And the Winners are:
Last week, I launched a quiz. The price was it to win one of the five vouchers for the book “The Modern C++ Programming Cookbook” 2en Edition by Marius Bancila.

Five Vouchers to win for my book “C++20”
I give away five vouchers for my book “C++20”. In return, I have a question about the Big Four: concepts, ranges, coroutines, and modules. Which feature excites your most and why?
Performance Comparison of Condition Variables and Atomics in C++20
After the introduction to std::atomic_flag in my last post, Synchronization with Atomics in C++20, I want to dive deeper. Today, I created a ping-pong game using condition variables, std::atomic_flag and std::atomic<bool>. Let’s play.
I’m Proud to Present my New Book: C++20
I’m proud to present the early release of my book to C++20 on LeanPub. The book is 50 % done and has more than 300 pages and 150 code examples of content. I will update the book at least two times in 2021. Of course, you will get each update of the book.
Synchronization with Atomics in C++20
Sender/receiver workflows are pretty 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.
Atomic References with C++20
Atomics receives a few essential extensions in C++20. Today, I start with the new data type std::atomic_ref.
Looking for Proofreaders for my New Book: C++20
I’m looking for proofreaders for my new book “C++20”. The book serves two purposes. It provides you the details of the new C++20 standard and shows you how to use it. This book includes more than one hundred fifty examples to study the theory in praxis.
Bit Manipulation with C++20
This post concludes my presentation of library features in C++20. Today I am writing about the class std::source_location and a few functions for bit manipulation.
Feature Testing with C++20
When your program’s compilation broke with a brand-new C++20 feature, you often end with a few questions: Did I do something wrong? Did I find 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.
Safe Comparisons of Integrals with C++20
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.
