C++ Resources

Instead of return, a coroutine uses co_return returning its result. In this post, I want to implement a simple coroutine using co_return.

The C++ header file describes the characteristics of floating types. It contains platform-dependent and implementation-specific floating point values.

What happens when you write without synchronization to std::cout? You get a mess. With C++20, this should not be anymore.

std::jthread stands for joining thread. In addition to std::thread (C++11), std::jthread automatically joins in its destructor and can cooperatively be interrupted. Read in this post to know why std::jthread should be your first choice.

A typical question in my C++ seminars is: Can A thread be killed?. Before C++20, my answer is no. With C++20, you can ask a thread politely for its interruption.

In my last post, I introduced latches in C++20. A latch enables it threads to wait until a counter becomes zero. Additionally to a latch, its big sibling barrier can be used more than once. Today, I write about barriers and present atomic smart pointers.

Latches and barriers are coordination types that enable some threads to wait until a counter becomes zero. You can use a std::latch only once, but you can use a std::barrier more than once. Today, I have a closer look at latches.

This article shares a bunch of beginner-friendly C++ resources that are known to be of high quality. And hopefully, this list of resources can help learners who are new to C++.

Textrude is an cross-platform OSS code-generation tool that's perfectly suited to automating the generation of header and source files from CSV, JSON or YAML input files. Direct github link https://github.com/NeilMacMullen/Textrude

Semaphores are a synchronization mechanism used to control concurrent access to a shared resource. They also allow it to play ping-pong.

After the introduction to std::atomic_flag in my last post Synchronization with Atomics in C++20, I want to dive deeper. Today, I create a ping-pong game using condition variables, std::atomic_flag, and std::atomic. Let's play.

Surprising behavior of zero in C++.

What is maximal munch and how does it work.

Sender/receiver workflows are quite common for threads. In such a workflow, the receiver is waiting for the sender's notification before it continues to work. There are various ways to implement these workflows. With C++11, you can use condition variables or promise/future pairs; with C++20, you can use atomics.

Discussion on [[nodicard]] in the library for C++20, diagnostics and QoI.

Atomics receives a few important extensions in C++20. Today, I start with the new data type std::atomic_ref.

This post concludes my presentation of library features in C++20. Today I write about the class std::source_location and a few functions for bit manipulation.

When your program's compilation broke with a brand-new C++20 feature, you often end with a few questions: Did I something wrong? Did I found a compiler bug? Does my compiler not yet support this feature? Thanks to the feature testing in C++20, the last question is easy to answer.

When you compare signed and unsigned integers, you may not get the result you expect. Thanks to the six std::cmp_* functions, there is a cure in C++20.
