This will be an authorized re-presentation of the talk "C++ 17 Features" by Bryce Lelbach (given at CppNow 2017) but updated and heavily remixed by our own Zach Laine.

From the original:

R"(
The feature set for the C++17 release is set, and the release of the standard is just around the corner. In this session, we'll discuss all the new C++ features in C++17 and how they'll change the way we write C++ software. We'll explore the new standard in breadth, not width, covering a cornucopia of core language and library features and fixes, including: * Major Language Changes: structured bindings, if constexpr, constexpr lambdas, inline variables, folding expressions, template , constructor template argument deduction, guaranteed copy elision, noexcept as part of the type system, if (init; cond) and switch (init; cond), nested namespace declarations, single-parameter static_assert, __has_include

• Major Library Changes: , , string_view, optional<>, variant<>, any, parallel algorithms, aligned new, shared_mutex, math special functions, invoke/apply/is_callable<>, _v variable templates for type traits, conjunction<>/disjunction<>/negation<>.

Zach Laine has been using C++ in industry for 14 years, focusing on data visualization, numeric computing, games, generic programming, and good library design. He finds the process of writing bio blurbs to be a little uncomfortable.

The talk will take place at Rackspace's Austin office, located on the East side of IH-35 right before Rundberg and after Henna Chevrolet (there is a sign for Rackspace which is visible from the highway). Feel free to park in the same lot as the big Rackspace flag.
