The Practical Programmer’s Guide to C++20

If you’re a C++ programmer, you probably know that the C++20 standard has been released and is supported by the most popular compilers like GCC, Clang, MSVC, and Apple Clang. We’re excited by this because it provides some of the most revolutionary changes to the language since the ground-breaking C++11 release. C++20 provides C++ with even more power and expressiveness and levels the playing field between this veteran workhorse language and newer upstarts.

While an all-Rust approach works for some systems, most companies have extensive existing C and C++ code. Rust's design, rooted in Mozilla Firefox's development, has always aimed to integrate with these languages. By consulting Rust experts, we've developed guidelines for harmoniously blending Rust with C and C++ in various scenarios.

C++ - How it Got Here, Where it's Going

The C++ programming language is used for operating systems, web browsers, games, embedded software, autonomous cars, medical technology, and many other applications. In 2020, major companies such as Facebook, Google, Amazon, and many others relied on C++ to run their data centers, and likely they still do. Since its inception over four decades ago, C++ has expanded many times with performance, efficiency, and flexibility of use as its main design highlights. When C++20 became generally available in December 2020, we talked to a panel of C++ experts, evangelists, and devotees from both sides of the pond to understand a little more about C++ – its current position in the development community, its history, and its future. Much of what we learnt then is still relevant today.

New releases of the C++ language maintain incredibly strong backwards compatibility, making it easy to keep older C++ code working properly as standards march forward. C++ version from C++11 to C++23 have transformed the C++ language making it as programmer-friendly as more recent languages but with many essential benefits that continue to make it the best choice for the most demanding software-engineering projects. Modernizing your C++ may be the best way to both improve your team’s efficiency as well as future-proof your software investment. KDAB has broad, deep experience delivering cost-effective, long-term, pragmatic solutions that modernize existing C++ codebases without losing functionality during the process.
