C ++ 20 is getting closer. Meeting in jacksonville

In early March, the meeting of the WG21 international working group on C ++ standardization ended in the American city of Jacksonville. At the meeting, chips were added in C ++ 20, prepared for the release of a “preview” of new components and polished to a gloss of tongue roughness.



Want to look at the news and find out:

• Why is this the gold medal on the right?
• How is cross-platform SIMD?
• What happens if 4000 is divided on the last Friday of February?
• What are the pitfalls found in coroutines?
• What cool chips for multi-threaded programming will be available soon?

Calendars and time zones

See how beautiful and easy you can now set dates in C ++ 20:

using std::chrono;
year_month_day ymd = 2016y/May/29d; // 2016-05-29

, ? :

auto tp = sys_days{ymd} + 7h + 30min + 6s + 153ms; // 2016-05-29 07:30:06.153 UTC
zoned_time zt = {"Asia/Tokyo", tp};
cout << zt << '\n';                                          // 2016-05-29 16:30:06.153 JST

4000 :

auto last_friday_feb = February/Friday[last];
std::cout << 4000 / last_friday_feb << std::endl;
