Every implementation of the C++ Standard Library like one included to Embarcadero RAD Studio C++ compilers provides two ways for (pseudo-)random numbers generation: old-fashioned facilities from and modern facilities provided by .
Facilities from
There are two very simple functions provided by the C random library: std::srand() and std::rand(). The former seeds the pseudo-random number…
Learn C++ With 2020: The Year of Sanitizers? by Victor Ciura (CPPCon 2020) Video
December 13, 2020
For most C++ programmers who are looking to enhance your code, Clang-tidy is their trusted assistant. However, even though static analysis is excellent, there are still false positives as well. Now that AddressSanitizer is available for windows, this video analyzes how it…

In addition to Helpers for Generic C++ Code Iterating Over Sequences the C++17 Standard Library provides the following helpers for writing generic code:
#include // new helpers of C++17 are defined here
template
void foo(Container& c)
{
// Generic way to obtain:
auto data = std::data(c); // - data;
auto empty = std::empty(c); // - flag of emptiness;
auto size = std::size(c); // -…
The iterator library that is part of the C++ Standard Library provides the following helpers for writing generic code:
#include // helpers are defined here
template
void foo(Container& c)
{
// Generic way to obtain (constant) iterators
auto b = std::begin(c)…
Since C++11 there are elegant way to access each element of a containers (or, more generally, sequences) – so called range-for-statement. The syntaxes are follow:
template
void foo(Container& container)
{
for (auto element : container); // (1)
for (const auto…
Next up in the Rapid C++ Development series is a video about Object and Library Compatibilities. This video demonstrates how to integrate externally built object files with your C++ builder application. This is done by using the C++ builder IDE known as the RAD Studio and…
