The latest RAD Studio / C++ Builder 12 comes with a lot of new features, one of which is Skia graphics library support in C++. Skia is an open-source graphic library that provides to support a variety of hardware and software platforms. One of Skia’s amazing features is its support for the shader graphics SkSL Shading Language. That means you can use GPU Shaders with Skia in C++ Builder…
Solving C++ optimization problems are one of the areas of all quantitative disciplines from social science, economics to engineering fields such as computer science. Genetic Algorithm (GA) is a kind of machine learning process that is used to generate high-quality…
With the C++17 standard, the contents of the Parallelism Technical Specification are added to modern C++, and as a result, make their way into many C++ compilers and IDEs, such as the latest C++ Builder 12. This feature adds new overloads, taking an additional execution…
A concurrency support library is designed to solve problems in modern C++ that arise with multi-thread development. This library includes built-in support for threads (std::thread), atomic operations (std::atomic), mutual exclusion (std::mutex), condition variables (std::condition_variable), and many other features. In C++14, in addition to mutex, there is a shared_mutex which is an instance of…
The concurrency support library in modern C++ is designed to solve read and write data securely in thread operations that allow us to develop faster multi-thread apps. This library includes built-in support for threads (std::thread), atomic operations (std::atomic), mutual…
In C++, the constexpr specifier is used to declare a function or variable to evaluate the value of at compile time, which speeds up code during runtime. This useful property had some restrictions in C++11, these are relaxed in C++14 and this feature is known asRelaxed…
Lambda Expressions allow users to write an inline expression that can be used for short snippets of code in your C++ app which are not going to be reused and don’t require naming. The Lambda Expression construct is introduced in C++ 11 and further developed in the C++14, C++17, and C++20 standards. In C++14, lambda expressions are improved by the generalized lambda (generic lambda) or…
C++11 allows the use of atomics in signal handlers. In C++17 the signal handler feature is further improved. The std::atomic_flag is an atomic boolean type that is guaranteed to be lock-free and can be used in signal handlers. Moreover, the <csignal> header in C++…
Modern C++ has many features to aid multi-thread programming that allow applications to be faster and more responsive. The C++11 standard offers the possibility of moving an exception from one thread to another. This type of movement is called propagating exceptions…
C++ is very strong in every aspect of modern programming. Volatile types are used with the volatile keyword. It is a lesser known type qualifier that is important to read types or objects whose value can be modified at any time. The volatile keyword is useful in memory-mapped applications, generally these are from a hardware device, from a sensor, from an input device, or data from on an IoT. For…
