Cpp On Sea 2019 Trip Report by Arne Mertz
From the article:
From February 3rd through February 6th I have been in Folkestone, UK, to visit the first C++ On Sea conference. There must be something in the water on that island that enables them to organize fantastic conferences like ACCUConf and, since this year, C++ On Sea. C++ On Sea is definitely the best conference I have ever been to, and here’s a little glimpse why I think so...

Modern C++ Features – Quality-of-Life Features—Arne Mertz

Modern C++ Features – Quality-of-Life Features by Arne Mertz
From the article:
With the new C++ standards, we got a lot of features that feel like “quality-of-life” features. They make things easier for the programmer but do not add functionality that wasn’t already there. Except, some of those features do add functionality we couldn’t implement manually. Some of those quality-of-life features are really exactly that. The standard often describes them as being equivalent to some alternative code we can actually type. Others are mostly quality-of-life, but there are edge cases where we can not get the effect by hand, or the feature is slightly superior to the manual implementation. I will concentrate on core language features here, since (...)

“Modern C++” != “New(est) Standard”—Arne Mertz

“Modern C++” != “New(est) Standard” by Arne Mertz
From the article:
The term “Modern C++” is often used interchangeably with “Code using the new C++ standard”. Here, “new” may be anything from C++11 to C++17 or even whatever is available of C++20 right now. I think that modern C++ is more and something different than just adding that -std=c++17 flag.

Hello CMake! by Arne Mertz
From the article:
Since I have mentioned CMake in a handful of past blog posts, it is time to give a short introduction for those that don’t know it yet. CMake is one of the most popular build systems for C++ out there. One of the main reasons probably is that it is cross-platform: It does not build the project itself but operates a platform-specific system. That means it can generate Makefiles, ninja-build files, or project files for Visual Studio or Xcode, to name just a few...
