C++26 Library: string and string_view ProcessingJanuary 13, 2025 - 11:42 am
C++26 offers many small improvements around strings and string_views. First of all: What is a string_view? std::string_view A std::string_view is a non-owning reference to a string. It represents a view of a sequence of characters. This sequence of characters can be a C++ string or a C-string. In a typical way, C++17 offers four type […]
My Next Mentoring Program: ” Embedded Programming with Modern C++” startsJanuary 2, 2025 - 6:00 pm
My next mentoring program, “Embedded Programming with Modern C++,” starts on January 31st. Registration is open. Here are more details. Embedded Programming with Modern C++ The mentoring program consists of 16 stations. You have to invest at least 3 hours per week for each one. This means the program takes four months, and you can […]
std::execution: More SendersDecember 23, 2024 - 10:40 am
std::execution offers three types of senders: factories, adapters, and consumers. I’ll take a closer look at these today. Most of the following content is from proposal P2300R10. I will try to represent it more concisely. Sender Factory A sender factory is an algorithm that takes no senders as parameters and returns a sender. I already […]

std::execution: Composition of SendersDecember 9, 2024 - 10:25 am
Most sender adaptors are composable using the pipe operator. Let me start with a simple example of composition with the pipe operator. Instead of the nested function calls call1(call2(input)) you can write call1 | call2(input) or even: input | call1 | call2 Function composition Okay, this example was straightforward. Let’s do something more complicated. Proposal […]
std::execution: Inclusive ScanDecember 2, 2024 - 10:30 am
Inclusive scan solves problems related to range queries, such as calculating the sum of a range of elements in an array. It is also used in range minimum queries and various other algorithms. Before I present the asynchronous inclusive scan, I introduce the inclusive scan, aka prefix sum. Prefix Sum In computer science, the prefix […]
