In September our local C++ User Group started a “new year” of meetings after a little break in August. I had a pleasure to give a talk about string operations in C++17.
Here are the slides and additional comments.

C++ Links #7
Welcome to new C++ Links - most important and useful articles, podcasts and videos that happen between 13th and 19th of October.
Today you will find links to all proposals that will be discussed in the upcoming Standard Committee meeting in San Diego, a video explaining why C++ is not an object-oriented programming language and many more!

Five Awesome C++ Papers for San Diego
In two weeks there will be a next C++ Committee meeting. This time the group of C++ experts will travel to San Diego, and they will discuss the shape of the upcoming C++ Standards. As far as I know, the meeting will hold a record in the number of submissions! So it seems that the session will be quite exhausting :)
Here’s my list of five exciting papers that will be discussed during the meeting. I tried to pick something less popular, and usually smaller than significant features like modules, concepts or ranges.

C++ Links #8
Welcome to new C++ Links - most important and useful articles, podcasts and videos that happen between 20th and 26th of October.
Today you will find a link to the easiest papers for San Diego Meeting, an article that explains why adding unused method may have a performance impact and many more!

Parallel Algorithms Chapter in C++17 In Detail
Yesterday I finally updated the book! The main point of this refresh was to provide an updated and rewritten version of the “Parallel Algorithms” chapter. “C++17 In Detail” grew by 20 pages (up to 270).
See what’s inside and read about a promo and a giveaway.

C++ Links #9
Welcome to new C++ Links - most important and useful articles, podcasts and videos that happen between 3rd and 9th of November.
In this week we have C++ Standards Committee meeting in San Diego, we all can’t wait when first reports come out! Until then - one of the links is Herb Sutter pre-meeting trip report. You will also find video about differences between std::cerr, std::cout& std::clog, and many more!

The Amazing Performance of C++17 Parallel Algorithms, is it Possible?
With the addition of Parallel Algorithms in C++17, you can now easily update your “computing” code to benefit from parallel execution. In the article, I’d like to examine one STL algorithm which naturally exposes the idea of independent computing. If your machine has 10-core CPU, can you always expect to get 10x speed up? Maybe more? Maybe less? Let’s play with this topic.

C++ Links #10
Welcome to new C++ Links - most important and useful articles, podcasts and videos that happen between 10th and 16th of November.
This week we have link to another ISO C++ Standards Committee Meeting report - this time from Herb Sutter, you can also find link to video with unusual initialization using Designated Initializers.

How to Boost Performance with Intel Parallel STL and C++17 Parallel Algorithms
C++17 brings us parallel algorithms. However, there are not many implementations where you can use the new features. The situation is getting better and better, as we have the MSVC implementation and now Intel’s version will soon be available as the base for libstdc++ for GCC.
Since the library is important, I’ve decided to see how to use it and what it offers.

C++ Links #11
Welcome to new C++ Links - most important and useful articles, podcasts and videos that happen between 24th and 30th of November. In this week you can found links to blog post series about good interface design, benchmarks for C++17 parallel algorithms, a video about compiler attributes and many more!

How to Use The Newest C++ String Conversion Routines - std::from_chars
With C++17 we get another facility to handle the conversion between text and numbers. Why should we care about the new routines? Are they better in any way?

C++ Links #12
Welcome to new C++ Links - most important and useful articles, podcasts and videos that happen between 1st and 7th of December.
In this week you will find a link with learning resources from SG20 Education, article about optimising C++ code and many more!

How To Parallelise CSV Reader - New Chapter
Learning new language and library features in isolation might not be the best choice. That’s why in my book I also added bigger examples where many C++ elements coexist together.
This time I’d like to describe another book update where I create and walk through a CSV reader application. The application uses a lot of language and library components. And the main task is to parallelise it. Can it work faster than the sequential version?

C++ at the End of 2018
2018 is almost over (just a few hours left in Poland till midnight). As in previous years, I did a summary of many things that happened in the C++ community. This year seems to be marked with a solid progress towards the standardisation of C++20, using more and more C++17 and as always the growth in the community.
Let’s have a look.

C++ Links #13
Welcome to new C++ Links - most important and useful articles, podcasts and videos that happen between 29th December 2018 and 4th of January 2019.
We are back after a month break - we hope that we won't have such long breaks in the future.
The most important event from the last weeks is "Niebler Gate", long and controversial topic that started from Eric Niebler post. It relates to the state of C++, "debug-ability", entry level for learning C++, gamedev and more.

C++ Links #14
Welcome to new C++ Links - most important and useful articles, podcasts and videos that happen between 5th and 11th of January 2019.
This week you will link to post about over complicated initialisation of the variables, link to an article that checks which STL header it’s the longest being parsed and many more!

How to get File Size in C++?
Before C++17 we could often complain that even simple tasks as getting a file size were complicated. With std::filesystem things get a bit easier!

std:filesystem::file_size Advantages and Differences
Subtitle: Learning std::filesystem through file_size routines.
Last week I wrote a short post that explained how to use std::filesystem::file_size. Today I’d like to continue and show some significant differences that this new functionality has over the “older” techniques (like reading a file and getting its file position).
We’ll also learn something about permissions and how to manage them in std::filesystem.
