CppCon 2018: Modern C++ Design

Titus Winters and Modern C++

By Tom Manshreck, Abseil Tech Writer

CppCon 2018 was held in Bellevue, WA at the end of September.

C++ has changed a lot since the transformative introduction of C++11. It is now all too apparent that C++ API Design itself also needs to change as the lessons learned about, for example, type design become more understood.

Titus Winters reflects on the changes to C++ and how the introduction of new principles such as move-only types have affected API design in this two-part talk.

In the first part, Titus focuses on parameter passing and an API’s overload set in providing a powerful conceptual framework for API design. In the second part, we focus on the properties of well-designed types, and how to think about things like Regularity. We discuss how Regularity (...)

Pacific++ 2018: C++ Past vs. Future by Titus Winters

From the video:

Over the last 35 years, C++ has remained a constant fixture in the programming landscape. With advancements in the language through C++11, 14, and 17, we’ve created new dialects that have breathed new life into C++. With C++ Core Guidelines and a rich community of authors and speakers providing guidance on C++, it is easier now to steer clear of problem areas and hopefully stay in the “good parts” of the language. Or at least, that’s what we’d like. In practice, many habits of C++ programmers are unsafe and will be hard to keep working. The triple perils of ADL, ODR, and ABI leave a wide assortment of pitfalls for code maintenance. Many systems happen to work, but perhaps (...)

Coroutine Types
▻https://abseil.io/blog/20180713-coroutine-types

By Titus Winters

The first hint of standard library design that takes advantage of coroutines (P1056) came through the Library Evolution Working Group (LEWG, responsible for design for the C++ standard library) during the Rapperswil meeting this summer. It was … surprising. As much as I want coroutines in the language, the design smell here was disconcerting. I want to point out what LEWG saw before we commit to this direction irrevocably - coroutine types as currently designed are baffling.

Background

Coroutines are an important new language feature for C++, but also a very old idea. In its current incarnation, the major force behind Coroutines in C++ is Gor Nishanov (whom I absolutely love working with). If you aren’t familiar with the history, or want a refresher on how (...)

Revisting Regular Types—Titus Winters
▻http://isocpp.org/feeder/?FeederAction=clicked&feed=All+Posts&seed=http%3A%2F%2Fisocpp.org%2Fblog%2F2

An updated discussion on C++ type design, especially the overlap between Regular and reference types.

Revisiting Regular Types

By Titus Winters

From the article:

With 20 years of experience, we know that Regular type design is a good pattern - we should model user-defined types based on the syntax and semantics of built-in types where possible. However, common formulations of Regular type semantics only apply to values, and for performance reasons we commonly pass by reference in C++. In order to use such a reference as if it were its underlying Regular type we need some structural knowledge of the program to guarantee that the type isn’t being concurrently accessed. Using similar structural knowledge, we can treat some non-Regular types as if they were Regular, including (...)

What Should Go Into the Standard Library—Titus Winters

Titus responds to Guy Davidson’s article, what should go into the STL.

What Should Go Into the C++ Standard Library

By Titus Winters

From the article:

So, what should go in the standard library? Fundamentals. Things that can only be done with compiler support, or compile-time things that are so subtle that only the standard should be trusted to get it right. Vocabulary. Time, vector, string. Concurrency. Mutex, future, executors. The wide array of “sometimes useful data structure” and “random metaprogramming” could and should be shuffled off into a semi-standard repository of available but distinct utility libraries. Those may themselves have different design and stability philosophies, like Boost or Abseil - the principles that make the standard what it is are not (...)

Pliny’s literary challenge, in composing his “Natural History” in 1st century A.D., was giving “novelty to what is old, and authority to what is new.” Modern engineering’s is to see that what is old has some authority, too.“Roman Capriccio: The Pantheon and Other Monuments,” by Giovanni Paolo Panini (1735)The Roman naturalist Pliny the Elder can be charmingly self-deprecating. He attempted, in the 1st century A.D., to curate all ancient knowledge in his Natural History, yet he described its 37 volumes to his close friend’s son, Titus, the Emperor of Rome, as having “such inferior importance.” To Pliny, they did “not admit of the display of genius,” nor “of anything particularly pleasant in the narration, or agreeable to the reader.” But he reminded Titus of his basic challenge—that it was, “indeed, (...)

Source: Sakvarelidze to become Odesa Oblast’s top prosecutor
▻http://www.kyivpost.com/content/kyiv-post-plus/source-sakvarelidze-to-become-odesa-oblasts-top-prosecutor-397848.html

Deputy Prosecutor General Davit Sakvarelidze will become Odesa Oblast’s chief prosecutor, a source familiar with the situation told the Kyiv Post on Sept. 14.

At the same time, he will keep his position as a deputy prosecutor general, the source said. The source suggested that the reason for the move was that Odesa Oblast Governor Mikheil Saakashvili needed a trusted man to crack down on corruption.

The source is not authorized to speak publicly and requested anonymity. Artem Demartino, a spokesman for the Prosecutor General’s Office, and Sakvarelidze’s spokesperson had no comment.

Sakvarelidze, who was Georgia’s first deputy prosecutor general from 2009 to 2012, is seen as close to Saakashvili, the ex-Georgian president. Saakashvili has announced a plan to crack down on corruption in Odesa Oblast, while Sakvarelidze launched an anti-corruption campaign at the Prosecutor General’s Office by arresting two top prosecutors in July.

The source also said that Sakvarelidze would “still be responsible for the open competition for the positions of top local prosecutors.”

Sakvarelidze oversees a reform of the Prosecutor General’s Office that envisages organizing a transparent and competitive hiring process for prosecutors. The source added that Sakvarelidze was still set to continue changing staff and work guidelines for the Prosecutor General’s Office and top regional prosecutors during the second stage of prosecutorial reform scheduled for next year.

Clash with palm oil company leaves one indigenous community member dead in #Sumatra
▻http://farmlandgrab.org/post/view/23241-clash-with-palm-oil-company-leaves-one-indigenous-community-memb

A member of the Suku Anak Dalam indigenous community was killed and five others were injured during a clash with security forces on an oil palm concession owned by PT Asiatic Persada in Sumatra, reports Mongabay-Indonesia.

The incident occurred Wednesday evening in Bungku, Jambi. According to eyewitness accounts, security forces raided the village and arrested Titus, a 26-year old resident, who was forcibly taken into custody. It is unclear why he was arrested.

As word of the arrest spread, a large number of residents approached the Asiatic Persada office where Titus was taken. Security responded with force, firing guns and beating the protesters, six of whom were seriously injured and taken to local hospitals. One of the victims, Pujiono, aged 40, succumbed to his injuries at 11 pm.

The State of Arabic Webfonts — TORPEQU

I have to admit that I am a little disappointed with the outcome: It looks like there is no way to create a fully functional Arabic webfont (without the help of black magic as it seems to be practiced by the creators of Nimbus) as of today.

Même constat (et méga-énervé).
