Spoiler: this is a rant. 😂 I have tried to write a small side project in modern C++ recently. I wanted to have a proper setup with modern tooling and practices, in part because I wanted to see what the state of the art was for C++. So I settled on these tools: compiler: clang; build system: cmake; dependencies resolution: conan; unit test framework: I have adopted catch 2, because it looked quite simple; lsp: I have used clangd; linter: there seem to be multiple valid choices, but I have s...| Andrea Bergia's Website

There is a difference between guidelines and rules. Boiling down guidelines to one-sentence rules has drawbacks that make your code harder to understand.| Simplify C++!
Scope. To talk about C++’s current safety problems and solutions well, I need to include the context of the broad landscape of security and safety threats facing all software. I chair the ISO C++ s…| Sutter’s Mill

Class templates, function templates (including generic lambdas), and other templated functions (typically members of class templates) might be associated with a constraint , which specifies the requirements on template arguments, which can be used to select the most appropriate function overloads and template specializations.| en.cppreference.com
A discussion on Twitter got me thinking about operator precedence. It is a crucial part of most programming languages as it dictates the meaning of expressions. Interestingly enough, it is practically the same in almost all programming languages, even ones that radical try to be a better alternative for an established language. So apparently operator precedence is a solved problem, right? Well, I don’t think so. I think operator precedence is fundamentally flawed and could easily be improved.| www.foonathan.net
