Modules (C++20)

  • Aktuell: glorified c&p
  • Zukunft: Modules
    • Verhindern Macro leaks
    • Verhindern Namenskollissionen
    • Reihenfolge der Imports unwichtig
    • Wird nur einmal verarbeitet
    • Export ist explizit
    • Neue Möglichkeit Code zu strukturieren

Modules (C++20)

// chaostreff.cppm -> Module Interface File

namespace ChaosTreff {
auto getChaotischeViertelstunde() { 
    return "Neue C++ Features - von Gromit";
}
export auto printWelcome() {
    std::println("{}", getChaotischeViertelstunde);
}
} // namespace Chaostreff

Ranges, Algorithms (C++20)

  • Aktuell: iteratoren
  • Zukunft: Ranges
#include <vector>
#include <algorithm>
#include <fmt/ranges.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    std::vector<int> v{3,2,4,1};
    fmt::print("{}\n", v);
    
    std::sort(v.begin(), v.end());
    
    fmt::print("{}\n", v);
    return 0;
}

Ranges, Views & Filter

  • Aktuell: iteratoren
  • Zukunft: Ranges
std::vector<int> v{6, 3, 2, 4, 1};
auto result{ data 
    // [6, 2, 4]
    | views::filter([](const auto& a){ return a % 2 == 0; })

Coroutines (C++20)

  • Funktion, die eines der folgenden Keywords enthält:
    • co_await: schlafen, warte auf andere Berechnung
    • co_yield: gebe Wert zurück & schlafen, dann weiter
    • co_return: return aus der Coroutine
  • Warum co_?
  • Usecases:
    • Generators
    • Async I/O
    • Event-driven Kram
    • Lazy Computations

Concepts (C++20)

  • Constraints für Template Parameter

Refresher: Templates


int add(int a, int b) {
    return a + b;
}

Refresher: Templates


int add(int a, int b) {
    return a + b;
}

float add(float a, float b) {
    return a + b;
}

Refresher: Templates


int add(int a, int b) {
    return a + b;
}

float add(float a, float b) {
    return a + b;
}

std::string add(const std::string& a,
                const std::string& b) {
    return a + b;
}

Refresher: Templates

template<typename T>
T add(const T& a, const T& b) {
    return a + b;
}

Concepts (C++20)

  • Constraints für Template Parameter 
template<typename T>
concept Addable = requires(T a, T b) { a + b; };

template<Addable T>
T add(const T& a, const T& b) {
    return a + b;
}

Concepts (C++20)

  • Constraints für Template Parameter 
template<typename T>
concept Addable = requires(T a, T b) { a + b; };

auto add(Addable const auto& a,
         Addable const auto& b) {
    return a + b;
}
  • z.B. schon vordefiniert:
    • derived_from
    • convertible_to
    • integral
    • sortable, mergeable, permutable

Spaceship Operator <=>

  • Offiziell: Three-Way-Comparison
  • So funktionierts: 
    • (a <=> b) < 0  // true if a < b
    • (a <=> b) > 0  // true if a > b
    • (a <=> b) == 0 // true if a == b
  • Common Usecase:
// compiler will generate functions
auto X::operator<=>(const Y&) const = default;
  • Advanced: Selber Schreiben
    • Custom implementation
    • return: strong_ordering, partial_ordering, weak_ordering

Spaceship Operator <=>


class Point {
    int x; int y;
public:
    friend bool operator==(const Point& a, const Point& b) { ... };
    friend bool operator< (const Point& a, const Point& b) { ... };
    friend bool operator!=(const Point& a, const Point& b) { ... };
    friend bool operator<=(const Point& a, const Point& b) { ... };
    friend bool operator> (const Point& a, const Point& b) { ... };
    friend bool operator>=(const Point& a, const Point& b) { ... };
    // other functions
};

Spaceship Operator <=>

#include <compare>
class Point {
    int x; int y;
public:
    auto operator<=>(const Point&) = default;
    // other functions
};

Text Formatting (C++20)

  • Aktuell: I/O Streams
    • Typesafe & extensible
    • Schwierig zu lesen, schwierig mit locales zu versehen
    • Scheiße langsam
  • Zukunft <format> bzw. <print> basierend auf "fmt"
#include <format>
#include <iostream>

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    std::cout << std::format("Read {0} bytes from {1}!\n",
                             256, "file.txt");
    return 0;
}

Text Formatting (C++23)

  • Aktuell: I/O Streams
    • Typesafe & extensible
    • Schwierig zu lesen, schwierig mit locales zu versehen
    • Scheiße langsam
  • Zukunft <format> bzw. <print> basierend auf "fmt"
#include <format>
#include <print>

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    std::println("Read {0} bytes from {1}!",
                 256, "file.txt");
    return 0;
}

Stacktraces (C++23)

#include <iostream>
#include <stacktrace>
 
int nested_func(int c)
{
    std::cout << std::stacktrace::current() << '\n';
    return c + 1;
}
 
int func(int b)
{
    return nested_func(b + 1);
}
 
int main()
{
    std::cout << func(777);
}

if consteval (...) (C++23)


// compile-time pow for uints
consteval std::uint64_t ipow_ct(std::uint64_t base,
                                std::uint8_t exp) {...}
 
constexpr std::uint64_t ipow(std::uint64_t base, std::uint8_t exp) {
    // use a compile-time friendly algorithm
    if consteval {
        return ipow_ct(base, exp);
    }
    // use runtime evaluation 
    else {
        return std::pow(base, exp);
    }
}
 
int main(int, const char* argv[]) {
    static_assert(ipow(0,10) == 0 && ipow(2,10) == 1024);
    std::cout << ipow(std::strlen(argv[0]), 3) << '\n';
}
