Every time I work with a C library, I miss the power and capability of the type system C++ provides. That’s why I developed a simple C++17 header-only helper library to pack the multiple type-dependent C-style functions into single overload deduced at compile-time. No external libraries are required. Repo link: https://github.com/MKlimenko/plusifier. Currently, it’s just the header and a compile-time test file, CMake integration coming soon.

TL;DR; I’ve made a (yet another) simple repo and a table on its’ wiki to estimate the build penalty when including boost headers.

TL;DR: There’s an excellent new GNSS dataset which would allow you to become a better engineer: link. Beware, it would take some time to download it.

• Introduction
• Benchmarking first
• Creating a library
• Delayed library loading
• Generating multiple libraries
• Detecting the processor architecture at runtime
• Using the library

In 2016, before moving to GitHub pages as a hosting platform for this blog, I wrote a little post about CI and automated builds for C++ projects as a synopsis for the week I spent at work with this task. Currently, we’re modernizing the technological stack for one of our paramount product (neural network middleware for the NeuroMatrix processors called NMDL) and one of the tasks is to configure and maintain the continuous integration system. The modernizing process also involved integration and renovation of tools, projects, architecture VCS and various “best practices”, I hope I’ll compile it as a talk at some C++ conference.
