Title: What the C++ Library Working Group did next
Proposer: alisdair_meredith
Type: Presentation
Duration: 90 minutes
Description:
The C++ Library grew significantly for the C++11 standard, embracing new
language features such as move-semantics and list-initialization, adding
basic support types like function and tuple, adding larger facilities such
as the regular expressions and extensible random number facility, and adopting
the new memory model and providing basic concurrency primitives such as atomic
operations, threads and locks, and a basic futures facility.
So what comes next?
The standard continues to evolve, and if anything the pace is accelerating
The ISO working group has initiated, at the time this is written, 10 distinct
study groups to investigate ways to move the language and library forward, and
there is interest in adding more! What will the next generation of C++ libraries look like, and what are the most active topics of interest for likely extensions?
As the current chair of the Library Working Group, Alisdair Meredith is
uniquely placed to talk about their recent accomplishments, current plans, and
future directions.
Roger: Yes - I suspect this will be more popular than Alisdair's thoughts on the standards process itself.
Ewan: YES. I've held off commenting on the C++11 proposals in general, hope to come back to look at them as a group, but also Roger is better placed to review them. But I definitely think this will get a lot of interest
