The new boost is out!
Boost 1.64.0 is released
From the article:
New Libraries
Process:
Process library by Klemens D. Morgenstern, that provides cross platorm ways to allows you to:
- create child processes
- setup streams for child processes
- communicate with child processes through streams (synchronously or asynchronously)
- wait for processes to exit (synchronously or asynchronously)
- terminate processes
Broken feature:
GitHub #67: "group.wait() does not return".
Updated Libraries
Any:
- Suppressed false warnings about returning reference to temporary
- boost::addressof is now used instead of directly taking the address #12615
- Headers are not included using double quotes any more #12053
- CI tests now run with address, leak, and undefined sanitizers
- Added more test
Atomic:
- Fixed possible incorrect code generation in 64-bit atomic operations on 32-bit x86 with gcc versions older than 4.7 and compatible compilers.
Config:
- Added BOOST_NO_CXX11_SFINAE_EXPR defect detection.

Is C++ job market falling or growing? Since billions of lines of code are already written it's not possible to disappear in a second. So what's the current state and the future?
C++ Jobs and Predictions
by Bartlomiej Filipek
From the article:
... if you like this area you'll be able to find a C++ job anyway. I hope C++20 will add another good reason to stick with C++ and even move from other languages... but we need to wait a few years to see it happening.
