Conceptually a Range is a simple concept: it’s just a pair of two iterators - to the beginning and to the end of a sequence (or a sentinel in some cases). Yet, such an abstraction can radically change the way you write algorithms. In this blog post, I’ll…

You must be aware of dynamically-link libraries, but have you tried using them through LoadLibrary on Windows or dlopen on UNIX?

A library may be dynamically-linked, but not designed for being…

Metal, Cupertino’s own graphics API, is sort of a middle-ground in complexity between OpenGL and Vulkan. I’ve wanted to try it for a while, but the somewhat tight integration into Apple…

Why can't we just combine them?

A little copy pasta will take you far.

We often take it for granted that calling one of the Standard algorithms will do something meaningful. For example, when invoking `position = find(first, last, value)` we expect that if an element…

Приветствую, читатель! Хотелось бы осветить свою небольшую библиотеку для C++, которая призвана помочь Вам создавать динамические структуры в shared-памяти. Далее - под катом. Зачем это? Скорее всего,...

Give us feedback on how you would like to learn Qt.

Suppose you want to do integer arithmetic that saturates instead of overflowing.
The built-in operator+ doesn’t behave that way, so you need to roll something yourself.
Do you write a saturating_add() function or a new saturating_int type with overloaded…

Last month I and some family members entered the
Larson Family Winery’s annual St. Patrick’s Day
limerick contest.
Here are our also-rans (the first by my mom, the others by me):

A customer tried to obtain a weak reference from within a C++/WinRT class implementation by calling get_weak(). This normally works, but for some reason, the customer was getting the error winrt\base.h(7594,47): error C2338: This is only for weak ref support.…
