ACCU Membership: https://tinyurl.com/ydnfkcyn — C++ Magic Statics Demystified – History, Internals, Pitfalls, and Optimizations – Kathleen Baker & Chandranath Bhattacharyya – ACCU 2026 — Function-local static variables, colloquially known as “magic statics”, have been a staple of thread-safe initialization since C++11, yet their internal mechanics remain a mystery to many. This talk explores the historical … C++ Magic Statics Demystified – History, Internals, Pitfalls, and Optimizations – Kathleen Baker & Chandranath Bhattacharyya – ACCU 2026

Implementing C++ Standard Library – Design and Optimisations in Libc++ – Hui Xie – ACCU 2026

|

ACCU Membership: https://tinyurl.com/ydnfkcyn — Implementing C++ Standard Library – Design and Optimisations in Libc++ – Hui Xie – ACCU 2026 — This presentation covers various practical examples in the designs and optimisations in libc++, a standard library implementation. It presents various examples of using compact type, reusing tail padding bytes, reusing unused bits in existing … Implementing C++ Standard Library – Design and Optimisations in Libc++ – Hui Xie – ACCU 2026

Fearless Concurrency in C++ – Tristan Brindle – ACCU 2026

|

ACCU Membership: https://tinyurl.com/ydnfkcyn — Fearless Concurrency in C++ – Tristan Brindle – ACCU 2026 — “Fearless concurrency” — the absence of data races, statically guaranteed by the compiler — is one of the major selling points of the Rust programming language. What if we could get those same guarantees in C++ as well? In this … Fearless Concurrency in C++ – Tristan Brindle – ACCU 2026

Processor Design and Memory Models – Ofek Shilon – ACCU 2026

|

ACCU Membership: https://tinyurl.com/ydnfkcyn — Processor Design and Memory Models – Ofek Shilon – ACCU 2026 — std::atomic and std::memory_order are utterly opaque abstractions. It feels like they were put in place to hide some monstrosity that is too complex for mortals to comprehend, and inevitably when trying to understand the underlying reality, the explanations end … Processor Design and Memory Models – Ofek Shilon – ACCU 2026

Improving Application Design With std::variant and Templates – Robert Schimkowitsch – ACCU 2026

|

ACCU Membership: https://tinyurl.com/ydnfkcyn — Improving Application Design With std::variant and Templates – Robert Schimkowitsch – ACCU 2026 — A std::variant can store a value of one type at a time, out of a user-defined set of types. Those types can be completely unrelated to one another, but we can design them to have similarities. Templates … Improving Application Design With std::variant and Templates – Robert Schimkowitsch – ACCU 2026

Contract Assertions on Virtual Functions – Timur Doumler – ACCU 2026

|

ACCU Membership: https://tinyurl.com/ydnfkcyn — Contract Assertions on Virtual Functions – Timur Doumler – ACCU 2026 — Runtime polymorphism is a fundamental part of C++; many libraries and APIs are built around virtual functions. However, the pre and post contract assertions added in C++26 cannot be applied to virtual functions; attempting to do so results in … Contract Assertions on Virtual Functions – Timur Doumler – ACCU 2026

What Your Allocator Is Doing to Your C++ Program? – Sejal Gupta – ACCU 2026

|

ACCU Membership: https://tinyurl.com/ydnfkcyn — What Your Allocator Is Doing to Your C++ Program? – Sejal Gupta – ACCU 2026 — Dynamic memory allocation is often treated as an implementation detail in C++ programs. Yet in practice, allocator behaviour strongly influences performance, scalability, memory usage, and even correctness. Seemingly unrelated symptoms -latency spikes, memory bloat, allocator … What Your Allocator Is Doing to Your C++ Program? – Sejal Gupta – ACCU 2026

The Future of C++ Is Memory Safe – Jon Bauman – ACCU 2026

|

ACCU Membership: https://tinyurl.com/ydnfkcyn — The Future of C++ Is Memory Safe – Jon Bauman – ACCU 2026 — As the dominant systems programming language since the ’80s, C++ came to prominence decades before memory safety was a common concern for engineers, much less governments. With the advent of practical systems languages such as Rust and … The Future of C++ Is Memory Safe – Jon Bauman – ACCU 2026

The Biggest Misconception of Computer Science – Alex Dathskovsky – ACCU 2026

|

ACCU Membership: https://tinyurl.com/ydnfkcyn — The Biggest Misconception of Computer Science – Alex Dathskovsky – ACCU 2026 — From our very first algorithms class, we are taught a simple rule: a better Big-O complexity means a faster algorithm. We spend years mastering asymptotic analysis, memorizing complexity tables, and losing sleep over worst-case scenarios. Big-O becomes a … The Biggest Misconception of Computer Science – Alex Dathskovsky – ACCU 2026
