I wrote a blog post about Contracts for C++: timur.audio/contracts_expl… In this blog post, I explain in five minutes how the proposed feature works and why it's actually not very hard or complicated!

We're very excited to announce our next C++ Helsinki Meetup on Tue 30 Jan 2024! This time, we're sponsored by @HiveHelsinki, an innovative coding school, who are hosting the meetup on their campus. Anyone interested in C++ is welcome to attend! RSVP here: meetup.com/cpphelsinki/ev…

@benfrantzdale @seanbax @Nilstrieb Contracts, at least in the form proposed for C++26, are indeed mainly designed for runtime checking. However, nothing in the proposed syntax prevents a static analysis tool or similar to also make use of the annotations, if it is possible.

@seanbax @Nilstrieb @timur_audio thoughts?

So C++ 23 ships std::expected, which has operator* that is undefined behavior to use on errors. It would be awesome for the software industry if C++ genuinely pivoted towards memory safety the way some people keep talking about it, but actions like this prove the opposite.

Episode 374 of CppCast is live! @timur_audio and guest co-host @hatcat01 are joined by @CplusplusVille to talk about Qt, modern C++ features such as Modules and Sender/Receiver, and how they can integrate with the Qt framework. Listen now: cppcast.com/modern_cpp_wit…

@deusinmach And what exactly would this blessing provide that does not already exist:?

@deusinmach OK, which of these package managers should we bless, in your opinion?

People keep saying that C++ is sorely lacking proper package management. We have conan and vcpkg. I'm curious, what exactly are they missing that C++ developers need? What exactly would need to happen before people can say "package management in C++ is working well"?

@seanbax @nice_byte In your opinion, is there any other existing C++ build system that would be good enough for this purpose? If there isn't, what specifically should a C++ build system offer that none of the existing ones do?

@nice_byte @timur_audio should have a standard build system, and it should not be cmake, which is the worst programming language that ever emerged.

@iontodirel What, specifically, are they missing?
