Once again, I got the chance to come to Folkestone, UK. I think this was my fifth time, but the first one at ACCU On Sea. Yes, there is no more C++ On Sea, there is no more ACCU in Bristol — they g...

Memory management is one of those topics that every C++ developer has to deal with, yet very few of us take the time to study it systematically. Memory Management in C++ by Patrice Roy is a book th...

The two papers we are covering today are complementary in a philosophical sense. They both improve how string literals are handled in C++26. P2361R6 tackles strings that are never evaluated — the o...

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...
