Explore forward progress guarantees in C++ through this comprehensive conference talk by Olivier Giroux at CppNow 2023. Delve into the critical yet often overlooked topic of forward progress in C++ programming, understanding its significance for meaningful synchronization and its implicit role in library calls. Gain insights into the current state of C++ specifications regarding forward progress, areas lacking clarity, and potential improvements. Learn about the theory of progress, first principles, concurrent and parallel forward progress, amortization, tail effects, over-subscription, starvation problems, and Boost blocking. Benefit from Giroux's extensive experience as a GPU architect, ISO C++ committee member, and chair of concurrency and parallelism as he provides a thorough examination of this fundamental concept in C++ development.
