In recent weeks, we’ve explored language features and library features becoming constexpr in C++26. Those articles weren’t exhaustive — I deliberately left out one major topic: exceptions. Startin...

Last week, we discussed language features that are becoming constexpr in C++26. Today, let’s turn our attention to the standard library features that will soon be usable at compile time. One topic ...

Since constexpr was added to the language in C++11, its scope has been gradually expanded. In the beginning, we couldn’t even use if, else or loops, which were changed in C++14. C++17 added support...

To my greatest satisfaction, I’ve recently joined a new project. I started to read through the codebase before joining and at that stage, whenever I saw a possibility for a minor improvement, I rai...

Today, let’s discuss the not-too-frequently-used final specifier. I think there aren’t many good reasons to use it — something the C++ Core Guidelines also suggests. And even when you could use it,...

Up until C++23, functions, classes, function and class templates could be declared as friends. Starting from C++26, thanks to Jody Hagins’ and Arthur O’Dwyer’s proposal, P2893R3, friendship can als...

During the last two weeks, first we saw what are the language features deprecated or removed from C++26 then we did the same for library features. Life is not so straight and easy though. Sometimes...

In the previous article, we discussed what language features are removed from C++26. In this one, we are going to cover both language features that are finally removed after a few years of deprecat...

Probably you all heard that C++ is an ever-growing language - I wrote so many times as well. Each standard indeed comes with a great bunch of highly-anticipated features. At the same time, due to b...

Right at the very end of February, the C++ conference season was opened by the second edition of C++ Online. I think it won’t take you by surprise that this was an online conference. In a certain w...
