[build] targeting different versions of libstdc++
by James E. King III 16 Nov '18

16 Nov '18

If I make a system with libstdc++6-dev, libstdc++7-dev, and libstdc++8-dev on it, is there a way to tell clang to use one over the other? By default it will use the latest one. I know that for linking one can use the clang flag "--gcc-toolchain=/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/7" to get the link to point at it, but I'm not sure if this also handles the header paths or not. If this option works for both header inclusion and for linking, would I need to specify it as <cxxflags> and also as <linkflags>? Thanks, Jim

Announcing LEAF, a new error handling library suitable for low latency applications
by Emil Dotchevski 15 Nov '18

15 Nov '18

LEAF (Low-latency Error Augmentation Framework) is a new error handling library which could possibly become the successor of Boost Exception, though LEAF can be used without exceptions too. Official documentation: https://zajo.github.io/leaf/ Features: - No dynamic memory allocations. - Associate objects of arbitrary types with any failure -- when it is initially reported or at a later time. - Compatible with std::error_code, errno and any other error handling API. - Use with or without exception handling. - Support for multi-thread programming.
