Highlights of CppCon 2015
Oh my, how time flies by! One month ago, I had the pleasure to travel to Bellevue, Washington, to attend CppCon 2015. It was a blast, and as a C++ developer, easily the best conference I ever attended. Below, I try to summarize my personal highlights of the talks I attended live. Note however that there were up […]

How to use static analysis to improve performance
It’s usually said “only improve performance where a profiler tells you to“. I don’t completely agree. Take a big C++ library like Qt: can you profile all classes and all code paths ? It would take a couple of years to accomplish and analyse the results. It’s expensive: It usually only happens if the speed-up […]

Qt Input Method – Virtual Keyboard Implementing an out-of-process virtual keyboard for text input in Qt apps
In the last episode of this blog series we learned about the overall concepts of input methods in Qt, with a look behind the scenes to see how a key press event from the native windowing system travels through the Qt input stack until it appears on screen inside a QLineEdit. In that context, the input method […]
