5 ways how unique_ptr enhances resource safety in your code

by Bartlomiej Filipek

From the article:

While shared_ptr and weak_ptr are more complex, unique_ptr seems to be a perfect replacement for owning raw pointers. Not to mention is the fact that this pointer type is mostly a compile time “wrapper” and it cost almost nothing in the runtime.

Your own type predicate by Andrzej Krzemieński

From the article:

In this post we will see how to define a type trait or a type predicate or a meta-function that would allow us to check at compile time whether a type exposes an interface that we need. That is, we want to check if a given type T has: nested typename result_type, static member function set_limit that takes one argument of type int, member function get_result that returns type const result_type& and that is declared not to throw (...)

Quick Q: May a destructor be final?
▻http://isocpp.org/feeder/?FeederAction=clicked&feed=All+Posts&seed=http%3A%2F%2Fisocpp.org%2Fblog%2F2

Quick A: Yes, as any other virtual member function.

Recently on SO:

May a destructor be final? May a C++ destructor be declared as final? Yes. And if so, does that prevent declaration of a derived class: Yes, because the derived class would have to declare a destructor (either explicitly by you or implicitly by the compiler), and that destructor would be overriding a function declared final, which is ill-formed. The rule is [class.virtual]/4: If a virtual function f in some class B is marked with the virt-specifier final and in a class D derived from B a function D​::​f overrides B​::​f, the program is ill-formed. It’s the derivation itself that is ill-formed, it doesn’t have to be used. Is declaring a destructor to be (...)

C++ Coroutines: Understanding operator co_await—Lewis Baker

C++ Coroutines: Understanding operator co_await by Lewis Baker

From the article:

In the previous post on Coroutine Theory I described the high-level differences between functions and coroutines but without going into any detail on syntax and semantics of coroutines as described by the C++ Coroutines TS (N4680). The key new facility that the Coroutines TS adds to the C++ language is the ability to suspend a coroutine, allowing it to be later resumed. The mechanism the TS provides for doing this is via the new co_await operator. Understanding how the co_await operator works can help to demystify the behaviour of coroutines and how they are suspended and resumed. In this post I will be explaining the mechanics of the co_await operator and (...)
