(formerly BoostCon) is pleased to announce its lineup of keynote speakers for the 2012 conference: Howard Hinnant, Sean Parent, and Daveed Vandevoorde. Howard Hinnant is the principal author of libc++, the standard C++ library implementation used by the Clang compiler. During the development of C++11, Howard served as chairman of the C++ Standards Committee¹s Library Working Group, and is largely responsible for the design of what Scott Meyers has called the language¹s ³flagship new feature:² rvalue references. His keynote will demonstrate how rvalue references are used in move semantics and perfect forwarding. Sean Parent is a principal scientist and software architect for Adobe¹s mobile digital imaging group and formerly managed Adobe¹s Software Technology Lab. He was also the keynote speaker for the very first BoostCon, where he gave one of the most inspiring and memorable talks we¹ve ever had. We¹re very pleased to welcome him back for an encore. He will be speaking on what¹s next for C++ programmers: how do we write beautiful code that truly exploits today¹s hardware and infrastructure? Daveed Vandevoorde is a compiler developer with Edison Design Group, the author (with Nicolai Josuttis) of ³C++ Templates: The Complete Guide,² a co-founder of comp.lang.c++.moderated, and one of the few C++ Committee Members who is equally comfortable working on library design, language evolution, or the arcana of core language issues. Daveed is currently a leader in the effort to add true modules to the C++ language. He¹ll be talking about the design of the C++ modules feature and what it would mean for the future of the language. ³We are thrilled to have such a powerhouse lineup in the first year of the new language standard,² said Dave Abrahams the conference founder and co-chair. ³C++Now! 2012 is truly shaping up to be a feast for the C++ enthusiast.² C++ Now! 2012 will be held May 13-18 in Aspen Colorado.

Generic programs often embody non-traditional kinds of polymorphism; ordinary programs are obtained from them by suitably instantiating their parameters. In contrast with normal programs, the parameters of a generic program are often quite rich in structure; for example they may be other programs, types or type constructors, class hierarchies, or even programming paradigms. Generic programming techniques have always been of interest, both to practitioners and to theoreticians, and, for at least 20 years, generic programming techniques have been a specific focus of research in the functional and object-oriented programming communities. Generic programming has gradually spread to more and more mainstream languages, and today is widely used in industry. This workshop brings together leading researchers and practitioners in generic programming from around the world, and features papers capturing the state of the art in this important area. We welcome contributions on all aspects, theoretical as well as practical, of * generic programming, * programming with (C++) concepts, * meta-programming, * programming with type classes, * programming with modules, * programming with dependent types, * type systems for generic programming, * polytypic programming, * adaptive object-oriented programming, * component-based programming, * strategic programming, * aspect-oriented programming, * family polymorphism, * object-oriented generic programming, * implementation of generic programming languages, * static and dynamic analyses of generic programs, * and so on.

CONFERENCE 2012 Aspen CO, USA, May 14-18, 2012, www.cppnow.org CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS We invite you to submit session proposals to the Inaugural C++ Now! Conference: C++Now! 2012 (Aspen CO, USA, May 14 - 18, 2012). Based on the successful traditions of 5 years of BoostCon, which was the main face-to-face event for all things C++ and Boost (www.boost.org), C++Now! 2012 will present leading speakers from the whole C++ community. The conference name is changing to C++ Now! to reflect the current value of the language, the focus on its new state (from the new Standard), and the need to continually look to the future so the language remains useful to the C++ community. The focus of this conference will be the new C++11 language Standard and as usual Boost: what's new in C++, its Standard library, and in the Boost libraries, how to write and maintain them, how to evangelize or to deploy Boost within your organization. The new C++ Standard, but also the infrastructure and process of Boost, its vision and mission - no matter what you are interested in, it all comes together in the C++Now! sessions. Meet the colleagues, and feel the inspiration to support your work with C++ and Boost for the next year. The C++ Now! Conference is dedicated to discussion and education about C++, an open and free language and standard. Our Conference will focus on discussion and education about open source software usage and developments in the C++ developer and user community. To reflect the breadth of the C++ and Boost communities, the conference includes sessions aimed at three constituencies: C++ and Boost end-users, hard-core Boost library and tool developers, and researchers pushing the boundaries of computation. The program fosters interaction and engagement within and across those groups, with an emphasis on hands-on, participatory sessions. As a multi-paradigm language, C++ is a melting pot where the most compelling ideas from other programming communities are blended in powerful ways. Historically, some of the most popular sessions at C++Now! have highlighted these concepts, from DSLs to functional programming to transactional memory and more. Bring your C#, Python, Ruby or Haskell influences to bear in an environment that will broaden their exposure. IMPORTANT DATES New proposal submissions due: January 10th, 2012. Proposals decisions sent (tentative program available): February 17th, 2012. Fully scheduled program available: February 25th, 2012. Session materials due: April 15th, 2012. BEST PRESENTATION AWARDS We know how much effort it takes to prepare talks for our conference. For this reason we will award the best presentations in the following categories: Best Presentation, Best Short Presentation, Best Tutorial, and Best Workshop. The awards will be given based on the audience's voting. Each award will include the author's name listed on the cover of the C++Now! website for that year and a plaque containing all the C++Now! conference information. SESSION TOPICS Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to, the following: * C++11 and how it changes life for users and library writers * General tutorial sessions on C++11, the C++11 Standardslibrary, and one or more Boost libraries * In-depth sessions on using specific Boost libraries * Case studies on using Boost * Experts panels * Advanced sessions on implementation techniques used within Boost libraries * Development workshops to extend or enhance existing Boost libraries * Workshops on design process * Infrastructure workshops such as Build tools, Website, Testing * Concepts and Generic Programming * Hardware and infrastructure presentations focused on how libraries can make better use of the technology * Software development tools and their application to C++ and or Boost * Other topics likely to be of great interest to Boost users and developers Interactive and collaborative sessions are encouraged, as this is the style of learning and participation that has proven most successful at such events. Sessions can be tutorial based, with an emphasis on interaction and participant involvement, or workshop based, whether hands-on programming or paper-based, discussion-driven collaborative work. SESSION FORMATS Presentations Presentations focus on a practitioner's ideas and experience with anything relevant to C++11, Boost and users. Panels Panels feature three or four people presenting their ideas and experiences relating to C++11 and Boost's relevant, controversial, emerging, or unresolved issues. Panels may be conducted in several ways, such as comparative, analytic, or historic. Tutorials Tutorials are sessions at which instructors teach conference participants specific skills relevant to C++11 and Boost. Workshops Workshops provide an active arena for advancements in Boost-relevant topics. Workshops provide the opportunity for experienced practitioners to develop new ideas about a topic of common interest and experience. Author's Corner These were introduced at BoostCon 2008, and were a great Presentations success They are short (30 minute) sessions, focusing on tips on usage and design. In addition, we're looking to uncover the hidden design gems in Boost libraries. Tool Vendors We actively encourage tool vendors and ISP's to submit Presentations proposals for a special Tool Vendors Session Track aimed at products related to Boost and C++ (compilers, libraries, tools, etc.).

ODB is an open-source object-relational mapping (ORM) system for C++. It allows you to persist C++ objects to a relational database without having to deal with tables, columns, or SQL and without manually writing any of the mapping code. The major new feature in this release is the introduction of the view concept. A view is a light-weight, read-only projection of one or more persistent objects or database tables or the result of a native SQL query execution. Views can be used to load a subset of data members from objects or columns from database tables, execute and handle results of arbitrary SQL queries, including aggregate queries, as well as join multiple objects and/or database tables using object relationships or custom join conditions. For example, given this persistent class: #pragma db object class person { ... #pragma db id auto unsigned long id_; std::string first_, last_; unsigned short age_; }; We can define a view that returns the number of people stored in the database: #pragma db view object(person) struct person_count { #pragma db column("count(" + person::id_ + ")") std::size_t count; }; And then use this view to find out how many people are younger than 30: typedef odb::query&lt;person_count&gt; query; typedef odb::result&lt;person_count&gt; result; result r (db.query&lt;person_count&gt; (query::age &lt; 30)); cout &lt;&lt; r.begin ()-&gt;count &lt;&lt; endl; Other important new features in this release are: * Support for the NULL semantics and the odb::nullable container. * Support for the boost::optional container (mapped to columns with NULL values). * Support for deleting persistent objects using query expressions. * Support for storing BLOB data as std::vector&lt;char&gt;. A more detailed discussion of these features can be found in the following blog post: http://www.codesynthesis.com/~boris/blog/2011/10/04/odb-1-6-0-released/ For the complete list of new features in this version see the official release announcement: http://www.codesynthesis.com/pipermail/odb-announcements/2011/000007.html ODB is written in portable C++ and you should be able to use it with any modern C++ compiler.

Generic programs often embody non-traditional kinds of polymorphism; ordinary programs are obtained from them by suitably instantiating their parameters. In contrast with normal programs, the parameters of a generic program are often quite rich in structure; for example they may be other programs, types or type constructors, class hierarchies, or even programming paradigms. Generic programming techniques have always been of interest, both to practitioners and to theoreticians, and, for at least 20 years, generic programming techniques have been a specific focus of research in the functional and object-oriented programming communities. Generic programming has gradually spread to more and more mainstream languages, and today is widely used in industry. This workshop brings together leading researchers and practitioners in generic programming from around the world, and features papers capturing the state of the art in this important area. We welcome contributions on all aspects, theoretical as well as practical, of * generic programming, * programming with (C++) concepts, * meta-programming, * programming with type classes, * programming with modules, * programming with dependent types, * polytypic programming, * adaptive object-oriented programming, * component-based programming, * strategic programming, * aspect-oriented programming, * family polymorphism, * object-oriented generic programming, * and so on.

Key technologies for automating program development are Generative Programming for program synthesis, Component Engineering for modularity, and Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs) for compact problem-oriented programming notations. The International Conference on Generative Programming and Component Engineering is a venue for researchers and practitioners interested in techniques that use program generation and component deployment to increase programmer productivity, improve software quality, and shorten the time-to-market of software products. In addition to exploring cutting-edge techniques of generative and component-based software, our goal is to foster further cross-fertilization between the software engineering and the programming languages research communities. SUBMISSIONS Research papers: 10 pages in SIGPLAN proceedings style (sigplanconf.cls, see http://www.sigplan.org/authorInformation.htm) reporting original and unpublished results of theoretical, empirical, conceptual, or experimental research that contribute to scientific knowledge in the areas listed below (the PC chair can advise on appropriateness). Tool demonstrations: Tool demonstrations should present tools that implement generative and component-based software engineering techniques, and are available for use. Any of the GPCE'11 topics of interest are appropriate areas for tool demonstrations. Purely commercial tool demonstrations will not be accepted. Submissions should contain a tool description of up to 6 pages in SIGPLAN proceedings style (sigplanconf.cls) and a demonstration outline of up to 2 pages text plus 2 pages screen shots. The six page description will, if the demonstration is accepted, be published in the proceedings. The 2+2 page demonstration outline will only be used by the PC for evaluating the submission. Workshops and tech talks: Workshops are organized by SPLASH - see the SPLASH website for details (http://splashcon.org).

Zalewski </pre> Jaakko Järvi 2011-02-22T02:27:15 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.interest/88 <pre>Hi, I'd like to announce a newly-GPL'd build system for C++ that eliminates the need to maintain build scripts. Cake differs from CMake, scons, Boost.Build and others, in that there is no Makefile, Sconstruct, Jamfile, Bakefile etc. Cake spiders out from the file containing the main function, using gcc's dependency detection and a few well-defined naming conventions to find the minimal set of cpp and hpp files needed to produce an executable. Developers annotate their headers and sources with special comments to indicate link and compile flags. Internally, like CMake, cake uses make to perform builds. After a few comment annotations are added to some header files for linked libraries, most projects can be interactively developed with a build process approaching the convenience of dynamic languages: cake myapp.cpp &amp;&amp; ./bin/myapp All dependency discovery is performed lazily, making its performance roughly equal to CMake, with very fast incremental rebuilds.

ODB is an open-source, compiler-based object-relational mapping (ORM) system for C++. It allows you to persist C++ objects to a relational database without having to deal with tables, columns, or SQL and without manually writing any mapping code. For example: #pragma db object class person { ... private: friend class odb::access; person (); #pragma db id auto unsigned long id_; string first_; string last_; unsigned short age_; }; ODB is not a framework. It does not dictate how you should write your application. Rather, it is designed to fit into your style and architecture by only handling C++ object persistence and not interfering with any other functionality. As you can see, existing classes can be made persistent with only a few modifications. Given the above class, we can perform various database operations with its objects: person john ("John", "Doe", 31); person jane ("Jane", "Doe", 29); transaction t (db.begin ()); db.persist (john); db.persist (jane); result r (db.query&lt;person&gt; (query::last == "Doe" &amp;&amp; query::age &lt; 30)); copy (r.begin (), r.end (), ostream_iterator&lt;person&gt; (cout, "\n")); jane.age (jane.age () + 1); db.update (jane); t.commit (); The C++ code that performs the conversion between persistent classes and their database representation is automatically generated by the ODB compiler. The ODB compiler is a real C++ compiler except that it produces C++ instead of assembly or machine code. In particular, it is not an ad-hoc header pre-processor that is only capable of recognizing a subset of C++. ODB is capable of handling any standard C++ code. The ODB compiler uses the GCC compiler frontend for C++ parsing and is implemented using the new GCC plugin architecture. While ODB uses GCC internally, its output is standard C++ which means that you can use any C++ compiler to build your application. ODB is written in portable C++ and you should be able to use it with any modern C++ compiler. In particular, we have tested this release on GNU/Linux (x86/x86-64), Windows (x86/x86-64), Mac OS X, and Solaris (x86/x86-64/SPARC) with GNU g++ 4.2.x-4.5.x, MS Visual C++ 2008 and 2010, and Sun Studio 12. The dependency-free ODB compiler binaries are available for all of the above platforms. The initial release supports MySQL as the underlying database. Support for other database systems is in the works. More information, documentation, source code, and pre-compiled binaries are available from: http://www.codesynthesis.com/products/odb/ Enjoy, Boris </pre> Boris Kolpackov 2010-09-29T15:26:40 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.interest/83 <pre>====================================================================== CALL FOR PARTICIPATION WGP 2010 6th ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on Generic Programming Baltimore, Maryland, US Sunday, September 26th, 2010 http://osl.iu.edu/wgp2010 Collocated with the International Conference on Functional Programming (ICFP 2010) ====================================================================== Goals of the workshop --------------------- Generic programming is about making programs more adaptable by making them more general.
