C++ Core Guidelines: Template Definitions
Template definitions deal with guidelines that are specific to a template implementation. This means, in particular, these rules focus on how a template definition depends on its context.

C++ Core Guidelines: Surprises with Argument-Dependent Lookup
There is, in particular, one rule left to template interfaces which are quite interesting: T.47: Avoid highly visible unconstrained templates with common names. Admittedly, the rule T47 is often the reason for unexpected behavior because the wrong function is called.
C++ Core Guidelines: Regular and SemiRegular Types
The topic for today is quite important when you create your type: Regular and SemiRegular types.
Meeting Embedded and Meeting C++ 2018
Last week I was at two conferences in Berlin: Meeting Embedded and Meeting C++. Here are my impressions from both conferences.
C++ Core Guidelines: Template Interfaces
This post is about template interfaces due to the C++ core guidelines: “…a critical concept”, because a template interface is “a contract between a user and an implementer – and should be carefully designed.”.
C++ Core Guidelines: Pass Function Objects as Operations
An interface is a contract between a user and an implementer and should, therefore, be written with great care. This also holds true if you pass an operation as an argument.
I’m Proud to Present: The C++ Standard Library including C++14 & C++17
Based on my book “The C++ Standard Library” educative.io created an interactive course. You can have it now at a discount. “C++ Standard Library including C++14 & C++17” is a interactive journey through the current C++ standard Library.
C++ Core Guidelines: Definition of Concepts, the Second
Let me continue with the rules for defining concepts in the guidelines. The first of the three remaining rules in this post is quite sophisticated.
A new Thread with C++20: std::jthread
One of the participants in my CppCon 2018 workshop asked me: “Can a std::thread be interrupted?”. No, that was my answer, but this is not correct anymore. With C++20, we might get a std::jthread.
C++ Core Guidelines: Rules for the Definition of Concepts
Although rule T.11 states: Whenever possible, use standard concepts you sometimes have to define your concepts. This post gives you rules to do it.
