November Talk: Lars Lorenz "One Definition to Rule Them All"

Hi C++ Developers,

our November meetup will be hosted by Carl Zeiss Digital Innovation GmbH.

Lars Lorenz will give his talk about

Title:

One Definition to Rule Them All 

- When Compiling and Linking Successfully Isn’t Enough

Abstract:

One Definition to Rule Them All

In C++, a program can compile and link successfully yet still be ill-formed. A common cause is a violation of the One Definition Rule (ODR), which governs when declarations and definitions in different translation units denote the same entity.

Using practical examples, this talk explores the relationship between linkage and the ODR, including various pitfalls. Some violations result in clear linker errors; others go unnoticed and surface only after optimization - or following an apparently unrelated code change.

We’ll examine why that happens and how to prevent these issues in real-world C++ projects.

We will try to setup a Live Stream on Youtube

If everything works the stream will start at 19:15. No Promise!

Date: Thursday, 12. November 2026

September Talk: Andreas Reischuck "Coroutines in Action"

Hi C++ Developers,

For September we want to restart our in regular events for 2026.

A+S Consult is so generous to host this meeting in Dresden Tolkewitz.

I will give a talk as a preview to Meeting C++ 2026.

Title:

Simple use cases for Coroutines

Abstract:

Are you intrigued by C++20 coroutines but unsure how to apply them in your projects? This talk demystifies coroutines by showcasing their practical benefits in two real-world scenarios, without diving into complex libraries or intricate details.

We'll explore:

1. Streamlining REST API interactions: Learn how coroutines can simplify asynchronous operations, eliminating callback hell and complex state management in a data acquisition application.

2. Enhancing multi-threaded workloads: Discover how coroutines can revolutionize your approach to Asynchronous Procedure Calls (APC) on Windows, leading to cleaner memory management and a more intuitive architecture.

We will try to setup a Live Stream on Youtube.
