Smiley How about we post a few ideas for things we'd like to know and see if STL finds any of them interesting?

I'll make a start:

  • Implementation of std::function and std::bind. This could be similar to the talk on std::shared_ptr.
  • Concurrency-related: <thread>, <future>, <async>.
  • I think STL mentioned that VS11 would have new features pertaining to allocator support; if that's mature already, that could be worth talking about.

What do you think? Any favourite topics that come to mind?

It's very useful to me to see what people are interested in hearing about - thanks for starting this.

What about Standard Library Support for localization? facets, codecvt, use cases like reading Unicode Big-Endian files with BOM checks, nasty details of wchar_t under different popular platforms.

One thing he generally mentions, almost offhanded, is that the std::for_each algorithm is able to "partially unroll" the loop.

It would be interesting to shed some light on how the standard library is able to do tricks like this where it seems to produce code that is as fast or faster than its longhand counterpart.

C++11 introduced a couple of new features, like constexpr and enable_if that make GP & TMP more user-friendly.

My favorite project would be a multi-lecture series on topics in "Modern C++ Design: Generic Programming and Design Patterns Applied" by Andrei Alexandrescu and a discussion on what's a "Modern C++11 Design" way. If that's too ambitious, perhaps a good single-lecture would be to cover Chapter 1, Policy-Based Class Design, with full use of newly introduced C++11 features to achieve more expressive/simpler/higher-performing code?

This is sort of along the lines of Herb Sutter writing a few new (or updated) Guru of the Week Items for the C++11 era. Smiley

So does that mean you have forgotten or lost the requests in previous video threads / comments?
I recall you requesting for what users are interested in and several responded.
Perhaps you should consider them before accepting new requests ?
You really should go through the comments of the videos, there are some good requests there. 

On advanced stl topics:
Not sure how advanced it would be but i'm curious of how you would implement a natural string sort function.

I've seen many versions and i'm curious of how somebody like you with good knowledge-base of the STL and how to use it correctly would implement such a function.

Is that too specific of a request ?

STL is one of the most interactive people on Channel 9 - meaning, he spends a huge amount of time reading and replying to commentary on his lecture episode posts. Seems to me you're the one not reading them....

You misunderstand me. I interpreted STL's first message as he had forgotten about the previous requests so i wanted to remind him about them.

Was i not allowed to do that ?

You came across testy, too. So, we're even. Smiley
