February C/C++ Meetup

Hello everyone,

UPDATE: There will be a live streaming at https://arista.zoom.us/j/493265168. Please join us if you can not meet us in Arista today.

Our next meetup will be sponsored by Arista Networks (https://www.arista.com/) in their Dublin office.

Our aim is to continue delivering high quality technical content, so get ready for another CPPDUG Monday evening, where we'll have the following talks:

1. "C++ Exception Handling - The gory details of an implementation" by Peter Edwards (45 min)

Abstract: Modern implementations of exception handling make the facility almost cost free for those times you don't actually end up throwing an exception. There's a big complexity cost to this, and a lot of work that happens when we step off the happy path. This presentation rolls up its sleeves and looks at what actually happens when you throw an std::exception() on modern Linux systems.

2. "The GStreamer Multimedia Framework" by Martin Vachovski (30 min)

This event will be as informal as possible and we'll have some pizza and drinks to help everyone enjoy the evening and socialise. Please feel free to interrupt the speakers if you have any questions.

Our meetups are open to everyone and we welcome and support diversity. Any form of harassment or discrimination will not be tolerated and we will investigate any reports of such activities and take any action required to prevent them from recurring. Our code of conduct is available here https://cppdug.github.io/codeofconduct and we encourage anyone to share any concerns with the organisers.
