You know the feeling. You open a pull request on Monday morning. You ping the reviewer(s). You go to lunch. You come back. Nothing. You context-switch to something else. On Wednesday, the reviewer ...

You have two overloads of g(). One requires A<T> for each element in a pack, the other requires C<T> — where C is a stricter concept that subsumes A. Both apply to the types you’re pass...

C++26 continues to fill the gaps in our type-erased callable wrapper story. We already had std::function since C++11 and std::move_only_function since C++23, but there were still missing pieces. No...

Undefined behavior (UB) in C++ is one of the hardest categories of bugs to deal with. It can silently corrupt memory, cause crashes far from the actual mistake, or — worst of all — just happens to ...

I recently stumbled upon the TRIGGERnometry podcast, which brands itself as a “free speech show”. It’s hosted by two (former) comedians, Konstantin Kisin and Francis Foster. I usually listen to the...

If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you might remember that it wasn’t always just about C++. For years, alongside the language features and investigations, I wrote about careers, feedback...

Let’s continue our exploration of C++26 improvements. Today we focus on string_view. Some types got new constructors accepting string_views, and concatenation of strings and string_views just got e...

Last week, we talked about how C++26 improves structured bindings by allowing them to be used in conditionals’ init statements. We also briefly touched on other improvements coming in C++26, such a...

Structured bindings were introduced in C++17 as an alternative way of declaring variables. They allow you to decompose an object into a set of named variables, where the collection of those binding...

In some earlier articles, we used the term freestanding. We said that a freestanding implementation is one that operates without the support of a hosted operating system. Think embedded systems, OS...
