Download Herb's slides for this session.

Abstract:

In addition to the many new C++11 features that everyone's listing, it has dawned on me over the winter that there's actually another major change that isn't being talked about anywhere, or even being listed as a change in C++11 at all as far as I know, because I and other key experts and committee members I've asked didn't fully realize that we altered the basic meaning of not one but two fundamental keywords in C++. It's a change that has profound consequences, that rewrites and/or invalidates several pieces of pre-C++11 design guidance, and that's directly related to writing solid code in a concurrent and parallel world. This isn't just an academic change, either — everyone is going to have to learn and apply the new C++11 guidance that we'll cover in this session.

I plan to talk about it first at C&B, in a session tentatively titled as above — I'll fill in the keywords later. You may already guess a few keyword candidates based on the description above, and here's a final hint: You'll hardly find two C++ keywords that are older, or whose meanings are more changed from C++98 to C++11. (No, they aren't auto and register.)

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 being still largely an unsolved (and actually rather loosely-defined) problem, C++11 makes no claim of having solved it. However, C++11 is a more expressive language, and as always more expressive features can be put to good use toward devising better error-safe idioms and libraries.

This talk is a thorough visit through error resilience and how to achieve it in C++11. After a working definition, we go through a number of approaches and techniques, starting from the simplest and going all the way to file systems, storage with different performance and error profiles (think HDD vs. RAID vs. Flash vs. NAS), and more. As always, scaling up from in-process to inter-process to cross-machine to cross-datacenter entails different notions of correctness and resilience and different ways of achieving such.

To quote a classic, "one more thing"! An old acquaintance—ScopeGuard—will be present, with the note that ScopeGuard11 is much better (and much faster) than its former self.

Tune in. Learn. Thanks to Andrei, Herb and Scott for inviting C9 to film these wonderful sessions, rife with practical technical information for modern, professional C++ developers.

Lavavej - Core C++, 5 of n In Part 5, Stephan teaches us about Explicit and Partial Specialization of class and function templates.

From MSDN ->

Class templates can be specialized for specific types or values of the template arguments. Specialization allows template code to be customized for a specific argument type or value. Without specialization, the same code is generated for each type used in a template instantiation. In a specialization, when the specific types are used, the definition for the specialization is used instead of the original template definition. A specialization has the same name as the template of which it is a specialization. However, a template specialization can be different in many ways from the original template. For example, it can have different data members and member functions.

Use specialization to customize a template for a specific type or value. Use partial specialization when the template has more than one template argument and you only need to specialize one of them, or when you want to specialize behavior for an entire set of types, such as all pointer types, reference types, or array types. 

// explicit_specialization1.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

// Template class declaration and definition
template <class T> class Formatter
{
   T* m_t;
public:
   Formatter(T* t) : m_t(t) { }
   void print()
   {
      cout << *m_t << endl;
   }
};

// Specialization of template class for type char*
template<> class Formatter<char*>
{
   char** m_t;
public:
   Formatter(char** t) : m_t(t) { }
   void print()
   {
      cout << "Char value: " << **m_t << endl;
   }
};

int main()
{
   int i = 157;
   // Use the generic template with int as the argument.
   Formatter<int>* formatter1 = new Formatter<int>(&i);

   char str[10] = "string1";
   char* str1 = str;
   // Use the specialized template.
   Formatter<char*>* formatter2 = new Formatter<char*>(&str1);

   formatter1->print();
   formatter2->print();
}

This was filmed at C++ and Beyond 2012. This is the full session in all of its splendor. Huge thanks to Scott for allowing C9 to provide this excellent C++11 content to the world.

From Scott's recently published article in the October 2012 edition of ACCU's Overload:

Given that rvalue references are declared using "&&", it seems reasonable to assume that the presence of "&&" in a type declaration indicates an rvalue reference. That is not the case:

Widget&& var1 = someWidget; // here, "&&" means rvalue reference

auto&& var2 = var1; // here, "&&" does not mean rvalue reference

template<typename T>

void f(std::vector<T>&& param); // here, "&&" means rvalue reference

template<typename T>

void f(T&& param); // here, "&&" does not mean rvalue reference

In this article, I describe the two meanings of "&&" in type declarations, explain how to tell them apart, and introduce new terminology that makes it possible to unambiguously communicate which meaning of "&&" is intended. Distinguishing the different meanings is important, because if you think "rvalue reference" whenever you see "&&" in a type declaration, you'll misread a lot of C++11 code.

Tune in. Scott's an incredible presenter and it's well worth your time to both read his article and watch his presentation on the subject. Great stuff!

He originally planned on doing his popular "Fundamentalist Functional Programming" talk, but instead decided to address FP from a slightly different angle - "Functional Programming from First Principles". (Speaking of FP first principles, if you haven't seen Erik's FP lecture series, well, you really should!).

Has Erik changed his mind about rampant side effects and imperative programming? What's going to happen to the poor monkey Rich Hickey made reference to several times in his excellent talk The Database as a Value (which he presented after Erik's talk)? Is Erik still a functional programming fundamentalist? Watch and decide. As you'd expect, it's high energy, brilliant Erik all the way.

Get Erik's slides.

Tune in. Enjoy.

Always a pleasure to get a few titans together for a random discussion. Thank you Erik and Rich!

As Erik mentioned in the discussion, Rich has been on C9 before. Welcome back, Rich!

Rich's session from GOTO FP Night -> The Database as a Value.

Erik's session from GOTO FP Night -> Functional Programming from First Principles (Coming soon!).

Thanks to Dave Thomas for hosting C9 at this affair. We're lucky to have such a great supporter!

PS: The GOTO conference is coming to Chicago in 2013. Erik and Rich will be there along with several other great speakers.

Smiley

In this installment, Brian and Erik spend some time explaining the Lambda Calculus and most of the time digging into a real world application of general term rewriting. The Lambda Calculus is a specialized form of term rewriting (so, it's not really general term rewriting). It's OK... Brian will explain all of this (and more) by way of his general term rewriting system for analyzing the accuracy of Food Nutrition Labels (NFL). If you're curious about term rewriting and its practical application outside of theoretical computer science, then you're in luck. Brian and Erik engage the concepts at play here in their usual fun, engaging, brilliant ways.

Australia is home to a very vibrant and talent-rich developer community. It was great to have the chance to spend time at YOW! and attend several excellent sessions (you've met some of the speakers here on C9). Dave is well known for his work in object oriented and dynamic programming language design (SmallTalk) as well as virtual machines. He's a compiler guy. Dave is currently the CEO of Bedarra Research Labs.

Let's see what the godfather has to say about YOW!, JavaScript, HTML5, concurrency, modern development methodologies, technoculture and more. It's always a pleasure to get the chance to talk to Dave and we hope he'll make many more appearances on C9. Thanks again for inviting C9 to YOW!, godfather!

The YOW! Developer Conference offers outstanding opportunities to learn more about the latest practices, technologies, and methodologies for building innovative software solutions as well as the chance to meet and network with international software experts and other talented developers in Australia. Thanks to Dave Thomas and the event's excellent staff—Mary Catherine (MC), Lisa, Aino, Melissa, and others—for inviting me to this excellent pure developer event and thanks to all of the speakers for letting me take some of their time to record conversations for Channel 9. If you live in Australia, or aren't too far away, or just like to travel (who doesn't?), then you need to go to this yearly event. It's outstanding. There are many great developers down under. That's for sure. The speakers are exceptional—Dave and team set a high bar!

Simon and John have been friends for many years and studied mathematics together at Trinity College Cambridge. What were they like as young men? As students? What was Simon's issue with wearing shoes, anyway? It's always wonderful to learn about the humans behind the software, the science. This is classic C9. Yes, it's raining on us as we converse, but the view is spectacular with Sydney's Opera House behind us. It's funny how wet we were by the end of this interview, but the rain was refreshing—just like the conversation.

Thank you, Simon and John, for the great conversation, for being so comfortable in the rain, and for taking the random questions in stride. You're true gentlemen. Keep pushing the envelope!

Happy holidays from Channel 9 wherever you are and whatever, if anything, you're celebrating!

Kevin's fingerprints can also be found on the mobile products from Lonely Planet to realestate.com.au. As a speaker Kevin regularly shares his thoughts on technology, delivery processes, user interaction and creating great product teams.

Kevin's a big fan of Objective-C. We talk about this, of course. Not sure we can agree on the "beauty" of ObjC, but who cares... Kevin and team are kickin' butt and takin' names using the technology and building powerful tooling around it to support their in-house mobile development efforts. Kevin's the first ObjC developer I've interviewed, so we spend some time geeking out on it. 

It turns out that Kevin is a big fan of Windows Phone and looks forward to bringing PlayUp's mobile apps to Microsoft's new mobile platform - one which guarantees a consistent experience for both developers and consumers across varied WP7 devices. This is one of Windows Phone's best features for developers and consumers who use apps: a platform that guarantees consistent user experiences across several different WP devices. This consistency is great for developers and app users alike. I look forward to seeing PlayUp on WP7!

Thanks for joining us on C9, Kevin! Keep pushing the mobile app envelope, playing guitar and howling at the moon.

It's just a fantastic developer tool for C#; one that C9 celebrity genius and avid LINQPad user Brian Beckman calls "the app I wish I wrote". Erik Meijer, the creator of LINQ, uses LINQPad daily. If you haven't played around with LINQPad, then you need to! [End advertisement for LINQPad Smiley Hey, great work deserves praise, don't you think?]

Joe's also the author of a few C# books (targeting both pro developers and novices) and two books covering WPF. Joe lives in Perth, Australia and works for himself (right on!). Great to meet you, Joe.

Thanks again for creating and continuing to evolve LINQPad, Joe!! Smiley
