Hi everyone! The next meeting of the C++ Standards Committee will be June 4-9 in Rapperswil, Switzerland.
This is going to be a pivotal meeting, with go / no-go decisions expected for several highly-anticipated C++20 features, including a subset of Modules; Coroutines; Ranges; and "natural syntax" Concepts / abbreviated function templates. A discussion of whether or not to continue efforts to standardize 2D Graphics is also scheduled (see arguments for [1] and against [2]). In addition, work will continue on various Technical Specifications that are in flight (including, notably, Reflection), and processing the large influx of new language and library feature proposals. If you're curious about the state of C++ standardization, I encourage you to check out my blog posts where I summarize each meeting in detail (most recent one here [3]), and the list of proposals being considered by the committee (new ones since the last meeting can be found here [4] and here [5]). 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.
