Another report.

Trip report: February 2019 ISO C++ committee meeting, Kona, Hawai’i by Timur Doumler

From the article:

What better way to start my new blog than to publish a trip report from the most recent C++ committee meeting on the wonderful Big Island of Hawai’i? If you are looking for an incredibly detailed report of everything that happened, please instead head to this report by Bryce and others, and also see Herb Sutter’s and cor3ntin’s reports. I won’t try to provide this breadth of coverage, and instead focus on a few areas that are particularly relevant for me and the community that I am proxying here: Making C++ simpler, more uniform, and easier to teach; Providing developers with better tools; Improving support for low-latency and (...)

From the just-concluded ISO C++ meeting:

Trip report: Winter ISO C++ standards meeting (Kona) by Herb Sutter

From the article:

Per our official C++20 schedule, this was the last meeting to approve features for C++20... So we now know most of the final feature set of C++20! At our next meeting in July, we expect to formally adopt a few additional features that were design-approved at this meeting but didn’t complete full wording specification review this week, and then at the end of the July meeting we will launch the primary international comment ballot (aka CD ballot) for C++20....

Quick Q: How to use auto keyword to assign a variable of type uint32_t or uint64_t in C++
▻http://isocpp.org/feeder/?FeederAction=clicked&feed=All+Posts&seed=http%3A%2F%2Fisocpp.org%2Fblog%2F2

Quick A: Write the type!

Recently on SO:

How to use auto keyword to assign a variable of type uint32_t or uint64_t in C++ I’m assuming you’re working with the AAA style suggested by Herb Sutter. In that case, a nice solution is to simply write: auto variable_name = uint64_t 5000000000 ; This is clear, consistent, and explicitly typed with no nasty C-preprocessor necessary.

Trip report: Fall ISO C++ standards meeting (San Diego) by Herb Sutter

From the article:

On Saturday November 10, the ISO C++ committee completed its fall meeting in San Diego, California, USA, hosted with thanks by Qualcomm. This was the biggest ISO C++ meeting in our 29-year history, with some 180 people at the meeting, representing 12 nations... Because this is one of the last meetings for adding features to C++20, we gave priority to proposals that might make C++20, and we adopted a number of them for C++20...

A Case Where Using Auto Leads to Undefined Behaviour
▻https://www.fluentcpp.com/2018/10/30/case-where-auto-leads-to-undefined-behaviour

C++11’s feature auto has changed the looks of C++ code. In a lot of cases, auto alleviates code from burdening information, and using it does make code simpler. So much so that using auto becomes a second nature to make code more expressive. Should we use auto always? According to Herb Sutter guideline for C++11, yes, almost […]

Thoughts on a more powerful and simpler C++ (5 of N) by Herb Sutter

From the description:

Perhaps the most important thing we can do for C++ at this point in its evolution is to make sure we preserve its core strengths while also directing its evolution in ways that make it simpler to use. That is my own opinion at least, so this talk starts with a perspective question: What “is C++,” really? The language continues to evolve and change; as it does so, how can we be sure we’re picking C++ evolutionary improvements that not only don’t lose its “C++-ic” qualities, but make it a better C++ than ever? At recent CppCons, I’ve spoken about several of my own personal C++ evolution efforts and experiments, and why I think (...)
