C++17 and its Technical Specifications
The 2nd part of my series on proposals for C++17 deals with Technical Specifications:
C++17 and its Technical Specifications
by Jens Weller
From the article:
Part 2 of my series about the current proposals for C++17. This part is covering the Technical Specifications (TS), which are currently released. Some of them will make it into C++17. Those not making it into C++17...
Core C++ - lvalues and rvalues--Anthony Williams
One of C++ fundamentals explained:
Core C++ - lvalues and rvalues
by Anthony Williams
From the article:
One of the most misunderstood aspect of C++ is the use of the terms lvalue and rvalue, and what they mean for how code is interpreted. Though lvalue and rvalue are inherited from C, with C++11, this taxonomy was extended and clarified, and 3 more terms were added: glvalue, xvalue and prvalue. In this article I'm going to examine these terms, and explain what they mean in practice.
Another polymorphism -- Andrzej Krzemieński
Andrzej goes into detail how variants can be seen as a type of polymorphism in his recent blog post.
Another polymorphism
by Andrzej Krzemieński
From the article:
In this post we will try to see by a practical example what Boost.Variant is for. You can sometimes see examples that use type variant<int, double, string>, but to me they are artificial: I never needed to use something that is either a double or int; but I still consider this library useful. Even if you are already familiar with Boost.Variant an its concepts of “never-empty guarantee” and “static visitor”, I made sure there is still something you can get from reading this post.
Selecting by interface, an idea almost to good to be true

Selecting by interface, an idea almost to good to be true
by Jens Weller
From the article:
Last night, I've been coding until 3 am. Working on an API which will connect my CMS to JSON libraries in a generic way. For this I did study different JSON Libraries in the past weeks. I almost wrote another one
Yet, I had the idea to write a generic interface to interface with some of these libraries, so that my own code is not hard wired to a certain API...
Automatic event cleanup in C++--Nercury
How to handle events?
Automatic event cleanup in C++
by Nercury
From the article:
Event subscriptions have a downside: someone has to unsubscribe. Usual approach is to make sure it happens when the subscibtion is no longer needed.
But, can we do it automatically, in a way that is easy to use and extend?
Let's see how it can be done in C++...
Revisiting QWidgets & data, refactoring and performance
A follow up on an older Blog post of mine:
Revisiting QWidgets & data, refactoring and performance
by Jens Weller
From the article:
My CMS project has grown quite a bit, and there are a few places where I think I should refactor the code. One of the larger ones is that TreeItem::get<T> returns a pointer instead of a reference. Another one is related to how the Qt UI application is acting when opening a new panel in the TabControl. There used to be a noticeable delay...
One of C++ most underrated features: Namespace aliases--Jonathan Müller
A nice story with a goal:
One of C++ most underrated features: Namespace aliases
by Jonathan Müller
From the article:
About two months ago I wrote the following r/cpp comment:
[compte supprimé]
- You could always just alias the namespace like namespace fnc = FunctionalPlus.
foonathan
- Namespace aliases are one of C++ most underrated features.
In the thread a new library was presented. One user complained about the long namespace name, (s)he got the above replies. Judging by the number of upvotes, people seemed to agree with my comment. In this blog post I am going to elaborate it...
