- Aleksander Fabijanic talked about Dynamic C++, with reference to rival approaches to representing dynamic types: boost::any, boost::variant, boost::type_erasure, Facebook folly::dynamic and poco::dynamic::var.
- Stig Sandres presented a way to use boost::coroutines and std::future to emulate “await” from N3564. This follows on from N3558, which includes the ability to add “.then(…)” to a std::future.
- I hadn’t heard of reference-qualifiers, which C++11 allows you to put on a method declaration to restrict its use to either l-value or r-value references. See this post on Stack Overflow. In particular, there was a proposal to restrict standard library assignment operators to l-values (since it makes no sense to assign to an r-value reference).
- Russell Winder used std::iota from the standard <numeric> library in an example to populate a container with sequentially increasing values
std::vector<int> elements(10);
std::iota( elements.begin(), elements.end(), 0 );
std::for_each( elements.begin(), elements.end(),
[] (int i){ std::cout << i; }); // prints 0123456789
