C++11

You recently learned about Image Watch, a Visual Studio 2012 plug-in for visually debugging (watch window, locals, etc...) image processing code in C++. How does it work? What does the implementation look like (or how was it designed, how much modern C++ does it employ, how old is…

Herb Sutter presents atomic<> Weapons, 2 of 2. This was filmed at C++ and Beyond 2012. As the title suggests, this is a two part series (given the depth of treatment and complexity of the subject matter). STOP! => Watch part 1 first! Download the slides. Abstract: This session in…

Herb Sutter presents atomic<> Weapons, 1 of 2. This was filmed at C++ and Beyond 2012. As the title suggests, this is a two part series (given the depth of treatment and complexity of the subject matter). Part 1 -> Optimizations, races, and the memory model; acquire and…

In part 8, STL digs into the do-while loop, casts, one definition rule (ODR), and his variadic template array sorter. There is a lot of information in this episode, so get comfortable, tune in, and learn. See part 1: Name Lookup See part 2: Template Argument Deduction See part 3: Overload…

Welcome to 2013! We're excited to be back and we're sorry it's taken so long to get a new episode out the door. The Visual Studio 3D Starter Kit provides basic support for consuming DirectX 3D runtime assets produced by the MSBUILD task. This includes loading, rendering, and working with assets…

Herb Sutter presents C++ Concurrency. This was filmed at C++ and Beyond 2012. Get Herb's slides for this session. Herb says: I've spoken and written on these topics before. Here's what's different about this talk: Brand new: This material goes beyond what I've written and taught…

From C++ and Beyond 2012, Andrei, Herb and Scott present Convincing Your Colleagues - an interactive panel. Abstract: You can't do a better job if you don't change what you're doing, but change is hard.  It's especially hard when what needs to change is your colleagues' approach to…

Herb Sutter presents a "startling realization he had about C++11", and he thinks it may be a bit startling for others too. Tune in. This was filmed at C++ and Beyond 2012Download Herb's slides for this session. Abstract: In addition to the many new C++11…

In Part 7, STL teaches us about Usual Arithmetic Conversions, Template Metaprogramming, and shares some of the STL internal implementation ( some of it not yet released ). Many of you have asked for some treatment of TMP and STL delivers! Merry Christmas. Here's hoping you all have a wonderful…

Andrei Alexandrescu presents "Systematic Error Handling in C++". This was filmed at C++ and Beyond 2012 Abstract: Writing code that is resilient upon errors (API failures, exceptions, invalid memory access, and more) has always been a pain point in all languages. This…
