Probably the two most useful features added to C++20 are requires and requires. They make it so much easier to control overload resolution, and when combined with if constexpr in C++17, they allow basic reflection-based optimizations in templates. While requires requires has gotten a lot of (negative?!) press for controlling overload resolution, its cousin requires { requires } is a bit overlooked.

Two weeks ago, I attended the summer 2024 meeting of the ISO C++ standardization committee in St. Louis, USA. We made progress on a lot of features for C++26, but I have some thoughts about senders/receivers, reflection, and the idea of introducing borrow checking to C++.

Last week, I’ve attended C++Now 2024 and it was definitely one of the best conferences I’ve ever been to!

Last week, I attended the spring 2024 meeting of the ISO C++ standardization committee in Tokyo, Japan. We made progress on a bunch of interesting features for C++26.

In a week, the C++ standardization committee is meeting in Tokyo, Japan, to continue work on C++26. It will be my first meeting with an official role as assistant chair of SG 9.
