as we were recently talking about C++ and safety: (John Lakos is one of the authors!) #cpp #books

every tool I see seems to state "written in Rust" and how much better it is than some C++ predecessor. - dear Rust people, I really do not care what language is used to provide functionality, I'm just looking for how useful it is. 😡

"With Qt 6.10 you will be able to integrate standard C++ data structures into Qt Quick and Qt Widgets UIs without implementing your own QAbstractItemModel. And perhaps you can skip the next repetitive implementation of QAbstractItemModel entirely and let the compiler do the work

"The unchecked access context deliberately bypasses visibility rules, allowing comparison of private and protected members. This reflection vector is then wrapped in std::define_static_array, which materializes it into a static array, making it iterable in a compile-time loop..."

TIL: [](...){}(a4, a5, na1, na2, b5, nb2); // suppresses “unused variable” warnings #cpp #readingStandard

You daily dose of Rust bashing: "That vulnerability (which could take down an entire system) is due to memory corruption in the "memory safe" Rust code..."

RIP Stack Overflow.

The simdutf library is a Unicode/base64 library part of mainstream browsers and JavaScript runtimes. The latest version 8.0.0 brings in a complete compile-time interface (constexpr) so that you can transcode or validate inputs at compile time. E.g., in C++, you can now do the

What C++ Insights can do for you? - it shows lifetime spans for your variables! 👍 Plus lesson learned (or forgotten and re-learned 😇): changed C++23 to C++20 behaviour when looping over a collection! Source: youtube.com/watch?v=ay8Bnk… #cpp #cpp20 #cpp23 #TIRL

"2. Everyone must use it ..." - oh yeah, that's the sign!

Arena allocators? we have things like that in standard - std::pmr::monotonic_buffer_resource ever heard of that? If not, maybe check out my past Meeting C++ presentation: github.com/mrkkrj/present… #cpp #cpp20 #pmr

just reading along, and then I see that: 👏👏👏 "Opinion: if a team is going to use C++ in firmware, but they refuse span, chrono, and constexpr, they should seriously consider staying in C. Half-modern C++ is where complexity grows and benefits vanish." source:

C11 dispatches a macro depending on the type of its argument. Interesting. #macros #wizardry #C11
