Bjarne Stroustrup Announces the C++ Core Guidelines

alphabetsoup writes: At CppCon this year, Bjarne Stroustrup announced the C++ Core Guidelines. The guidelines are designed to help programmers write safe-by-default C++ with no run-time overhead. Compilers will statically check the code to ensure no violations. A library is available now, with a static checking tool to follow in October.

Here is the video of the talk, and here are the slides.The guidelines themselves are here.

    Everything in C++ is now deprecated except the word "safe". So you should really be using safesafe::safe_safe_safe in such situations. And in all other situations. When in doubt, just keep typing "safe" until it's safe.
