C9::GoingNative (HD) - Channel 9

Steve Carroll and Gabriel Dos Reis chat with Bjarne Stroustrup, the inventor of C++, about his keynote this year at cppcon 2016. Bjarne talks about the past, present, and future of C++, and how to be a good programmer.

Welcome to GoingNative #52! This episode covers the recent ISO C++ Standards Meeting in Oulu, Finland. Gabriel Dos Reis and Casey Carter join Steve Carroll in discussing the progress that was made, including some of the cool new features confirmed for C++17. You can follow recent news on Standard C++ on the ISO CPP website. Read Herb Sutter's trip report to learn more about what happened at Oulu. The post-Oulu mailing of new standards papers is now available. If you want to try ranges, you can try Eric Niebler's implementation or Casey's implementation with concepts (requires gcc).

Today's episode covers our Visual Studio C++ for Linux Development extension! If you're building applications for Linux and want to keep your familiar Visual Studio environment, you can now do so a lot more easily. Featured in this episode are Marc Goodner (Senior Program Manager) and Ion Todirel (Senior Software Engineer), who have been working on this extension. In the video, Marc and Ion go over some recent updates to the extension as well as some feedback they've received from users. Check out Marc's recent blog post to learn more about the recent updates! If you have feedback or bugs to report on the extension, please log them as issues on the VSLinux Github project or contact [email protected]. Follow Marc on Twitter @robotdad. NOTE: This segment was recorded before the Summer ISO C++ Standards Meeting in Oulu, Finland. The next GoingNative episode will cover that meeting.

Happy 50th episode! This episode covers our new, more advanced code optimizer for the Visual C++ compiler back-end. It provides many improvements for both code size and performance, bringing the optimizer to a new standard of quality expected from a modern native compiler. This is the first public release and we are encouraging people to try it and provide suggestions and feedback about potential bugs. The official release of the new optimizer is expected to be Visual Studio Update 3, while the release available today is unsupported and mostly for testing purposes. Read our blog post to get the details!

Today's episode is jam-packed with people and features from the Visual Studio family of products!
