c++ - Where do you go to find your C++ articles and/or news these days?

Hi

It's been a while since my consulting practice stole all the time I wanted to
spend researching and writing, and things in the
publishing world seem to have changed considerably in that time. CUJ is gone,
and other magazines seem to have lost their pizzaz
(and some, perhaps, quality along with it). Other than the ACCU, I'm not aware
of anything C/C++-related maintaining any significant
momentum. Of course, I could be quite wrong, which is why I'm putting out the
question.

I've a number of things that I want to publish in the remainder of the year,
including intro pieces, design discussions and
tutorials on Pantheios, FastFormat and flecxx, and extracts from my next book,
Breaking Up The Monolith. There're also several
things I'd like to write up that pertain to s/w engineering in general, or to
other languages.

I'd really appreciate hearing from people where they go these days, so I can
best target the prospective audience.

Some possibilities:
 - CVu / Overload (ACCU)
 - CodeProject
 - DDJ
 - The C++ Source
 - newsgroups
 - just not interested in C++ / C++ libraries any more

Thanks in advance

Matt

Well! The second guy this week, who walks in from ages of absence. Welcome back, Matthew! "- just not interested in C++ / C++ libraries any more" would be my choice. Since I don't want to start earning my bread coding in C++, there's no point in keeping more than a "read-only" fluency in C++, and thus any libraries become less relevant. When I last remember having seen you here, D was unknown to most folks. Today things are different. Why not quickly publish what you already have, and then start writing about D? Why beat a terminally ill horse, when you should use a car. (The horse bit is actually your own first paragraph, above!) Switch to D, and see Scott Meyers &co sink in the C of obsolesence, while your street credibility does the Red Bull. georg

 Welcome back, Matthew!
Thanks, but I'm not back yet. A return-to-D is still at least 5-6 months away. But I will be back for sure -> see below
 When I last remember having seen you here, D was unknown to most folks.
 Today things are different.

 Why not quickly publish what you already have, and then start writing

 (The horse bit is actually your own first paragraph, above!)
Well, there're several answers. One is that commercially I earn my Java). As yet there are no D things happening in any commercial space that I come near. Another side of things is that I've been working on C++ libraries that, in part, borrow some ideas from D (and other languages). You may or may not have heard of Pantheios, my C++ logging API library. It's 100% type-safe, extensible, generic and *extremely* efficient - up to two orders of magnitude faster than all the other C++ logging libraries. Part of the reason for this is that it is able to convert logging statement components to string slices (len+ptr) - i.e. like a D string - which are then treated generically by the core functions that congregate them into a logging entry. And it only does any of this _after_ it's determined whether a given statement is to be logged or not, so it's effectively zero-cost when that logging level is switched off. In one fell-swoop, Pantheios can eliminate #ifdef DEBUG from application code forever, thanks in part to its D influences. ;-) As soon as I get Pantheios out of beta (it's at beta 119, even though it's in production systems around the globe) I plan to write Pantheios.D, and am open-armed to any willing D-collaborators. The other major library that I'm working on is FastFormat, which is be a generic, extensible, 100% type-safe, *highly* efficient, I18N/L15N-enabling formatting library that I expect (or at least hope) will kill stone dead C's streams, C++'s IOStreams and any other C++ output/formatting libraries currently in use. It uses similar technology to Pantheios, and is influenced by D's writef() to some degree. I hope to release this in the next few weeks, and again spreaD some Design into the C++ worlD. ;-)
 Switch to D, and see Scott Meyers &co sink in the C of obsolesence,

Well, not sure I think of it quite like that, but I'm definitely still interested in D and plan to get back into it when I am able. Cheers Matt

Well, there're several answers. One is that commercially I earn my to do their thing better, or building products for clients (in C++, space that I come near.
When I was a kid and read SciAm, I saw all these ads about commercial versions of Lint. Made me sick to see that a language is so un-ergonomic that you have to buy expensive tools like that. When my grandfather worked at Nokia, all they made was rubber boots and winter tyres. Later, when my college schoolmate's father was the CEO, they diversified into electronics. They even made a CP/M computer, called MikroMikko. But it was his idea to start making your own future, and that's when they got into mobile phones. We're doing that with D.
 Another side of things is that I've been working on C++ libraries 
 that, in part, borrow some ideas from D (and other languages). You 
 may or may not have heard of Pantheios, my C++ logging API library. 
 It's 100% type-safe, extensible, generic and *extremely* efficient - 
 up to two orders of magnitude faster than all the other C++ logging 
 libraries. Part of the reason for this is that it is able to convert 
 logging statement components to string slices (len+ptr) - i.e. like a
  D string - which are then treated generically by the core functions 
 that congregate them into a logging entry. And it only does any of 
 this _after_ it's determined whether a given statement is to be 
 logged or not, so it's effectively zero-cost when that logging level 
 is switched off.
Now that's something that ought to be in D's CV!
 In one fell-swoop, Pantheios can eliminate #ifdef DEBUG from 
 application code forever, thanks in part to its D influences. ;-)
 
 As soon as I get Pantheios out of beta (it's at beta 119, even though
  it's in production systems around the globe) I plan to write 
 Pantheios.D, and am open-armed to any willing D-collaborators.

Well, that's quite surprising. I started with that representation (in recls) for that very purpose, but the use cases in which that was an advantage were substantially fewer than those where you need the length. So I've gone with len+ptr in all subsequent cases/libraries - including Pantheios and FastFormat - and I'm confident (at least for the kinds of things I've done with slices) that that's the right decision. Of course, things might be different in D / with what Walter wants to do, but I'm skeptical until demonstrated otherwise. Just my tuppeneth Matt

I think it was to do with optimizations the compiler could do with loop iterations. Of course I'm not going to put words in Walters mouth. Maybe someone can find the thread. -Joel

Probably not in terms of what I tend to do day-to-day. But Pantheios (and the no-more-than-weeks-from-release FastFormat) provides high performance, low memory allocation, and high robustness, all of which (I'm already being told by games users) are essential features of any library that will be used in games. So I guess I have an indirect interest.

Thanks. Have you read Extended STL, volume 1 yet? It's a *far* better written book, and continues the shining lights into deep, dark corners approach of IC++. Cheers Matt

Great. Thanks. (Did you put a review on Amazon ... ;-) Also, as I asked Joel, have you read Extended STL, volume 1? It's kind of a similar flavour/approach, albeit in a more constrained, modern, subject area. And it's *heaps* better written than IC++.
