As we discussed last week, comparing numbers with different signs can be dangerous in C++. If you try to compare a signed with an unsigned integer, you might get a result that makes no sense if you...

Comparing two numbers should be easy right? Maybe it should, yet it’s not the case in C++ even if we constrain the comparison to the domain of integral numbers. If you try to compare a signed with...

The last week of September I had the honour to share my thoughts in the heart of Transylvania about clean code and software quality at DevTalks Cluj. Over the last few years, DevTalks became a succ...

I wanted to share a few words on why you should care about your scripts. Programming is a science. Programming is art. Programming is a craft. Programming is… Programming is like gardening Diffe...

This summer, I gave a talk at C++ On Sea about Why Clean Code is not the norm where at the end, Conor Hoekstra - who you might know from code_report or from other podcasts - asked me a question abo...

I read recently “constexpr functions: optimization vs guarantee” by Andreas Fertig. I was a bit surprised by some of his claims about constexpr functions regarding binary size so I decided to go af...

I know the above title is a bit vague. As we move forward with the introduction of C++23 features, there are going to be some articles like that. At the same time, there are more than two features ...

Has it ever happened to you that you had a job at a cool company but your daily tasks were somewhat meh? If you’ve been working for at least a few years, I’m sure that this happened to you. Probab...

In this blog post, let’s see two papers in C++23 that are being introduced due to compatibility with C. The <stdatomic.h> header Originally, atomics for C and C++ were designed together. Th...

Recently, we discussed that C++23 introduces the multidimensional subscript operator which will work - for the time being - only with new containers. In C++23 that basically means mdspan. In C++26,...
