Fun with C++14 Lambdas at Silicon Valley Code Camp

Believe it or not, but the 9th Silicon Valley Code Camp is less than 2 weeks away and I can't wait to be at the largest software technology conference setup by developers for developers---and here is the best part---at no cost to the attendees. So far, there are 234 registered sessions, 7 technical tracks, and over 3100 registrations. So mark your calendar--it's October 11th and 12th, Saturday and Sunday, as always.



C++ is hot again at SVCC and third year in a row there is a dedicated track for modern C++. There are 11 sessions covering a wide variety of topics related to modern C++ programming.

I wanna thank SVCC organizers who generously allowed me to present two sessions: The first one is titled: Fun with Lambdas: C++14 Style[video]. You may be following the Fun with Lambdas series on this blog and hopefully having some fun too! I'll present a sampling of the content discussed here with new insights. Check out part 1, part 2, and part 3 if you haven't already. Come see how functional programming techniques are going to change the face of C++ programming beyond recognition.

The second sessions is about Reactive Programming with DDS and Rx[video]. It's about functional programming again but this time it's going to be C#. Reactive Extensions (Rx) is a fascinating new technique to compose asynchronous and event-based programs using observables and LINQ-style query operators. It fits extremely well with DDS--a data distribution technology for networked real-time systems. I'll demo commonly used Rx operators with real data coming off of a toy DDS example. More on that here.

All in all, I'm anticipating the SVCC'14 to be a pretty busy weekend once again with a lot of learning and sharing. If you are in the area and decide to attend, stop by and say hi!

An excellent work without doubt. People like you are serving the field of programming without any reward. I really appreciate your work. I have also done something for the students who are willing to learn C++ in Urdu . Keep it up.

@awais kamran: Thanks! C++ in Urdu looks pretty neat. Bahut hi acche tarike se apane samazaya hai C++ ko.

Multi-dimensional arrays in C++11

What new can be said about multi-dimensional arrays in C++? As it turns out, quite a bit! With the advent of C++11, we get new standard library class std::array. We also get new language features, such as template aliases and variadic templates. So I'll talk about interesting ways in which they come together. It all started with a simple question of how to define a multi-dimensional std::array. It is a great example of deceptively simple things. Are the following the two arrays identical except that one is native and the other one is std::array? int native[3][4]; std::array<std::array<int, 3>, 4> arr; No! They are not. In fact, arr is more like an int[4][3]. Note the difference in the array subscripts. The native array is an array of 3 elements where every element is itself an array of 4 integers. 3 rows and 4 columns. If you want a std::array with the same layout, what you really need is: std::array<std::array<int, 4>, 3> arr; That's quite annoying for

Unit Testing C++ Templates and Mock Injection Using Traits

Unit testing your template code comes up from time to time. (You test your templates, right?) Some templates are easy to test. No others. Sometimes it's not clear how to about injecting mock code into the template code that's under test. I've seen several reasons why code injection becomes challenging. Here I've outlined some examples below with roughly increasing code injection difficulty. Template accepts a type argument and an object of the same type by reference in constructor Template accepts a type argument. Makes a copy of the constructor argument or simply does not take one Template accepts a type argument and instantiates multiple interrelated templates without virtual functions Lets start with the easy ones. Template accepts a type argument and an object of the same type by reference in constructor This one appears straight-forward because the unit test simply instantiates the template under test with a mock type. Some assertion might be tested in

Want speed? Use constexpr meta-programming!

It's official: C++11 has two meta-programming languages embedded in it! One is based on templates and other one using constexpr . Templates have been extensively used for meta-programming in C++03. C++11 now gives you one more option of writing compile-time meta-programs using constexpr . The capabilities differ, however. The meta-programming language that uses templates was discovered accidently and since then countless techniques have been developed. It is a pure functional language which allows you to manipulate compile-time integral literals and types but not floating point literals. Most people find the syntax of template meta-programming quite abominable because meta-functions must be implemented as structures and nested typedefs. Compile-time performance is also a pain point for this language feature. The generalized constant expressions (constexpr for short) feature allows C++11 compiler to peek into the implementation of a function (even classes) and perform optimization
