Explore the history and progress of WG21-SG14, the newest study group convened by WG21 chairman Herb Sutter, in this ACCU 2016 conference talk. Delve into the group's mission to standardize C++ improvements for low latency, real-time requirements, and performance efficiency, particularly in games, finance/banking, and simulations. Examine key issues addressed by the group, including the cost of exceptions, the need for contiguous-implemented containers, and the provision of unstable_remove algorithms and raw_storage iterators. Gain insights into the group's focus on writing performant and efficient code by default, addressing challenges faced by developers in performance-sensitive domains. Learn about the study group's stakeholders, their interests, and the emerging discussions shaping the future of C++ performance optimization. Discover how study groups operate, their organization, and why contributing to one can be valuable. Walk away with a deeper understanding of exception implementation costs, performance issues, and the ongoing efforts to enhance C++ for high-performance applications. Read more
