《CTO必修课》 C++17: We have a new language. What does it mean to me? Michael Spertus C++17: We do have a new language • A standard was agreed upon by the committee and unanimously approved by all nations participating in the C++ standards process • Your compiler probably supports most of it now, so you can start using it right away • This is much faster than for previous language standards • Clang status: /cxx_status.html • G++ status: /projects/cxx-status.html • For some reason, this page calls it C++1z instead of C++17 • Visual Studio status: /vcblog/2017/05/10/c17-features-in-vs-2017-3/ OK. We have a new language. Do I Care? • C++17 is the latest version of C++, but many people think it’s not really much of a change • In fact, Mike Wong’s keynote tomorrow is “C++17 was not that great” • With all due respect to Mike (and I look forward to his talk), maybe there is another way to look at it What makes something great? • Does adding the most features at the fastest rate make something great? • Maybe not. Some people think C++ is too complicated already • The important thing is to have the most capability made accessible through elegance of design • A ming vase beats something complex and gimmicky any day C++17 is about making C++ more powerful and cleaner at the same time • Not a lot of highly-profile features adding power but more features to learn • But bringing C++ closer to being a clean and elegant language where programming is natural • In fact, I want to convince you that C++17 is quietly a lot cleaner and more powerful than any preceding C++ standard • This is great gain for you today and builds a strong vision that will cleanly align with the “major language” features that have already been voted into the C++17 working paper • In my template talk tomorrow, I will explain how C++17 template features not only help you know but help prepare your code for easier trans
