C++ Core Guidelines: Template Interfaces
This post is about template interfaces due to the C++ core guidelines: “…a critical concept”, because a template interface is “a contract between a user and an implementer – and should be carefully designed.”.
C++ Core Guidelines: Pass Function Objects as Operations
An interface is a contract between a user and an implementer and should, therefore, be written with great care. This also holds true if you pass an operation as an argument.
I’m Proud to Present: The C++ Standard Library including C++14 & C++17
Based on my book “The C++ Standard Library” educative.io created an interactive course. You can have it now at a discount. “C++ Standard Library including C++14 & C++17” is a interactive journey through the current C++ standard Library.
C++ Core Guidelines: Definition of Concepts, the Second
Let me continue with the rules for defining concepts in the guidelines. The first of the three remaining rules in this post is quite sophisticated.
A new Thread with C++20: std::jthread
One of the participants in my CppCon 2018 workshop asked me: “Can a std::thread be interrupted?”. No, that was my answer, but this is not correct anymore. With C++20, we might get a std::jthread.
C++ Core Guidelines: Rules for the Definition of Concepts
Although rule T.11 states: Whenever possible, use standard concepts you sometimes have to define your concepts. This post gives you rules to do it.
C++ Core Guidelines: Rules for the Usage of Concepts
We will get concepts with high probability in C++20. Here are the rules from the C++ core guidelines to use them.
CppCon 2018
This was the first time I was at the CppCon, and it was an overwhelming experience for me.
C++ Core Guidelines: Better Specific or Generic?
Concepts revolutionize the way we think about and use generic programming. They didn’t make it in C++11 or C++17 but with C++20, we will get them with a high probability.
