Hi everyone! The next meeting of the C++ Standards Committee (WG21) will be November 4-9 in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
This meeting will be focused on bug fixing and stabilization for C++20, which has achieved feature-complete status at the last meeting. The C++20 draft contains a number of significant new features, including Concepts, Modules, Coroutines, Ranges, and default comparisons (Contracts has slipped to C++23), so undoubtedly there will integration and stabilization work to be done. In parallel, the Evolution groups will start looking at C++23 material. A proposal for the committee's high-level direction for C++23 can be found here [1]; some significant items there include contracts, networking, reflection, and pattern matching. I'd also like to call particular attention to the web_view proposal that is the subject of another dev-platform thread [2]. 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, splitting my time between the Evolution Working Group Incubator (which I've been roped into chairing at this meeting), and the Evolution Working Group itself (on days when the Incubator isn't running), perhaps also visiting the Reflection Study Group if time permits. 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.
