📣Join us in CppIndiaCon 2024 for an in-depth exploration of C++ object lifetime, covering creation, destruction, memory management, and advanced topics like std::launder, std::bit_cast, and std::start_lifetime_as through the lens of the C++ standard and compiler optimizations.   🗣️ Talk: An (In-)Complete Guide to C++ Object Lifetimes 🎙️Speaker: Jonathan Müller 🕰️Day 2: 24th August at 13:00 - 14:00 IST   Abstract: A C++ program manipulates objects, but it is undefined behavior if you attempt to manipulate them while they are not alive. So let's do a deep dive into object lifetime. When are objects created, and when are they destroyed? How does temporary lifetime extension come into play and what changed there recently? What happens when you `std::malloc` memory and just pretend objects are there without creating anything? Or worse: you use `mmap()` to read shared memory. How do unions interact with constructors, strict aliasing, or the "common initial sequence"? What happens when you explicitly call the destructor and later re-use the same storage? What's the deal with `std::launder`, `std::bit_cast`, and `std::start_lifetime_as`? We'll answer all of those questions and much more. We'll do that by looking at the C++ standard, old and new proposals, and compiler optimizations.   Grab your ticket now: https://lnkd.in/gHD6kFzr   conference is hosted by CppIndia Thanks to our Gold Sponsor: MulticoreWare Inc & think-cell Software   #cppindia #cppindiacon2024 #cpp #cplusplus #programming #developer #conference   Graphic credit: Dheeraj Jha (He/Him)

We are pleased to announce that think-cell will be participating in the WeAreDevelopers World Congress 2024, one of the largest and most prestigious developer conferences globally, for the third year in a row. This year, the event will take place on July 17-19 in Berlin, Germany. The WeAreDevelopers World Congress is known for bringing together professionals from the software and product business, offering a major platform for networking, knowledge sharing, and showcasing the latest innovations in software development. This year's event is expected to attract thousands of developers, engineers, and tech enthusiasts from around the world. Our team, including developers and HR representatives, will be present at our booth to discuss the exciting career opportunities available at think-cell, including C++ Developer and C++ Internship positions. We will share insights into our work culture, the projects we are working on, and the benefits we offer, such as a flat structure, no meetings or overtime, flexible working hours, and an international team of experts. Our presence at the event also includes a series of talks by think-cell’s experts in the conference program, all delivered on July 18: - Jonathan Müller, Software Engineer, will present "An (In-)Complete Guide to C++ Object Lifetimes" at 10:10 on Stage 10 (120), addressing creation and destruction, temporary lifetime extension, memory management practices, and relevant C++ features and optimizations. - Arno Schoedl, think-cell founder and CTO, will discuss "Why Iterators Got It All Wrong — and What We Should Use Instead" at 10:50 on Stage 10 (120), highlighting the fundamental flaws of the C++ iterator concept, distinguishing between elements and boundaries, and proposing a solution for clearer code and reduced errors. - Sebastian Theophil, Senior Software Engineer, will share a talk titled "Passive ARM Assembly Skills for Debugging, Optimization (and Hacking)" at 11:30 on Stage 10 (120), providing a practical introduction to ARM assembly code, essential for debugging and optimizing applications on ARM machines, especially for those with experience in x86 assembly. We will also host a raffle with prizes, including our signature green socks, beach balls, bike seat covers, reusable straws, and charging cables. Join us to learn more about the innovative work happening at think-cell and discover how you can be a part of our team. We look forward to meeting you at the WeAreDevelopers World Congress 2024. See you in Berlin!

We're excited to announce our video sponsorship of CppNorth this July! CppNorth is the Canadian C++ Conference, and a production of C++ Toronto, which provides an open and collaborative place where Software Developers can meet and discuss C++. CppNorth will bring together local and visiting speakers for three days filled with opportunities to learn, network and discover what's new in the C++ community. Our aim is to make C++ talks free and accessible for anyone interested, therefore we’re delighted to be supporting the conference by sponsoring all talks again this year, after having collaborated with the conference for the past three years. The talks can be viewed on YouTube (https://lnkd.in/eXDmb9U4) afterwards, so keep an eye out on the CppNorth channel for some informative content.

We're proud to be video sponsors of the ACCU Conference this year, an event that has been running for over 30 years! The conference was a hybrid format, with in-person gatherings in Bristol, UK, and live-streamed sessions online. Want to know more? Click here https://lnkd.in/e2XnPSpJ

In the middle of this summer, think-cell will be present at the IT Career Fair in Heidelberg University for the very first time. The event will be held from 10:00 to 16:00 at Chemistry Lecture Hall Center of the Heidelberg University. Heidelberg University, founded in 1386, is Germany’s oldest university and one of the strongest research universities in all of Europe. A key unique selling point of Computer Science in Heidelberg is the strong interdisciplinary orientation, reflected in a large number of research projects and teaching. With over 1600 computer science, mathematics and natural sciences students and alumni expected at the event, the IT Career Fair will be a perfect opportunity for think-cell to showcase our prominent C++ Development internship and full-time positions with an option to write your academic thesis with us. We will have a booth at the fair, ready to meet the participants talk about the benefits we provide for the team members – such as a flat structure, no meetings or overtime, flexible working hours, relocation assistance, and our dedication to excellent code. Our team will also bring the raffle, offering branded prizes such as beach balls, socks, reusable straws, and others to participants. Be sure to stop by our booth, get your gift, and have a chat with the team – our software developer Jonathan and HR representatives Julia and Anastasia. We look forward to networking with Heidelberg University students and graduates! https://lnkd.in/ekBuTsJT

🤖 We've had the honour of having Sebastian Theophil deliver his talk on "Reuseable code, reusable data structures" which centred on one of the core principles of software engineering: DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself)🧑💻 Repetitive code can be a nightmare, leading to errors and maintenance headaches. In this session, we dove into #C++ tools and patterns that help us avoid repetition and choose the best approach for sharing code and data. We covered everything from template functions and classes to exploring programming patterns like CRTP and templated base classes. The goal was to develop an intuition for when to use each tool effectively. 🪅 Speaker fun fact: Sebastian has been with think-cell Software since 2002 and has done incredible work, including porting think-cell to macOS and maintaining the typescripten project. When he’s not coding, you can find him sharing his knowledge at international C++ conferences (psst, like this one!) #BestPractice #GenericProgramming #SoftwareEngineering #Templates #Cpp #DRY #Coding #TechTalk #Programming #SoftwareDevelopment #cpponsea

In April, think-cell participated in Computer Science Career Fair, Karrieretreff Informatik, in Chemnitz University of Technology (TU Chemnitz) with great success. Would you like to learn more? Then click here https://lnkd.in/eTRrbDyx
