaching Modern C++
by Bjarne Stroustrup
From the article:
We – attendees at CppCon – are all teachers. Some teach for a living; many occasionally teach a course or give a lecture; essentially all give advice about how to learn C++ or how to use C++. The communities we address are incredibly diverse.
What do we teach, and why? Who do we teach, and how? What is “modern C++”? How do we avoid pushing our own mistakes onto innocent learners?
Teaching C++ implies a view of what C++ is; there is no value-neutral teaching. What teaching tools and support do we need? Consider libraries, compiler support, and tools for learners. This talk asks a lot of questions and offers a few answers. Its aim is to start a discussion, so the Q&A will be relatively long.

A new library is out!
Introducing Abseil, a new common libraries project
by Titus Winters
From the article:
Today we are open sourcing Abseil, a collection of libraries drawn from the most fundamental pieces of Google’s internal codebase. These libraries are the nuts-and-bolts that underpin almost everything that Google runs. Bits and pieces of these APIs are embedded in most of our open source projects, and now we have brought them together into one comprehensive project. Abseil encompasses the most basic building blocks of Google’s codebase: code that is production tested and will be fully maintained for years to come.

by "No Bugs" Hare
From the article:
IMO, the most important thing which has happened on Day 1 was a series of discussions about potential replacement for overloaded operator << in iostreams <yay! />.

by "No Bugs" Hare
From the article:
Very short report from day 0 of CPPCON2017. Registration reception was lively (with Gor Nishanov being the star of the show, but lots of the other interesting people were noticed, I even spotted <da-dum /> Bjarne Himself).

For the first time ever, you can participate in Meeting C++ as a volunteer, just like you could do with CppCon!
Volunteering at Meeting C++ 2017
by Jens Weller
From the article:
Something new, which didn't exist in the last 5 editions of the Meeting C++ conference. You are now able to become a volunteer at Meeting C++ 2017, like you can and always could do for CppCon.
Historically the staff for Meeting C++ first was from my own C++ User Group...

A good way to simplify your life:
What's new in clang-format 5
by Benoît Blanchon
From the article:
Clang 5 was released last week.
It's a good opportunity to talk about a not-enough-known tool: Clang-format.Clang-format is part of the Clang project but can be used without the Clang compiler. It's an independent executable.
Clang-format is a code linter for C++. It takes a non-formatted code as input and produces a well-formatted code as output. The result is instantaneous.
