My rough notes for this meeting are available on the (✨NEW!✨) WG21 wiki here.
The P3688 GH issue has been updated to reflect the polls that were taken and is now tagged for LEWG review.
The P3876 GH issue has been updated to indicate that SG16 review has started, but has not yet concluded.
Tom.
SG16 will hold a meeting tomorrow, Wednesday, January 14th, at 19:30 UTC (timezone conversion).
The agenda is:
Happy new year!
If you concentrate hard, you might recall, way back before the (non-)release of the Epstein files, the friendly visits from a jolly man in a red suit, the celebrations of another successful circumnavigation of the sun, the US capture of the leader of Venezuela, the reignited talk of the US invading Greenland, the on-going ICE related tragedies in the US, and the attempts to politicize the Federal Reserve, a full month ago, we had been discussing the P3688 proposal to add a suite of ASCII related utilities to the standard. Jan published P3688R5 shortly after our last meeting and, I think, has addressed all feedback that was provided. We'll review the new revision, ensure previously raised concerns have been addressed, and hopefully poll forwarding it to LEWG.
P3876R0, for which Jan is also the primary author, seeks to standardize additional overloads of std::to_chars() and std::from_chars() (and their result types) for additional character types (char8_t, char16_t, char32_t, and wchar_t). As usual, we'll consider encoding related issues (e.g., handling for malformed code unit sequences) and impact on existing implementations. Fortunately, since these utilities are locale independent, we'll (hopefully) not have to wrangle with locale related concerns. This proposal is conceptually simple, but the paper is relatively long (in a good way), so I don't expect that we'll conclude discussion in this meeting.
Tom.
