C++26 Preview - The Smaller Features - Jeff Garland - CppCon 2024
---

Join us as we explore the cutting-edge advancements of C++26, covering both small tweaks and large-scale additions. Despite C++23 not being officially released from ISO, the C++ committee is already two-thirds through the design phase of C++26 - with less than a year left until feature freeze. In this session, we'll dive into the new features slated for inclusion in C++26, with a focus on those already present in the working draft. And particularly those already making their way into compilers and standard libraries. For sure we'll cover contracts, reflection, format, and many smaller improvements. But given the large amount of material available, we'll customize the content based on audience requests.

We'll cover a variety of topics briefly, but with enough depth to get you started. From enhanced language capabilities to powerful library additions, this session will equip you with the knowledge to leverage these upcoming features in your projects. The session will be up to date with the latest from the summer C++ Committee meeting.
