Expressive Code for State Machines in C++--Valentin Tolmer

Compiler checks are the best!

Expressive Code for State Machines in C++

by Valentin Tolmer

From the article:

Have you ever run into this kind of comments?

// IMPORTANT: Do not call this function before calling SetUp()!

Or checks like these:

if (my_field_.empty()) abort();

Those are all symptoms of a (often light-weight) protocol that our code must respect. Or sometimes, you have an explicit protocol that you’re following, such as in the implementation of an SSL handshake or other business logic. Or maybe you have an explicit state machine in your code, with the transitions checked each time against a list of possible transitions.

Let’s have a look at how we can expressively handle these cases...

Simplify Your Code With Rocket Science: C++20’s Spaceship Operator--Cameron DaCamara

Simplify Your Code With Rocket Science: C++20’s Spaceship Operator

by Cameron DaCamara

From the article:

C++20 adds a new operator, affectionately dubbed the “spaceship” operator: <=>. There was a post awhile back by our very own Simon Brand detailing some information regarding this new operator along with some conceptual information about what it is and does.  The goal of this post is to explore some concrete applications of this strange new operator and its associated counterpart, the operator== (yes it has been changed, for the better!), all while providing some guidelines for its use in everyday code.

Submit your talk to Meeting C++ 2019!

The call for submissions is open for Meeting C++ 2019!

New speakers are welcome to submit as there is a dedicated track for this, start speaking at Meeting C++!

Submit your talk to Meeting C++ 2019!

by Jens Weller

From the article:

When Meeting C++ 2019 was announced in the begin of April, there was already a hint that you could submit your talks. And so far a few have done so. Now its time for an official news entry. Submit your talk to Meeting C++ 2019! This year its the 8th edition of Meeting C++!

Speaking at Meeting C++ is a fun experience, you get to attend the speakers dinner, attend the full conference for free and enjoy the luxurious Hotelrooms the Andels offers from Wednesday to Saturday! You can look at last years schedule to get a feel for what your competition might talk about, but have in mind that you don't see the talks that were not submitted! If you want to talk about a C++ topic that wasn't covered yet, or have a unique idea for your talk, please submit! Speakers don't need to buy a ticket and the conference has a contingent of rooms available for speakers & staff.
