Three Optimization Tips for C++ GitHub - ericniebler/range-v3: Experimental range library for C++11/14/17. Easy C++ benchmarking - Nick Bruun. For a long time, hardware was the biggest restriction we faced when trying to squeeze performance out of our software, especially when writing I/O bound software such as server applications.
If we go back ten years, such applications would by far spend most of its time waiting for sockets or disks to become ready for work, especially when bound by 10 Mbit/s uplinks and 5,400 RPM disks. The result? We could be lazy. There was so little to be gained from optimizing the rest of the application code, unless it was really compute intensive, that it really wasn't worth it. Times have changed though. A first world problem I've spent a lot of the last half year working on/off on a piece of software, where this is definitely true. Performance of what is essentially just an HTTP server is relatively easy to test as a whole. After a few hours of working like this, I finally decided to draw some inspiration from the testing guys. A solution -- or close enough Give it a go. Cplusplus_Today. Catch 1.0 - level of indirection - level of indirection. Since Catch first went public, two and a half years ago, at time of this writing, I've made a point of describing it as a "developer preview".
Think of it as you might a Google beta and you won't go far wrong. I did this because I knew that there was a lot that needed doing - and in particular that some of the public interfaces would be subject to change. While I have tried to mitigate exposure to this as much as possible (as we'll see) I had wanted to reach a point that I could say things have stabilised and I'm happy to call it a true 1.0 release. That time has come. As of today the version of Catch available on the Master branch on GitHub is 1.0 and I would encourage you to update to it if you're already using an older version. What's new? Output One of the biggest changes is in the console reporter's output. ClassTests.cpp:28: FAILED: REQUIRE( s == "world" ) with expansion: "hello" == "world" But there's a lot more to the new look.

Introduction This article is the first in a series about open multi-methods for C++11.
In this installment, I will explain what they are, how they fit in the object-oriented paradigm, and make controversial statements. Subsequent articles will present a new library that implements open multi-methods, using the facilities provided by C++11 (in particular, variadic templates). The library's salient features are: fast, constant time dispatch using compact tables; arbitrary number of virtual and non virtual arguments; access to the next most specific specialization; and support for shared libraries and dynamic loading. The series will conclude with an in-depth presentation of the internals of the library.
If you are impatient, you can grab the code from GitHub and read the documentation. C++ Concurrency in Action. C++ Concurrency in Action is a reference and guide to the new C++ 11 Standard for experienced C++ programmers as well as those who have never written multithreaded code.
