Basit Ayantunde
Billy Baker
connor horman
Derek Haines
Henry Miller
Inbal Levi
Maxime Laine

Robert Douglas

Wong: Inverted meetings: maybe once every three or four months while coronavirus is going. CppCon now fully online. Kona meeting is in Jeopardy. Bulgaria, is the next most likely F2F.

Ben: Pitch I've heard is that 6 months after sports start is when we'll have a new F2F

Inbal: Virtual plenary is in the works

Staffan: All we know is that we don't know.


Wong: Affinity was reviewed in SG1, good to move forward into LEWG. Low level one needs more discussion. Now the paper is talking more about interference patterns. Adjacency locality property work was discussed in an inverted meeting.

Staffan: I see us doing what needs to be done to get executors done, maybe these will follow along.

Inbal: Technical difficulties with ring buffer meeting yesterday. Gathering the various inputs for ring buffer. May want to move some ring buffer things from ring buffer paper to P1958 and P0260. Need use cases. Jens suggested that this be a ring span.

From Maxime Lainé to Everyone: 01:22 PM
sure, but I can't see any more use cases as those already there sadly.. (perhaps something driver related for networking but seems a bit stretched out)

From Inbal Levi to Everyone: 01:25 PM
Jens have suggested something along the lines of ring_span, so that's one direction. But we need to figure out if Guy's popping-strategy (from P0059) is something that is worth importing to P1958

Staffan: LEWGI wasn't thrilled with P1958 interface, but didn't hate it either. LEWGI wanted to see how things differed with ring buffer.

Staffan: P0593 implicit object creation. Adopted in the core language as a DR. start_lifetime_as isn't in the library yet. Very confident that it will be in C++23.

Staffan: P0593 is important to finance because of pipeline applications, similar to niall's load / unload objects out of memory ideas.

Hubert: std::launder won't help with the serialization things. start_lifetime_as only lets you claim that there is an object, previous references need to go through std::launder.

Staffan: Probably wait to talk about member layout control until Rene is able to make it on.

Wong: September is probably the right time to reconnect with Renwick to get forward progress on the paper and implementation.

Inbal: Trying to summarize decisions that are made in the low cost exception space for a cppcon talk.

Ben: Paper in the works to discuss error handling tradeoffs. Will send it to Wong and Inbal.

Staffan: Big finance concern is just getting C++20 implemented and seeing the impact, like with jthread and the sync primitives. Seeing real at-scale impact with concepts and modules.

Wong: How well does the networking proposal work for finance? Maybe there's an RPC proposal?

Staffan: Anything that helps low level timing stability or development throughput is of interest. In finance, lots of people have the same idea at about the same time, but only the first 50% of people or so will make money on it.

Wong: How do contracts feel in your space?

Staffan: Vital, just not that everyone has realized that what they are doing is contracts work.

Wong: Bloomberg is largely doing it for verification.

From Robert Douglas to Everyone: 01:46 PM
Are there any papers in flight, that anyone is aware of, for attributes for hot/cold, a-la likely/unlikely?

Robert Douglas: gnu has hot / cold as well. Has anyone seen a paper along those lines?

Staffan: likely / unlikely don't strictly do that, it does help. Not for data though.

Staffan: finance ends up living in a weird world where the most common things need to be marked "unlikely" for performance.

From Me to Everyone: 01:50 PM
Timur Doumler is also trying to drag an assume attribute back from contracts

From connor horman to Everyone: 01:52 PM
I'd be interested in seeing that as well.

Robert Douglas: I usually see this for error handling functions that are marked both as unlikely and cold.

Wong: Could use a paper exploring this.

From Inbal Levi to Everyone: 01:53 PM
Yes. But to my humble understanding, the support is vague.

From Maxime Lainé to Everyone: 01:53 PM
hot/cold pragmas/markers seems a bit out of language, more of a compiler feature, but I'm open for discussion as well

From Inbal Levi to Everyone: 01:53 PM
P1774R3

Staffan: Would like to have an offline discussion talking about hot / cold.

Actions:
* Wong to talk with Renwick
* Staffan + Robert to talk about object layout
* Revisit object layout space when Rene is on the call
