Report from the Croydon 2026 ISO C++ Committee meeting - mp-units

The main reason for the template keyword in the syntax is because the block is first parsed as a template, and then instantiated. This means you might have to use typename or template keywords in your code now.

Somewhat related - who came up with the idea of stuffing all that domain verification tokens directly into TXT records for the domain?

Just querying the TXT record of a domain might give you an idea what products a company is using...

That leaves UCEPROTECTL3

Is anyone still using them?

I see a lot of spam coming from sendgrid, so I wonder how long they can continue operating that way until they get blocked completely by one of the larger mailbox providers.

Trip report: February 2025 ISO C++ standards meeting (Hagenberg, Austria)

see https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2024/p3471r2.html#enabling-hardening

Much like a freestanding implementation, the way to request a hardened implementation is left for the implementation to define. For example, similarly to -ffreestanding, we expect that most toolchains would provide a compiler flag like -fhardened, but other alternatives like a -D_LIBCPP_HARDENING_MODE=<mode> macro would also be conforming.

I wonder if it would be possible to build such a tool on top of tree-sitter (although not sure tree-sitter's C++ grammar can handle modules yet)

Isn't that mainly just torrent trackers that publish your IP address and then the ISP gets a request for who was using that particular IP address. I don't think an ISP would itself be interested in detecting whether their customers download illegal content - there is no business case for them to do that.

Linux Mint 22 “Wilma” released!

at least you could keep their reviews so users could at least know if the app can be trusted.

You mean, don't trust a flatpak uploaded by a random person, but if there are enough fake reviews, it can be trusted?

New features in C++26 [LWN.net]

1y 10mon ago in cpp@programming.dev from lwn.net

No mention of Reflection which was passed to the Core Working Group for wording review, or senders/receivers (on the library side) which was actually voted into the working paper.

Huh? There is no such alternation between new features and feature freeze releases. In fact, C++26 will very likely get reflection as a major new feature. In comparison, the biggest core language feature in C++23 was probably "deducting this (explicit object member functions)".

The only thing that keeps Contracts out of C++26 is that they might not be finished in time (they'll need to be handed over from Evolution to Core by the February 2025 meeting, and then make it through Core review during the summer 2025 meeting).
