Pure Virtual C++ is Micorosft's free, one-day, virtual conference for the whole C++ community. This year, it is running on April 30th.
Here are details of the five live sessions, each lasting around half and hour.
Welcome to v1.0 of the meta::[[verse]]! with Inbal Levi This talk will introduce what is (likely) the final version of the "Reflection" feature targeting C++26. With a proposal slated to introduce reflection to C++26 (including the “std::meta” namespace) slated to be voted into the standard in June 2025, we can already start imagining a whole new world of possibilities. In this session, we will dive into reflection and its transformative potential within our codebases. We will start with an introduction of utilities from the reflection proposal. Then, we delve into practical applications and the power it holds. Last, we will look at impact on our codebases, and the way "Reflection" will impact how we code.
Proxy: Next Generation Polymorphism with Mingxin Wang Modern C++ demands a rethinking of polymorphism that moves beyond the constraints of classical inheritance while preserving performance and safety. This talk will introduce Proxy — an open-source header-only C++20 library for non-intrusive polymorphism that leverages pointer-based lifetime management to offer a GC-like capability without incurring the overhead of a garbage collector.
Making unfamiliar C++ code familiar with GitHub Copilot with Sinem Akinci C++ development often presents challenges, requiring developers to manage multiple tasks and different levels of information simultaneously. In this new age, AI can be leveraged to assist with gritty programming tasks, allowing developers to focus on the important work. This talk will showcase how GitHub Copilot is smarter than ever and can help you get ramped up to contribute in unfamiliar code.
C++ Modules Myth Busting with Cameron DaCamara C++ development often presents challenges, requiring developers to manage multiple tasks and different levels of information simultaneously. In this new age, AI can be leveraged to assist with gritty programming tasks, allowing developers to focus on the important work.
constexpr everything?! with Hana Dusikova Is there a difference between C++ and constexpr C++? Why? I just need to deliver an application to my users, not evaluate it in my compiler. Let's talk about reasons why things should be and shouldn't be constant evaluated. To properly understand it, we should also look back at how we got here.
Videos posted on YouTube are intended to help C++ devs make the most of these sessions.
This one covers progress made on C++ 23 conformance since the last Pure Virtual C++ conference and includes language features supported by the compiler and also standard library features now the compiler and the STL are developed in parallel.
It could just be that Apple has made a big mistake and the longed for, or dreaded, dissolution of the App Store is upon us at last. Of course, Apple is appealing, but things don't look good for its po [ ... ]
GitHub has announced measures making it easier to protect yourself from exposed secrets. They include a standalone version of Secret Protection and organization-wide scanning.
