Episode 32: Whatever Happens Inside the Function Is Nobody’s Business - a podcast by Phil Nash & Jon Kalb

Recorded June 23rd, 2018

This week we discuss Contracts, both as an idea (and possible implementations) and as the language level proposal currently progressing through the ISO process. We have one of the proposal's authors, John Lakos, as well as an interested bystander, Kévin Boissonneault.

We finally get to Jon's rant on non-const arguments in post-conditions, and realise that the proposal authors may be one step ahead of us!

Guests:

• John Lakos (LinkedIn)
• Kévin Alexandre Boissonneault (Twitter)

Topic Links:

• John (et al)'s earlier paper on the Bloomberg implementation
• The Contracts proposal - r4 (apparently there is a non-public r5)
• The Lakos Rule/ Guideline

Other Links:

• C++ on Sea Call for Speakers
• CppCon Volunteer Grant Program
