C++ More C++26 reflection at compile-time -- Andreas Fertig
In today's post, I like touch-up on C++26's static reflection. In case you haven't seen, I wrote a first post C++26 reflection at compile-time a while ago. C++ More C++26 reflection at compile-time by Andreas Fertig From the article: One of the great things about reflection is that we can already explore the new feature since with Clang there is a compiler a
C++26 - Enter Static Reflection -- Keith Stockdale
Quite recently it was announced that the release of GCC 16.1 brought in a load of C++26 reflection goodies. From looking at my LinkedIn, it seemed like everyone was extremely excited for this and a load of static reflection articles started popping up on my feed. This all got me a little excited to try it too, and I felt like this problem would be a good way

Evolving a Translation System with Reflection in C++
A nice example of C++26 reflection moving from theory into something practical. Evolving a Translation System with Reflection in C++ By GitHub user: friedkeenan From the post: Lately, I’ve been using C++26 reflection to create some crazy and cursed stuff.

What Happens When a Destructor Throws -- Sandor Dargo
Even experienced C++ developers sometimes stumble on a deceptively simple question: what actually happens when a destructor throws an exception? This post breaks down the mechanics behind stack unwinding, noexcept , and why throwing from destructors is almost always a bad idea What Happens When a Destructor Throws by Sandor Dargo From the article: Recently I
What reinterpret_cast doesn't do -- Andreas Fertig
In today's post, I will explain one of C++'s biggest pitfalls: reinterpret_cast . Another title for this post could be: This is not the cast you're looking for! What reinterpret_cast doesn't do Andreas Fertig From the article: My motivation for this blog post comes from multiple training classes I thought over the past several months and a couple of talks I

The road to 'import boost': a library developer's journey into C++20 modules -- Rubén Pérez Hidalgo
C++20 modules have been in the standard for more than 5 years already. They promise to deliver a big change to how we write C++, but their adoption hasn't been as widespread as one would have expected. This talk is a deep dive into the practical aspects of C++20 modules, exploring the reality of the ecosystem as it is today. The road to 'import boost': a lib

Let the Compiler Check Your Units -- Wu Yongwei
Mixing your units can be disastrous. Wu Yongwei takes a quick look at C++ unit libraries that can help keep everything in order. Let the Compiler Check Your Units by Wu Yongwei From the article: I recently came across a C++ standard proposal P3045 [ P3045R7 ], which aims to add physical units to C++. Curious, I looked into the existing unit libraries and wen

C++26: Structured Bindings in Conditions -- Sandor Dargo
Structured bindings in conditions may look like a small syntax sugar, but they let us write much more expressive conditional logic. By allowing decomposition and condition checking to live side by side, C++26 reduces boilerplate, improves locality, and better supports modern result types that bundle status and data together. This is a pragmatic, well-integra

Annotations for C++26 Hashing -- Krystian Piękoś
Static reflection already makes generic hashing in C++26 far more expressive, but annotations push it into genuinely ergonomic territory. By letting types explicitly opt-in to hashing and allowing individual members or base classes to be cleanly excluded, we get a solution that is both powerful and readable.
