New standards to the rescue: the view through an IDE's glasses

Details

We have two mid-September talks in the weeks
leading up to cppcon 2017. The 2nd is by
Anastasia Kazakova:

As a C and C++ software developer, Anastasia
Kazakova created real-time *nix-based systems
and pushed them to production for 8 years. She
has a passion for networking algorithms and
embedded programming and believes in good
tooling. With all her love for C++, she is now
the Product Marketing Manager on the JetBrains
CLion team. Besides, Anastasia runs a C++ user
group in Saint-Petersburg, Russia
and has spoken, or will speak, this year at
ACCU, C++Now, CppCon, ADC/JUCE and Meeting
C++. You can also find two episodes recorded for
CppCast with Anastasia as a guest (Mar 25th, 2015:
http://cppcast.com/2015/03/anastasia-kazakova/,
and Jun 1st, 2016:
http://cppcast.com/2016/06/anastasia-kazakova/).
Here is a synopsis of Anastasia's talk, in her
own words:
"We often talk about how new language features
can help developers to write more accurate and
concise code. There is another type of
discussion to be had on how tools help leverage
language issues and support developers. How
about quite a third perspective? Which is about
how language can help tools to do better.
"As C++ tools vendors, we use to share our
experience with C++ language trickiness and
peculiarities, including preprocessor and
non-trivial parsing. It's time now to talk about
the view on the upcoming language changes
through the IDE's glasses.
"In this talk I'll identify the most important
issues with the language from the IDE's
perspective and will show how new language
standards, as well as other initiatives like C++
Core Guidelines, are helpful and beneficial to
the IDEs. I'll cover a variety of features from
if constexpr to Concepts and Modules, as well as
std2 and some other initiatives that are no more
than proposals at this point. Come see the
language from our perspective."
We apologize to members of the Chicago C/C++
Users' Group for whom this event conflicts with
Rosh HaShana, but this was the only weeknight
when Anastasia was available.
