Ways to Refactor Toggle/Boolean Parameters in C++

by Bartlomiej Filipek

From the article:

Boolean parameters in a function might be misleading and decrease its readability. If you have a poorly named function like:

DoImportantStuff(true, false, true, false);

As you can imagine, it’s not clear what all those parameters mean? What’s the first true? What does the last false mean? Can we improve code in such cases?

Let’s have a look at possible improvements...

SFINAE: Substitution Failure is not an Error | Top-Up C++ [C++ #02]--WolfSound

Summary of the video:

In this video, we are presenting SFINAE: Substitution Failure is not an Error, a feature or a characteristic of C++ related to templates. “Substitution failure is not an error” means that if the compiler fails to specialize a template with a given template argument list, it does not issue an error. It does when it cannot find any suitable function/class to be called/instantiated (either due to a lack of suitably declared functions/classes or an error during instantiation).

Fixing the crash that seems to be on a std::move operation

by Raymond Chen

From the article:

Last time, we looked at a crash that was root-caused to an order of evaluation bug if compiled as C++14. One solution to the problem is to switch to C++17 mode, but presumably the customer isn’t willing to make that drastic a change to their product yet. Maybe there’s something we can do that is less disruptive...
