People often ask me for resources to learn C++ I highly recommend “Embracing Modern C++ Safely” by John Lakos, Vittorio Romeo, Rostislav Khlebnikov and Alisdair Meredith. This book does a masterful job at describing C++ features recommendations: how to use and when to avoid.

@CompoundAssign the compiler might optimize it away

@fenbf I've never used std::invoke for them but that does seem more expressive than dangling parens!

Do you (or your agents :)) use it in code? IIFE for Complex Initialization cppstories.com/2016/11/iife-f… #programming #cpp

The third part of my miniseries about iterations (at compile time): C++ Templates: How to Iterate through std::tuple: C++26 Packs and Expansion Statements cppstories.com/2025/tuple-ite… #programming #cpp #cpp26

see my new article: cppstories.com/2026/shared_mu… old topic, but still valid today #programming #cpp #cpp17

@KateZlv Thanks for the insights! The threading library keeps growing with each C++ release - especially since C++20 - and now includes primitives like semaphores, latches, and barriers, which nicely cover many patterns that used to require manual implementations in C.

@fenbf I have used read-write lock in C based on semaphores (it required some manual implementation). It's nice how short and clean it is in C++

155th episode of my weekly/monthly newsletter :) See here: patreon.com/posts/ep-155-m… #programming #cpp

Do you use IIFE/IILE in your #cpp code?

I updated my old post: cppstories.com/2016/11/iife-f… Do you use this technique in your code? #programming #cpp

After 8 yeas after publishing my book on #cpp17 still reaches the first 100 places at Amazon :) Thank you! Get it here: amzn.to/2Lt75s2 or here: leanpub.com/cpp17indetail #programming #cpp

Topics covered include: • nth / last weekday of a month • end-of-month handling (incl. leap years) • calendar vs duration arithmetic • simple business-day logic If you’ve avoided <chrono> calendars so far, this is a good place to start cppstories.com/2025/chrono-ca…

The article focuses on questions like: • What’s the 3rd Friday of a month? • What’s the last business day? • How many days since Jan 1? • What really happens with Jan 31 + months{1}? All examples are short, self-contained, and runnable.

C++20 <chrono> finally gives us real calendar support in the Standard Library! I’ve published "7 Practical std::chrono Calendar Examples" with small, concrete problems: cppstories.com/2025/chrono-ca…

Bartlomiej Filipek (@fenbf) has nicely explained the evolution of C++ enum classes; C++26's reflection is quite interesting. cppstories.com/2024/enum-impr…
