papers VS cpr

It is slowly making its way through the standards committee. https://github.com/cplusplus/papers/issues/43

The author has a fork of clang and gcc with some pretty impressive speedups, so I’m hopeful! https://lists.isocpp.org/sg14/2024/04/1127.php

What's fun is, because everything is decided in papers, we can find out why! https://github.com/cplusplus/papers/issues/884

Accepted paper here: https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2022/p20...

> The proposed std::print function improves usability, avoids allocating a temporary std::string object and calling operator<< which performs formatted I/O on text that is already formatted. The number of function calls is reduced to one which, together with std::vformat-like type erasure, results in much smaller binary code (see § 13 Binary code).

Additionally,

> Another problem is formatting of Unicode text:

> std::cout << "Привет, κόσμος!";

> If the source and execution encoding is UTF-8 this will produce the expected output on most GNU/Linux and macOS systems. Unfortunately on Windows it is almost guaranteed to produce mojibake despite the fact that the system is fully capable of printing Unicode

Bringing editions to C++ failed, and I am not aware of anyone trying to tackle the issues https://github.com/cplusplus/papers/issues/631

(I could be wrong though! I follow the committee more than you may guess, but not as much as to think I know everything about what's going on.)

GitHub would not be relevant in this respect because:

* It's owned by a (single) commercial corporation, Microsoft.

* There is censorship both by content and in some respects by country of origin.

* The code is closed.

but otherwise it's an interesting idea.

The C++ standardization committee uses GitHub to track papers submitted to them, see:

https://github.com/cplusplus/papers

There was no non-approval. The facility needs more work, and the authors (and the committee) were focusing on getting print/format done first. I hope that the paper will be worked on again in the future. We will be happy to review it once there is a revision (see github for history)

For more details on what we did at the 2023-06 Varna meeting, the [GitHub issue](https://github.com/cplusplus/papers/issues/328) associated with the paper has a summary.

This one might fit the bill https://github.com/libcpr/cpr

There is also the cpr package which should offer a more c++ focussed interface for curl.

So I'm very new to C++ and I'm trying to write a C++ version of a tool that I put together in Python. I'm trying to use libcpr for all my HTTP needs. I've spent the day trying to get it set up and working, but I'm getting a bunch of linking errors when I try to run. I really don't know if I did the building of it correctly, I'm trying to use Visual Studio Community 2022 and the Usage section of their docs talks about CMake and a couple package manager methods.

I think vcpkg manifests have solved a really key portion of the "please give me these libraries" problem. Couple lines in a json file, pass CMake to your vcpkg toolchain script path and triplet, and you're pretty much done with dependencies. I actually used it for a project with libcpr/cpr and a couple other popular libraries, and I was shocked at how painless it was to get up and running with some web request stuff.

Libraries like nlohmann's json, cpr, fmt are prime examples of what I'm seeking. Any suggestions?

Basically specifying the language and the repo, and it does work when the request is made from postman or from the browser. However, when using https://github.com/libcpr/cpr, I'm getting the following response:
