  • C++20 Modules Status Report
    3 projects | /r/cpp | 12 Sep 2022
    As a reminder (you've probably seen this, but maybe not everyone), I am still accepting bug bash reports, if anyone is super excited about trying out the code.
  • Why is MSVC so much faster at implementing new features?
    7 projects | /r/cpp | 8 Sep 2022
    There are indeed bugs, but it's getting close to handling the entire Standard Library. I'm still accepting STL Modules Bug Bash reports, if you can find novel bugs (see the tracking issue microsoft/STL#1694 for known bugs).
  • Why the hell are headers still a thing after all these years?!
    1 project | /r/cpp | 23 Aug 2022
    Standard Library Modules are coming soon. You can experiment with them (and report issues) by following the instructions at https://github.com/StephanTLavavej/STL/wiki/Standard-Library-Modules-Bug-Bash .
  • MSVC Backend Updates for VS2022 17.3
    2 projects | /r/cpp | 9 Aug 2022
    C++23 Standard Library Modules were just officially accepted into the Working Paper. My bug bash for the implementation-in-progress was successful, with many great bugs reported (and most worked around, to the limit of my ability in the library). VS 2022 17.4 Preview 1, released today, contains more fixes for named modules. I'm now close to having a PR prepared for review - just need to add automated testing and do some setup work (as we need to ship a new directory with new files). I can't promise anything yet, but I am very tentatively hopeful that we'll be able to merge this for 17.5.
  • Fun times with MSVC <functional>
    6 projects | /r/cpp | 4 Aug 2022
    Agreed - I'm running the Standard Library Modules Bug Bash until end of day today, but I'll continue to accept bug reports afterwards (and will hopefully have time to create a full PR for modules soon).
  • Do you think template classes will ever be able to be split into .h and .cpp files?
    3 projects | /r/cpp | 31 Jul 2022
    They should! If you use MSVC as one of your compilers, can you try my upcoming implementation of Standard Library Modules? My bug bash is running for another week, and getting bug reports will help us fix issues in the compiler and library so modules will be usable sooner. (That is, bugs that affect import std; will likely affect people writing their own named modules too.)
  • Among the C++20 characteristics you use, what has had the biggest impact on performance improvement?
    1 project | /r/cpp | 26 Jul 2022
    If you use MSVC, can you help me test them in the modules bug bash I'm running for the next 2 weeks?

When comparing STL and HMake you can also consider the following projects:

STL - MSVC's implementation of the C++ Standard Library.

Sharpmake - Sharpmake is an open-source C#-based solution for generating project definition files, such as Visual Studio projects and solutions, GNU makefiles, Xcode projects, etc.

Instantiator - Clang based tool to automatically insert all needed explicit instantiations in implementation files for `c++` projects

Jsonifier - A few classes for parsing and serializing objects from/into JSON, in C++ - very rapidly.
