This quarter, I focused on two areas of Mr.Docs: adding first-class support for function objects, the pattern behind C++20 Niebloids and Ranges CPOs, and overhauling how the tool turns C++ metadata into documentation output (the reflection layer). Function objects: documenting what users actually call In modern C++ libraries, many “functions” are actually global objects whose type has operator() overloads. The Ranges library, for instance, defines std::ranges::sort() not as a function templ...

During Q1 2026, I’ve been working in the following areas: boost::container::hub boost::container::hub is a nearly drop-in replacement of C++26 std::hive sporting a simpler data structure and providing competitive performance with respect to the de facto reference implementation plf::hive. When I first read about std::hive, I couldn’t help thinking how complex the internal design of the container is, and wondered if something leaner could in fact be more effective. boost::container::hub crit...

Code Coverage Reports - designing new GCOVR templates A major effort this quarter and continuing on since it was mentioned in the last newsletter is the development of codecov-like coverage reports that run in GitHub Actions and are hosted on GitHub Pages. Instructions: Code Coverage with Github Actions and Github Pages. The process has really highlighted a phenomenon in open-source software where by publishing something to the whole community, end-users respond back with their own suggestio...

The C++ Alliance is proud to support attendance at WG21 committee meetings. We believe that facilitating the attendance of domain experts produces better outcomes for C++ and for the broader ecosystem, and we are committed to making participation more accessible. We want to be unequivocally clear: the C++ Alliance does not, and will never, direct or compel attendees to vote in any particular way. Our support comes with no strings attached. Those who attend are free and encouraged to exercise...

Corosio Beta: Coroutine-Native Networking for C++20 The C++ Alliance is releasing the Corosio beta, a networking library designed from the ground up for C++20 coroutines. We are inviting serious C++ developers to use it, break it, and tell us what needs to change before it goes to Boost formal review. The Gap C++20 Left Open C++20 gave us coroutines. It did not give us networking to go with them. Boost.Asio has added coroutine support over the years, but its foundations were laid for a w...
