New C++ article! 16bpp.net/blog/post/free… #cpp

New article dropping tomorrow around 8:15 AM EST.

@savage309 I'm looking forward to postmodern C++ where I get to talk about how the language makes me feel.

Modern C++ is great at solving problems that modern C++ created

@hankadusikova That’s something I didn’t think about. Im not sure if there are significant amounts of places in PSRT where std::vector is a parameter, that I could replace with std::span.

Want to know what `noexcept` did to the performance in my ray tracing project? Read here: 16bpp.net/blog/post/noex…

@nice_byte That is something I did take a look at in godbolt and it looked to me that the functions were being directly inlined. I’m not too well versed in assembly programming so I don’t feel comfortable making any statements regarding the call sites.

New article about `noexcept` performance impact dropping on Monday. Shooting for around 8:15 AM EST.

@timur_audio Do you have DMs or an email address? I tried your old one and it wasn't working.

After reading the 350+ comments from that last article about the the 'final' keyword I feel like I need to clear some things up. 16bpp.net/blog/post/addr…

I’m visiting Albany NY for funzies this weekend. Two minutes after driving out of my hotel I saw this logo. I didn’t realize how close I was staying to the CMake devs @Kitware . Can I submit a feature request in person? 😃

In regard to that blog post on Monday about C++’s final, I’m going to be doing a follow up. It’s generated more discussion than I anticipated and I need to address some things. It could be a few weeks due to my schedule and I want to read everything throughly.

@TFautre Taking a look*

@TFautre Taking a loom at fast-math is something I meant to do but never got around to

I measured C++’s ‘final’ keyword to see if it boosted performance or not. Results were unexpected. Read here: 16bpp.net/blog/post/the-…

A nice daily programming newsletter I’ve been following.

@kjw_chiu @Peter_shirley I didn’t take a look at the assembly output for this. I thought it was more important to measure rather than guess from assembly output.

@DefPriPub @Peter_shirley Did you look at the assembly to see the reasons for the difference? Here is something that I found: godbolt.org/g/ASLk4B. So if this use case is limited, then I wouldn't expect much benefit. More interesting are the cases where the performance went down.

@nmeshofficial I have been listening to Dream Sequins since I found it in 2017. Amazing Album. And with @theneedledrop closing it makes it a masterpiece. *chef’s👨‍🍳 kiss💋*
