Trailing dots on host names in URLs is the gift that keeps on giving. Let me take you through a dwindling story of how the dot is handled differently in different places through the stack of an Internet client. The evil trailing dot. DNS When a given host…

Implement a range object, so you can iterate over SQL results using a range-based for loop with structured bindings.

It's just informing you that what you're doing may not have the desired effect, depending on what your desired effect was.

A while ago I wrote about speeding up Blender’s Wavefront OBJ exporter. All that landed into Blender 3.2. And since that was quite a nice experience, I started to look into the OBJ importer…

CLion 2022.1 was released in mid-April and was focused on quality improvements and enhancements for existing features and workflows. While the team has already started working on 2022.2, the scope for

Pure Virtual C++, a free one-day virtual conference for the whole C++ community, ran on 26th April 2022. All sessions are now available to watch online. Live sessions: What’s New in C++23 – Sy Brand Cute C++ Tricks, Part 2 of N: More code you should learn…

It's not about the journey. It's about the destination.

From Blackwood’s Magazine, November 1819:

This is yet another followup to “What is the std::swap two-step?” (2020-07-11)
and “PSA: ADL requires that unqualified lookup has found a function” (2022-04-14),
as my mental model continues to evolve. (Mainly due to pressure from Jody Hagins. :))

As of this writing, Chris Di Bella is running a survey on /r/cpp
asking what are the biggest pain points with Clang’s diagnostics. In the free-form text entry field, I made
two observations, which I’m now expanding into a full-fledged blog post. (Don’t worry…

В первой части статьи было рассказано о бинарном и json форматах сериализации данных, о механизмах версионирования. В этой части речь пойдет о концепции команд, сообщениях, и механизмах их доставки....

В C++ есть несколько "умных указателей" - std::unique_ptr , std::shared_ptr , std::weak_ptr . Также есть более нестандартные умные указатели, например в boost 1 : intrusive_ptr , local_shared_ptr . В...

Wavefront .obj file format is a funny one. Similar to GIF, it’s a format from the 1990s, that absolutely should not be widely used anymore, yet it refuses to go away. Part of the appeal of OBJ is relative simplicity, I guess.

Привет. В этой публикации речь пойдёт о многопоточке, каналах, подписках, планировании регулярных задач, мониторинге, нейросетях и самоэволюционирующих алгоритмах. Для начала небольшое вступление, а...

Expressive code in C++

In the previous article in the Ranges series, I covered some basics and non-modifying operations. Today it’s time for algorithms like transform, copy, generate, shuffle, and many more…. and there’s rotate as well :)
Let’s go.
Before we start   Key observations…
