Welcome to new C++ Links - most important and useful articles, podcasts and videos that happen between 23rd February and 1st of March 2019.

This week we have a massive update on the upcoming C++ Standard - Kona Meeting reports. Then you can also read about the history of lambdas, about smart iterators and more.

Here’s the list:

  1. The Winter ISO C++ Committee Meeting has just ended. C++20 is now feature complete!. Great news came from Kona! Most importantly - we will have modules and coroutines in C++20! A detailed report can be found on Reddit:

  2. Kona trip report from Herb Sutter - additional information about committee progress. To sum up: C++20 will be big as C++11 - Concepts, Ranges, Modules, Coroutines and more!

  3. Bartłomiej Filipek wrote a post about lambda: its history, many interesting details (capturing statics, globals, class members…). I would call it “Everything you want to know about lambda”. And… It’s only the first part!

    fluentcpp.com/2019/03/01/partitioning-data-with-output-iterators-in-cpp/

  6. Rainer Grimm writes about Misconceptions and Surprises regarding templates. For example about related types and inheritance:
