About

I’m a C++ developer at Jump Trading, member of the C++ standards committee, and unreasonably active on StackOverflow in the various C++ tags.

Sampling of accepted standards proposals:

• Prominent features:
  • Deducing this
• constexpr-related
  • constexpr INVOKE
  • if consteval
  • Missing constexpr in std::optional and std::variant
  • Using unknown references in constant expressions
  • Relaxing some constexpr restrictions (from my post on the constexpr array size problem)
  • consteval needs to propagate up
  • Permitting static constexpr variables in constexpr functions
• Ranges-related
  • forwarding-range<T> is too subtle
  • Concept traits should be named after concepts
  • Conditionally borrowed ranges
  • Superior String Splitting (from my post on implementing a better split)
  • cbegin should always return a constant iterator
  • Formatting Ranges
  • ranges::fold
  • Views should not be required to be default constructible
  • Pipe support for user-defined range adaptors
  • What is a view?
  • views::join_with
  • views::as_rvalue
  • move_iterator<T*> should be a random access iterator
  • Improve default container formatting
  • Poison Pills are Too Toxic

I’ve given a few conference talks:

• CppNow 2021: Iterators and Ranges: Comparing C++ to D to Rust
• CPPP 2021: Iterators and Ranges: Comparing C++ D, Rust, and Others (an extended version)
• CppCon 2022: The Surprising Complexity of Formatting Ranges

I’m also a swimming enthusiast and data junkie, writing the occasional post for SwimSwam and doing some work for the DC Trident professional swim team.
