Lock-free programming is a challenge, not just because of the complexity of the task itself, but because of how difficult it can be to penetrate the subject in the first place. I …

The TL;DR - after a conversation at EuroLLVM with Steve Canon about how LLVM is missing scalar evolution analysis for floating-point, I’ve spent some spare time hacking on a new LLVM analysis pass - fpscev (Floating-Point SCalar EVolution) - available here…

I have tried to find the proper receipts to compile on the fly C++ code with clang and LLVM. It’s actually not that easy to achieve if you are not targeting LLVM Intermediate Representation, …

Concepts are one of the biggest new features coming in C++20, set to revolutionize the way we write generic code. A year ago I volunteered to implement Concepts in the Clang Compiler, and am now nearing completion of the feature. I will tell the story of…

GCC 9 was branched last Friday (see a partial list of changes ) and if all goes well, it will be released tomorrow. It is thus time for me t...

Someone on Slack recently noted C++’s penchant for cryptic acronyms. So I thought I’d write down

let me know! (And no, I’m not adding DesDeMovA.)

Let’s do this: One Like, One Undefined Behavior. I plan on running this through the weekend at least. #Cplusplus #Programming

Some life lessons for how to approach the craft of coding and the journey of becoming a better developer.

When you see an article about new C++ features, most of the time you’ll have a description of major elements. Looking at C++17, there are a lot of posts (including articles from this blog) about structured bindings, filesystem, parallel algorithms, if constexpr…

The following blog post, unless otherwise noted, was written by a member of Gamasutra's community. The thoughts and opinions expressed are those of the writer and not Gamasutra or its parent company. Any programmer can benefit from some understanding of different…

Incrementing vector<T> for various T may not perform as you’d expect.

C++20 is coming with a bunch of cool new features, one of which I’ll shortly cover here: the std::jthread.
