The book got more than 25 new pages!

2 Lines Of Code and 3 C++17 Features - The overload Pattern
While I was doing research for my book and blog posts about C++17 several times I stumbled upon this pattern for visitation of std::variant:
template<class... Ts> struct overload : Ts... { using Ts::operator()...; };
template<class... Ts> overload(Ts...) -> overload<Ts...>;
std::variant<int, float> intFloat { 0.0f };
std::visit(overload(
[](constint& i) { ... },
[](constfloat& f) { ... },
),
intFloat;
);With the above pattern, you can provide separate lambdas “in-place” for visitation.
It’s just two lines of compact C++ code, but it packs a few interesting concepts.
Let’s see how this thing works and go through the three new C++17 features that enable this one by one.

C++17 In Detail is 100% Ready!
I released “C++17 In Detail” in August 2018, and I set the status to 90%. I didn’t expect that writing of that remaining 10% would take me so long :) Now it’s high time to set the counter to 100%.
That’s why I’m pleased to announce that my book “C++17 In Detail” is now done!
See the recent changes, a new code sample and check out the promo!

Lambdas: From C++11 to C++20, Part 2
In the first part of the series we looked at lambdas from the perspective of C++03, C++11 and C++14. In that article, I described the motivation behind this powerful C++ feature, basic usage, syntax and improvements in each of the language standards. I also mentioned several corner cases.
Now it’s time to move into C++17 and look a bit into the future (very near future!): C++20.

Dark Corner of C++ Corner Cases
The C ++ 17 standard consists of almost two thousands pages. Two thousand pages describing every single aspect of the language. Some pages relates to all kinds of details, exceptions, and things that you do not care about every day. We will try to look at a few such cases, which we hope never see in the production code.

How to Iterate Through Directories in C++
How would you implement a function that searches for files with a given extension? For example, finding all text files? or *.cpp files? To code that solution you need a way to iterate through directories. Is that possible in C++ out of the box using the standard library? Let’s see some techniques and new elements that C++17 added.
