Safer Structs with C++20

It's hard to believe it has been so long since the last meetup but we're planning to get back into a better schedule now that the summer has passed. We'll start with a get together to look at how some of the new features in C++17 and C++20 allow us to use structs more safely. Some because of new language features, others by adopting patterns based on those features to allow more robust and maintainable code.

Most of us make use of struct-like objects in our code to map message structures and so both new and existing code can benefit from the approaches talked about in this session.

For the location we’ll be in one of venYou’s office spaces at Ascot House on Shaftesbury Square so many thanks to them for supporting us. [Clearpool.io](https://clearpool.io/) will be sponsoring the food and drinks, and doing the organisation on the night. Most of you will know them from the ACCU Autumn conference in 2019 and previous meetups.

As usual the agenda will be something like this:

• Arrive, eat, drink — catch up with old friends and make some new ones
• Welcome and introduction
• Possibly a short talk or Standards catchup (time permitting)
• The main event: “Safer Structs with C++20” by myself

Looking forward to seeing old faces and meeting some new ones!
