Mountain View: C++17 Features

The feature set for the C++17 release is set; it will be finalized in late June 2016 at the C++ Committee meeting in Oulu, Finland. Fresh from that meeting, Bryce will discuss the new C++ features in C++17 and how they'll change the way we write C++ software. We'll also talk progress on C++ technical specifications and other future C++ features that were discussed at the Oulu meeting.

Bryce Adelstein Lelbach is a researcher at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), a US Department of Energy research facility. Working alongside a team of hardware engineers, mathematicians and physicists, he develops and analyzes new parallel programming models for exascale and post-Moore architectures. Bryce is one of the developers of the HPX C++ runtime system; he spent five years working on HPX while he was at Louisiana State University's Center for Computation and Technology. He also helped start the LLVMLinux initiative, and has occasionally contributed to the Boost C++ libraries. Bryce is an organizer for C++Now and CppCon conferences as well as various Bay Area C++ user groups, and he is passionate about C++ community development. He serves as LBNL's representative to the C++ standards committee.
