CppCon 2024

September 15-20 2024 at the Gaylord Rockies in Aurora CO, USA

CppCon is the premier annual C++ conference held by and for the C++ development community. It brings together contributors spanning the C++ development spectrum, from game developers to high-frequency traders and particle physicists. CppCon brings the C++ community together to learn, collaborate, and stimulate the use and development of C++ across all applications and fields.

Kitware through our development of CMake and history as a company has been deeply invested in C++, its development, and its applications. With such an investment into the C++ language Kitware has been an active and involved participant in CppCon over multiple years, from keynotes of years past to in-person exhibitions and presentations. In 2024, our second year exhibiting at CppCon, we are excited to be collaborating with the larger C++ community, exhibiting our software solutions capabilities, and engaging with attendees at our tabletop booth.

Visit us at our booth to learn more about our capabilities or for any questions/inquiries! If you missed us or cannot attend CppCon but would like to set up a meeting to learn more about our expertise, please contact our software solutions team.

Kitware’s Activities and Involvement

CppCon focuses on topics of high importance to the C++ community, covering areas of significance and interest, from cutting-edge language developments to exploring language fundamentals. Its talks are an expression of what’s most important to the C++ community in 2024. We are very proud to have two speakers giving presentations at this year’s CppCon.

import CMake; // Mastering C++ Modules

Presentation: Bill Hoffman

C++20 modules represent a significant advancement in the language, promising to improve compile times, enhance code organization, and streamline dependency management. This talk is tailored for developers eager to harness the power of C++20 modules in their projects. We will explore the fundamentals of building both shared and static libraries using CMake, the de facto build system for C++.

Beyond Compilation Databases to Support C++ Modules: Build Databases

Presentation: Ben Boeckel

Clang’s compilation database specification has helped tools understand what is happening within a build. It has been used to drive language server protocols for editor/IDE integration, facilitate static analysis over codebases, and more. Alas, it is not powerful enough to describe a build that includes C++ modules properly. Something more is needed: a build database.
