On Saturday afternoon, at the ISO C++ meeting in Oulu, Finland, we completed the feature set of C++17 and approved sending out the feature-complete document for its primary international comment ballot (aka “CD” or Committee Draft ballot).
An hour later, I sat down (via Skype) with Rob and Jason to do a CppCast interview about C++17 and what happened at the just-concluded meeting. I hope you enjoy it. Also check out the two related links:
- Bryce Lelbach’s nice Reddit summary of the features that were just approved
- The nice reminder about CppCon registration (the early bird deadline is this Friday)
Yesterday was a (long) travel day as many of us made our way back home — and had ad-hoc standards discussions in several different airport departure lounges. Now that I’m back in the office with my usual coffeemaker nearby, I’ll soon get around to writing up a written trip report. In the meantime, I hope you find the CppCast and other links useful.
(Interestingly, it just now occurs to me as I write this that one of the things we just adopted for C++17 make the CppCast subtitle needlessly verbose… the “<C++>” part can now be inferred! Cute. C++ without lots of angle brackets… who knew?)
Written trip report would be super nice and appreciated!
It was an awesome interview to listen.
About the comment at the end, this is just if you assume this string literal type is (convertible to) C++, isn’t it? :)
