Hi everyone,
The C++ Standards Committee is meeting in Chicago next week. Their focus will
be on C++14, the upcoming version of the C++ standard, as well as some
Technical Specifications (specifications for features intended to be
standardized but not fully-baked enough to be standardized now) that are also
planned for publication in 2014. Presumably there will also be some discussion
of the following version of the standard, C++17.
I will attend this meeting as an observer. I intend to follow the progress of
the Concepts Lite proposal [1] which I'm particularly interested in, but I will
try to keep up with other goings-on as well (the committee splits up into
several sub-groups that meet in parallel over the course of the week).
I wanted to ask if there's anything anyone would like to know about the
upcoming standards that I could find out at the meeting - if so, please let me
know and I will do my best to find it out.
If anyone's interested in the C++ standardization process, you can find more
information here [2].
Thanks,
Botond

Fixing the "include hell" problem would be at the top of my list of
wants as someone who cares about the performance of a large scale build
system. I believe there was a C++ modules proposal on the standards
track at one point. Not sure what it's status is beyond being an
experimental feature in clang [1]. Of course, by the time all the major
compilers support this and we're in a position to make use of it, large
parts of m-c's C++ might be rewritten in Rust, so who knows.
