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 (...)

Long-Term Support (LTS) Branches

By Tom Manshreck, Abseil Tech Writer

Abseil encourages developers to “live at head” but we understand that philosophy may not work for everyone. We are therefore providing snapshots of the Abseil codebase. These snapshots are available as “Long Term Support” (LTS) branches of Abseil, and we intend to provide a new snapshot every 6 months or so.

We pledge to support these LTS snapshots for at least 2 years. If critical bug fixes, such as security issues, require us to change Abseil, we will also change them within any supported LTS snapshot.

NOTE: we don’t want you to think of these snapshots as “versions.” They are simply a snapshot of the codebase at a specific point in time. If you cannot build from source or otherwise live at head, prefer to use the latest LTS branch of Abseil instead. (...)

Abseil Publishing Google’s C++ “Tips of the Week”

By Tom Manshreck, Abseil and C++ Tech Writer

From the article:

Background: About five years ago, within Google we started publishing a series of C++ tips, about once a week, that became known as the “C++ Tips of the Week” (TotW). They became wildly successful, and we are still publishing them to this day (indicating that a language as rich as C++ will not deplete us of topics anytime soon). Not only do we discuss the finer points of the language, but in true “tip” fashion, offer our advice or design preferences. The collective set of C++ TotW has become a canon within Google itself, cited thousands of times per week in code reviews and internal mailing list (...)
