Talk: Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Template

Templates and metaprogramming considered as the big bad wolf of C++, and it’s time to stop being scared of this wolf, as it’s one of the most powerful creatures of C++. In this talk I’ve demonstrated the power of this incredible creature, while I hope that this talk would be an easy enterence to this concept (pan intended), and to help you developing the anticipation to walk into the cave of…

Hello 👋,

I hope this message finds you well. My name is Aziz, and I’m reaching out with a heartfelt plea to help my family find safety and reunite with our mother. 😞

The ongoing war in Gaza has torn my family apart. My mother and newborn sister are stranded in Egypt, while I, along with the rest of my sex family members, am trapped in the midst of the genocide in Gaza. We have not only been separated but have also lost our home and are enduring unimaginable hardships. 💔

Your support can make a difference. Whether by reading our story, donating, or sharing our campaign with others, you can help us reunite, find safety, and start anew. 🙏🕊

Thank you, from the depths of my heart, for your kindness, compassion, and solidarity during this difficult time. ❤🍉

Hi Aziz, I am sorry for the situation you are at right now, and I truly wish that things would be different and without the war between Gaza and Israel, which caused damage to both sides.

The terror attack of Hamas at 7.10, which involved terrible things that should not be done in any circumstances, and the hostages in Gaza right now is a terrible thing that happened, that lead both Gaza people like you and your family, and a lot of families in Israel to an unbelievable difficult situation, and I am truly sorry for you that you have to go through it right now.

I wish that one day the situation between the countries will be better for both countries.

If you have any way to help with the hostages situation in Gaza, I believe it'll help you to go back to a livable life.

Reverse Iterations

Learn all about reverse iteration in C++, including a simple pre-C++20 method: `for (auto elem : reverse_view(container))`. No ranges library needed! #cpp #ranges #iterators #programming #CppSenioreas #cplusplus

Sometimes, we all need a way to iterate over a container in the opposite direction. There are several ways to reverse-iterate a container, and in this article, we’ll explore them. Index Iteration Probably the simplest way, taken from C is to iterate using an index location: for (int64_t index = ssize(container); index >= 0; --index) { // do something with `container[index]` } This way is…

ADL - Avoid Debugging Later

We're diving into the dark magic of ADL in C++—a spell that summons hidden dependencies and lurking bugs. Join us as we uncover its secrets and learn how to avoid its traps! ✨🔍 #Cplusplus #Cpp #CleanCode #CodingTips #Programming #ADL #CppSenioreas

Back in the day, being a witch was considered a grave crime. Today, we’re diving into one of C++’s lesser-known spells: ADL (Argument-Dependent Lookup). But before we explore this arcane magic, you must heed a warning—black magic comes with consequences. ADL is particularly treacherous, often leading to frustrating and hard-to-debug issues. Whenever possible, it’s wise to avoid casting this spell…

It's just ',' - The Comma Operator

Is the comma operator in C++ a hidden gem or a lurking danger? In 'It's just ',' - The Comma Operator,' I explore its surprising dangers. Could using it lead to subtle, unnoticed errors? Let’s uncover the truth together! #cpp #cppsenioreas #cpp17 #cpp23

We all know that every ‘,’ matters in this language, so I decided to talk directly about that letter today. So, how much impact can be for such a small little character? The Comma Operator This operator comes from C, where it tells the compiler to evaluate all the expressions (left to right) and to return the result of the latest evaluated expression. For example: int a, b; a = 5, b = 4, b +=…

LConst PConst

const qualifier does not always work the way we expect it to. In this article we will see some cases when the const doesn't protect us from modifications at all.

The const keyword is widely used within almost every C++ program. It symbolizes the idea of a constant variable, object, function, and more, and is meant to forbid us from manipulating and changing the content of a memory location within a certain scope. However, as we learned before “There is nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact.” (Sherlock Holmes). Const Rules In this article, I won’t…

Into the Extreme - Fold-Expressions

Hi #cpp lovers!

template auto func(Args... args) { return (args || ... );

std::cout << func("str");

Does it compile? What will be the output?

Answers in the article :)

Fold expressions exist in C++ since C++17 and significantly affect how we treat variadic templates. Back in the day, I wrote about fold-expressions as part of the metaprogramming series, but today we will explore the extreme cases of fold-expression usages.

An important disclaimer before we start: In this article, code examples show variadic template usages with arguments passed by value,…

The View of The String

std::string_view can optimize both performance and code readability in code sections which handle strings. However it can also lead to UB and to memory issues if used incorrectly. #cpp #cppsenioreas #string_view #performance #readability #ub

Communication is a powerful tool of the humanity. It allows us to transfer ideas and thoughts from one to another. There are many ways of communications, and one of them is words. In order to communicate using words, we need the ability to understand each word in a sentence and to understand the way the words connect with each other. Words analysis today became a major topic in development, and a…
