A Subset of C++

Like

RAII / unique_ptr

Using unique_ptr as a handle on a ressource is great (be it memory, file...).

STL algorithms

If anything, we need more.

Want to like

STL containers

Over-generic, sometimes surprising implementation details, missing some relatively common data structures.

Bright side: SG14 working on some, memory ressources instead of allocators, concepts...

Allocators

Generic programming

To be useful, templates really need SFINAE, constexpr if, type_traits, concepts... enable_if is still not great.

Ranges

A few months ago, long compile time, lack of doc, complex internals. Hopefully once everything has been standardized it will be better, because it looks great.

Parallel STL

A bit annoying to have to setup TBB right now.

Dislike

Exceptions

Macros

Header files

Distribution

Tooling
