Where do you keep track of the development of new C ++ standards?

Question

Where are you guys generally looking for developments in C ++, and most importantly, developments in the new standard and its data on approximate / planned releases? also boosted (well, boost.com)

Is there a centralized location?

thanks

Answer 1

C ++ has recently been updated. I would recommend a wikipedia article in C ++. It is usually updated (not much has changed). I think that the closest to the specification I found is the Bjarne Stroustrup book (creator of the C ++ language), and also, the C ++ language.

Answer 2

You go to the C ++ Standard Committee website:

Home: http://www.open-std.org/JTC1/SC22/WG21/

And for quick access to any published articles:

Answer 3

In the past, I used a C ++ 0x wiki entry and, to a lesser extent, a link to Informit C ++. I recently came across a new blog that people might want to check out. It looks like this was started by several committee members:

We started this site because the community as a whole seems especially hungry - right now - to learn more about what is happening at the forefront of C ++ and to be more involved in it. We are going to write articles in C ++ 0x and advanced C ++ 03. ... Thank you for visiting C ++. Next, Dave Abrahams and Doug Gregor

Answer 4

Many insiders in the standard questions working group discuss and publish in comp.std.c ++ , so I assume this will qualify.

Another good place is the Herb Sutter homepage and blog .

Answer 5

Looking through my own answers, I just found this old question and realized that although all the other answers (including my own) are still relevant, now there is another important site that has been added to the list:

http://isocpp.org/

This is done by the committee itself and regularly updates the status of C ++. And, recursively, also points to a random StackOverflow entry.

They also usually tweet from @isocpp when an article is published or updated, or about other issues in C ++, such as videos from a recent C ++ conference.

Answer 6

Since I am hiding in the Boost Developers mailing list, I usually get information about interesting new developments in the standard. As a rule, some kind of announcement is announced by people who are both in the Boost and in the committee, and this usually encourages me to look at the documents in the committee, and also provides a very interesting informed discussion.
