Fun with folds

From the article:
A fold is a higher order function (a function that has one or more function parameters and/or returns a function) that is recursively applied over a data structure...
C++ Core Guidelines Checkers available for VS 2015 Update 1--Andrew Pardoe and Neil MacIntosh
Coding well in C++ is becoming easier:
C++ Core Guidelines Checkers available for VS 2015 Update 1
by Andrew Pardoe and Neil MacIntosh
From the article:
Back in September at CppCon 2015 Neil announced that we would be shipping new code analysis tools for C++ that would enforce some of the rules in the C++ Core Guidelines. (A video of the talk is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKlHvAw1z50 and slides are available on the ISOCpp GitHub repo.)

Getting Started with Modules in C++--Kenny Kerr
The basics of creating and using a module:
Getting Started with Modules in C++
by Kenny Kerr
From the article:
Visual Studio 2015 Update 1 shipped with experimental support for a module system for C++. You can learn about it from this talk given by Gabriel Dos Reis at CppCon. Creating and consuming modules is very simple, but getting started with the compiler is not that obvious. At least it wasn’t very obvious to me, so here’s a quick introduction to get you started.

C++ Modules in VS 2015 Update 1
by Gabriel Dos Reis and Andrew Pardoe
From the article:
The VC++ team is excited to preview a new feature in VS 2015 Update 1: The first experimental implementation of A Module System for C++, proposed for C++17. That proposal was approved by the C++ standards Evolution Working Group for a C++17 Technical Specification at the Fall 2015 meeting in Kona, Hawai’i. The draft wording for the Technical Specification is under review by the C++ Standards Core Working Group.
HPX version 0.9.11 released -- STE||AR Group
The STE||AR Group has released V0.9.11 of HPX -- A general purpose parallel C++ runtime system for applications of any scale.
HPX V0.9.11 Released
The newest version of HPX (V0.9.11) is now available for download! Please see here for the release notes.
HPX exposes an API fully conforming to the concurrency related parts of the C++11 and C++14 standards, extended and applied to distributed computing.
From the announcement:
- In this release our team has focused on developing higher level C++ programming interfaces which simplify the use of HPX in applications and ensure their portability in terms of code and performance. We paid particular attention to align all of these changes with the existing C++ Standard or with the ongoing standardization work. Other major features include the introduction of executors and various policies which enable customizing the ‘where’ and ‘when’ of task and data placement.
- This release consolidates many of the APIs exposed by HPX. We introduced a new uniform way of creating (local and remote) objects, we added distribution policies allowing to manage and customize data placement and migration, we unified the way various types of parallelism are made available to the user.
Trip Report: C++ Standards Meeting in Kona, October 2015--Botond Ballo
Another trip report of the last meeting in Kona:
Trip Report: C++ Standards Meeting in Kona, October 2015
by Botond Ballo
From the article:
Last week I attended a meeting of the ISO C++ Standards Committee in Kona, Hawaii. This was the second committee meeting in 2015; you can find my reports on the past few meetings here (June 2014, Rapperswil), here (November 2014, Urbana-Champaign), and here (May 2015, Lenexa). These reports, particularly the Lenexa one, provide useful context for this post.
The focus of this meeting was primarily C++17. There are many ambitious features underway for standardization, and the time has come to start deciding what which of them will make C++17 and which of them won’t. The ones that won’t will target a future standard, or a Technical Specification (which can eventually also be merged into a future standard). In addition, there are a number of existing Technical Specifications in various stages of completion...
