Concepts are one of the biggest new features coming in C++20, set to revolutionize the way we write generic code. A year ago I volunteered to implement Concepts in the Clang Compiler, and am now nearing completion of the feature. I will tell the story of…

Update: Renamed the library to avoid the name Clash with QNX Photon.Let me tell you a bit about Elements... From my previous post about Ascend, some folks noticed its existence and actually found the github repository. The repository is rather underwhelming…

In this article, I'm going to tell you about PVS-Studio, an analyzer for C and C++ code, and show you how to use it in the Visual C++ environment. This guide is specifically intended for be…

Obligatory comment: The C++20 Eagle has wings. At noon today, July 20 2019, the ISO C++ committee completed its summer meeting in Cologne, Germany, hosted with thanks by Think-Cell, SIGS Datacom, S…

Run your C++ Graphics on the Desktop and Web

GCC 9 was branched last Friday (see a partial list of changes ) and if all goes well, it will be released tomorrow. It is thus time for me t...

Someone on Slack recently noted C++’s penchant for cryptic acronyms. So I thought I’d write down
a glossary of the ones I’m aware of. I’m sure I forgot some. If you think of one I’ve missed, please
let me know! (And no, I’m not adding DesDeMovA.)

Let’s do this: One Like, One Undefined Behavior. I plan on running this through the weekend at least. #Cplusplus #Programming

Some life lessons for how to approach the craft of coding and the journey of becoming a better developer.

When you see an article about new C++ features, most of the time you’ll have a denoscription of major elements. Looking at C++17, there are a lot of posts (including articles from this blog) about structured bindings, filesystem, parallel algorithms, if constexpr…

The following blog post, unless otherwise noted, was written by a member of Gamasutra's community. The thoughts and opinions expressed are those of the writer and not Gamasutra or its parent company. Any programmer can benefit from some understanding of different…

Incrementing vector<T> for various T may not perform as you’d expect.

C++20 is coming with a bunch of cool new features, one of which I’ll shortly cover here: the std::jthread.

This article summarizes the use of const, constexpr, consteval, and constinit in C++20.

C++11 lambdas brought us lambdas. They open a lot of new possibilities. Frequently asked questions are:


- How are they implemented?
- How do they work?
- How can it affect my daily programming?
- Do they generate a lot of code?
- What can I do with them?…

Yesterday, I received this question from a distinguished C++ expert who served on the ISO C++ committee for many years. The email poses a decades-old question that still has the classic roll-your-o…
