I’m back from #CPPCON2017 now, and can report on the last day of it. First (and IMO foremost <wink />), there was my own talk on “Eight Ways to Handle Non-blocking Returns in Message-passing Programs: from C++98 via C++11 to C++20”. Not sure whether it was exciting enough (and 3 or 4 people left the talk <sad-face />), but overall – hopefully it wasn’t too bad. I’ll try to publish slides+transcript of the talk tomorrow. Then, there was an interesting talk by Juan Arrieta, “Traveling the Solar System with C++: Programming Rocket Science” (oops, apparently it was so exciting, that I didn’t…
During the Day 4 of CPPCON, I had to prepare to my own talk tomorrow; still – I was able to attend all the talks I was interested in. But before I can start – let’s discuss a thing which I just understood during CPPCON17; it is related to… Big Fallacies of Parallel Programming for Joe Average Developer Twice today, I heard pretty much the same thing, related to the concept of “utilization” of the available CPU cores. And the most funny about it was that while once, a reference to “core utilization” felt as a fallacy, on another occurrence it…

At #CPPCON2017 Day 3, I spent most of the time on the meetings of SG14 (on games and low-latency stuff); while it was certainly useful for me – the most interesting things on Day 3 happened outside of SG14. Generative C++ == The Future A name is a word of power if it is compilable— Herb Sutter — IMNSHO, the most important talk of Day 3 (and probably of the whole CPPCON2017) was the talk by Herb Sutter titled “Meta: Thoughts on generative C++”. I have a reputation of not being blindly sympathetic to the WG21 <wink />, but here I…
