Hi everyone! The next meeting of the C++ Standards Committee will be June 20-25 in Oulu, Finland. (That's the week after our London All Hands.)
I've blogged in detail about the last meeting here [1]. That was a very important meeting, where key decisions were made both about C++17 (for example, it was decided that coroutines are not ready for C++17 and will be standardized initially in the form of a Technical Specification instead), and other work going on in parallel (for example, a high-level design for static reflection was chosen from among several candidates). This meeting will also be critical, as it's the last opportunity to make decisions about the content of C++17 at the feature level. The fate of some potentially controversial features such as "operator dot" will be decided. In the meantime, development will continue at full speed on Technical Specifications in progress, including coroutines and - most importantly, IMO - Modules. To get an idea of the topics that will be under discussion, see [2] and [3] for a list of new papers submitted to the committee since the last meeting. I will be attending this meeting, hanging out in the Evolution Working Group (where new language features are discussed at the design level) as usual. As always, if there's anything you'd like me to find out for you at the meeting, or any feedback you'd like me to communicate, please let me know! Finally, I encourage you to reach out to me if you're thinking of submitting a proposal to the committee. I'm always happy to help with formulating and, if necessary, presenting a proposal.
