Here is a follow-up on a previous article about a simple signal system:
An update on “A simple signal system”
by Adrien Hamelin
From the article:
Almost a month ago from now (already), I wrote a post about “A simple signal system“. Check it out if you have not already, as in this post I will speak a little further about it...

The C++ Memory Model
by Valentin Ziegler
From the talk description:
The C++ memory model defines how multiple threads interact with memory and shared data, enabling developers to reason about concurrent code in a platform independent way. The talk will explain multi-threaded executions and data races in C++...

Sasha Goldshtein begins to show us how to implement the basis of a useful tool from the STL: the tuple.
Implementing std::tuple From The Ground Up – Part 1
by Sasha Goldshtein
From the article:
std::tuple is a very nice facility originally introduced in C++ TR1. It is a heterogenous container of elements that has a statically known size. In C++ 11, std::tuple can be implemented using variadic templates; a single std::tuple class can support an arbitrary number of template type arguments. In this series of blog posts we will implement std::tuple from first principles. The purpose of this exercise is not to provide the best-performing or most-conformant tuple implementation, but rather to see what foundational concepts are required to implement it...

Quick A: Inherit from enable_shared_from_this.
Recently on SO:
Cast 'this' to std::shared_ptr
I have a method on a class to make a particular instance an "active" instance:
void makeActive() { activeInstance = this; }However it doesn't work since
activeInstancehas typestd::shared_ptr< ClassName >. How can I cast this tostd::shared_ptr<ClassName>?

Pruning Error Messages From C++ Template Code
by Roland Bock
From the talk description:
Many template libraries are regarded with ambivalent feelings by developers: On the one hand, such libraries can offer wonderful functionality. On the other hand, they are dreaded for the sheer amount of error messages spilled out...

A useful application of boost::variant with boost::python by Mario Lang.
boost::python and boost::variant
by Mario Lang
From the post:
However, there is one aspect of C++ data types that I couldn't figure out how to interface with Python, which are C++ discriminated unions, or more specifically, heterogeneous containers. While Python has no problems with containers containing objects of different types, C++ does not make this very easy by default.

A solution to generate code for CUDA and OpenCL with C++:
Generating OpenCL/CUDA source code from C++ expressions in VexCL
by Denis Demidov
From the talk description:
VexCL is an opensource C++ vector expression template library for OpenCL/CUDA. It has been created for ease of GPGPU development with C++ and provides convenient and intuitive notation for linear algebra operations, vector arithmetic and various parallel primitives.

[This article is interesting not only because it's about work being proposed for consideration in the Concurrency TS, but also because it's interesting that we seem to be seeing a trend of articles being published on GitHub instead of on a blog... --Ed.]
Await, coroutines, what could that bring for game development
This article shows how we can use
awaitin way not related to threading, tasks, or asynchronous I/O, but in the context of a game, to write game logic-related code spanning accross many frames in a sequencial way, without introducing any threads with little to no performance penalty.

The latest version of Edouard Alligands talk on Multiplatform development with C++:
by Edouard Alligand
From the talk description:
C++ is a multiplatform language, yet many difficulties arise when you want the same code to compile properly and function identically on different platforms. If you put aside the obvious system programming related obstacles, and the differences you might have between compilers (especially when it comes to supporting C++11 and C++14), you come to the surprising conclusion that what is truly hard is all the “little things” you didn’t anticipate.
