C++ programs that are dynamic in nature have to create objects at some time during run-time. New objects can be created by explicitly calling ‘new’ and then the data type of that object. However…

The C++ world experienced a revolution when the original STL was released by HP in the early 1990s. Based on the pioneering work of Alex Stepanov, Meng Lee, and others, the C++ community now had…

SQL is *the* language for database manipulation. However, interfacing it to C++ in a type safe manner can be awkward, requiring either preprocessors, boilerplate, or loss of type safety.

In the…

How would our code change if a member function could deduce the type and value category of the object ("this") it worked on?

Potentially a lot, and this talk will highlight some of those changes.…

C++ class design has been error prone since the beginning until Scott Meyers told us about the Rule-of-Three. But even that is not enforced by the language. In addition, C++11 changed the set of…

Designing and implementing a variant type (such as `std::variant` itself) in C++, at first, seems a rather inane topic. It turns out, however, that a variant type's performance or lack thereof,…

Testing in C++ is not easy, it often requires a lot of boilerplate code, macro usage, and/or understanding of complicated testing frameworks.
But it doesn't have to be like that. C++20 will enable…
