A first view on the talks and speakers of Meeting C++ 2022

by Jens Weller

From the article:

I'm excited to release this update for Meeting C++ 2022: the talks and speakers for this years conference!

As you can see in the talk listing, this is still an ongoing process, getting the speaker pictures from the new speakers for this year will still take a while. Creating the schedule will also take a few weeks, as of now Tracks A and B are planned on site, with Tracks C and D being part of the online part.

Porting my first application from Qt5 to Qt6

An overview on the issues face when porting my first application to Qt6

Porting my first Application from Qt5 to Qt6

by Jens Weller

From the article:

Just this week I had the opportunity to recompile one of my Qt Applications to build it with Qt6. Here is some of the results.

The application in question manages parts of the conference, and hence is written in Qt for the UI and uses SQLite as datastorage, so Qt also used for this and as I learned for a few other things too...

Ways to Refactor Toggle/Boolean Parameters in C++--Bartlomiej Filipek

What's your preferred way?

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

Are you familiar with it?

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

by 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--Raymond Chen

Which way do you prefer?

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...
