Title: The C++11 Standards Experience
Proposer: alisdair_meredith
Type: Presentation
Duration: 90 minutes
Description:
What is it like to explain exception safety to Herb Sutter? To tell Bjarne
that he doesn't understand C++? Or to wrestle with libraries designed for
language features that are years away from implementation? What are the
downsides to a working week in Hawaii?!
Back at an ACCU conference in Oxford, 2003, I noticed that the ISO committee
responsible for C++ was meeting at the same venue, the following week. As I
lived locally, this seemed like the perfect opportunity to see C++ being made,
live! I hastily wrote up a proposal based upon the simplest missing library
I could find (so that I had something to show-and-tell) and so began my journey
to C++11. This session will share observations, anecdotes, and insights from a
decade working on the C++ standard.
Roger: There may be several people interested in what the standards process itself is like
