Getting more conforming!

Use the official Boost.Hana with MSVC 2017 Update 8 compiler by Bat-Ulzii Luvsanbat

From the article:

We would like to share a progress update to our previous announcement regarding enabling Boost.Hana with MSVC compiler. Just as a quick background, Louis Dionne, the Boost.Hana author, and us have jointly agreed to provide a version of Boost.Hana in vcpkg to promote usage of the library among more C++ users from the Visual C++ community. We’ve identified a set of blocking bugs and workarounds and called them out in our previous blog, and stated that as we fix the remaining bugs, we will gradually update the version of Boost.Hana in vcpkg, ultimately removing it and replacing it with master repo. We can conduct this development publicly in vcpkg (...)

CppCon 2017: Runtime Polymorphism: Back to the Basics—Louis Dionne
▻http://isocpp.org/feeder/?FeederAction=clicked&feed=All+Posts&seed=http%3A%2F%2Fisocpp.org%2Fblog%2F2

Have you registered for CppCon 2018 in September? Early bird registration is open now.

While we wait for this year’s event, we’re featuring videos of some of the 100+ talks from CppCon 2017 for you to enjoy. Here is today’s feature:

Runtime Polymorphism: Back to the Basics by Louis Dionne (watch on YouTube) (watch on Channel 9)

Summary of the talk:

C++ solves the problem of runtime polymorphism in a very specific way. It does so through inheritance, by having all classes that will be used polymorphically inherit from the same base class, and then using a table of function pointers (the virtual table) to perform dynamic dispatch when a method is called. Polymorphic objects are then accessed through pointers to their base class, which encourages storing objects on the (...)

compile-time iteration with C++20 lambdas—Vittorio Romeo
▻http://isocpp.org/feeder/?FeederAction=clicked&feed=All+Posts&seed=http%3A%2F%2Fisocpp.org%2Fblog%2F2

This article covers various compile-time “iteration” constructs that rely on the upcoming “familiar template syntax for lambdas” C++20 feature.

compile-time iteration with C++20 lambdas by Vittorio Romeo

From the article:

In this article I’m going to show you how to implement the above constructs, relying on a new nifty addition to C++20 lambdas: [P0428: “Familiar template syntax for generic lambdas”], by Louis Dionne. [...] It shows how to implement constructs for the following operations: Iterating over a list of types; Iterating over a list of compile-time values; Iterating over a compile-time integral range; Enumerating a list of types alongside their indices. The code provided works on g++ (...)
