CPPCON Day #5. Miscellaneous

posted October 2, 2017 by "No Bugs" Hare

I’m back from #CPPCON2017 now, and can report on the last day of it. First (and IMO foremost <wink />), there was my own talk on “Eight Ways to Handle Non-blocking Returns in Message-passing Programs: from C++98 via C++11 to C++20”.

At CPPCON2017 Day 2, two talks were of special interest to me. One was a 2-hour talk about Local Allocators – and another about C++17 STL parallelised algorithms. Local Allocators The talk on Local Allocator by John Lakos was brilliant both in terms of content and in terms of presentation (I wish I’d be able to speak […]

posted September 26, 2017 by "No Bugs" Hare

At CPPCON2017 day 1, interesting (and IMO good <smile />) things were happening. A Chance to Get Readable Formatting: {fmt} IMO, the most important thing which has happened on Day 1 was a series of discussions about a potential to adding an alternative to overloaded operator << in iostreams <yay! />.
