How to write customizable framework which would work on "practically any type". This article is continuation of author previous post: "Overload resolution".

A customizable framework

by Andrzej Krzemieński

From the article:

We want to provide a function (or a set of overloaded functions) that would ‘do the right job’ for ‘practically any type’, or for ‘as many types as possible’. As an example of such ‘job’ consider std::hash: what we want to avoid is the situation, where you want to use some type X as a key in the standard hash-map, but you are refused because std::hash does not ‘work’ for X. In order to minimize the disappointment, the Standard Library makes sure std::hash works with any reasonable built-in or standard-library type. For all the other types, that the Standard Library cannot know in advance, it offers a way to ‘customize’ std::hash so that they can be made to work with hash-maps.

Nice use of modern C++:

Writing modern C++ servers using Wangle

by James Perry

From the article:

I mentioned in my previous post that I was able to build a prototype database engine within one day using Facebook’s Wangle so this post explains how I managed that. By the end of this post, you will be able to write a high-performance C++ server using Wangle. This post also serves as a tutorial which will be merged into Wangle’s README.md.

Support for Android CMake projects in Visual Studio

by Ion Todirel

From the article:

CMake is a cross-platform project generator that enables reuse of shared C++ code across multiple IDE and project systems.

We made a change to CMake to support our Android toolchain in Visual Studio. With this change, you can take your existing CMake project targetting Android, and with minimal modifications, you can have it open in Visual Studio, and benefit from our rich IDE experience for Android...
