std::format ExtensionJanuary 20, 2025 - 11:55 am
Displaying the address of an arbitrary pointer in C++ 20 fails but succeeds with C++26. C++20 Only void, const void, and std::nullptr_t pointer types are valid. If you want to display the address of an arbitrary pointer, you must cast it to (const) void*. // formatPointer20.cpp #include <format> #include <iostream> #include <string> int main() { […]
C++26 Library: string and string_view ProcessingJanuary 13, 2025 - 11:42 am
C++26 offers many small improvements around strings and string_views. First of all: What is a string_view? std::string_view A std::string_view is a non-owning reference to a string. It represents a view of a sequence of characters. This sequence of characters can be a C++ string or a C-string. In a typical way, C++17 offers four type […]

std::execution: More SendersDecember 23, 2024 - 10:40 am
std::execution offers three types of senders: factories, adapters, and consumers. I’ll take a closer look at these today. Most of the following content is from proposal P2300R10. I will try to represent it more concisely. Sender Factory A sender factory is an algorithm that takes no senders as parameters and returns a sender. I already […]

std::execution: Composition of SendersDecember 9, 2024 - 10:25 am
Most sender adaptors are composable using the pipe operator. Let me start with a simple example of composition with the pipe operator. Instead of the nested function calls call1(call2(input)) you can write call1 | call2(input) or even: input | call1 | call2 Function composition Okay, this example was straightforward. Let’s do something more complicated. Proposal […]
