Grill the C++ Committee

Join a panel discussion featuring members of the C++ Standards Committee at ACCU 2018. Gain insights into the decision-making process, upcoming features, and potential changes for the next C++ standard. Explore common misconceptions, undecided aspects, and the committee's approach to undefined behavior. Participate in a Q&A session covering topics such as Parallel STL, networking, and the evolution of C++. Discover how committee work influences programming skills and learn about the challenges of language design, including unsigned overflow, implementation-defined behavior, and optimization considerations. Delve into discussions on pattern matching, ISO quality control, and the future direction of C++.
