This blog post summarizes changes to the vcpkg package manager as part of the 2026.06.01 and 2026.06.24 registry releases and the 2026-05-27 tool release. These updates add a vcpkg-tool switch to skip installation when packages are already cached, OpenHarmony (OHOS) platform support, and major library updates including curl 8.21, CGAL 6.2, and Graphviz 15, along with other minor improvements and bug fixes.
  • There are now 2,849 total ports available in the vcpkg curated registry. A port is a versioned recipe for building a package from source, such as a C or C++ library.
  • 28 new ports were added to the curated registry.
  • 142 ports were updated in the 2026.06.01 release and 283 ports were updated in the 2026.06.24 release. As always, we validate each change to a port by building all other ports that depend on or are depended by the library that is being updated for our main triplets.
  • 82 community contributors made commits.
  • The main vcpkg repo has over 7,600 forks and 27,200 stars on GitHub.

[MS] Pulling a single item from a C++ parameter pack by its index, remarks - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

In my earlier discussion of pulling a single item from a C++ parameter pack by its index , I noted that with the Pack Indexing proposal, you would be able to write this to pull an item from a parameter pack while preserving its reference category. template<int index, typename...Args> void example(Args&&... args) { auto&& arg = (Args...[index]&&)args...[index]; using Arg = Args...[index]&&; } Why did I need to apply the (Args...[index]&&) cast ? Why can't I just write this: auto&& arg = args...[index]; or possibly decltype(auto) arg = args...[index]; Well, when you write the name of a variable, the result is an lvalue reference, even if the variable is an rvalue reference . Watch: struct S { S(S&); // construct from lvalue S(S&&); // construct from rvalue }; void whathappens(S&& s) { S t = s; // which will it use? } Try it out in your favorite compiler. This code construc...

Debjyoti Ganguly shares insights on the security benefits and configuration of GHAS Code Scanning with Azure DevOps. Boosting Azure DevOps Security with GHAS Code Scanning Code scanning, a pipeline-based tool available in GitHub Advanced Security, is designed to detect code vulnerabilities and bugs within the source code of ADO (Azure DevOps) repositories. Utilizing CodeQL as a static analysis tool, it performs query analysis and variant analysis. When vulnerabilities are found, it generates security alerts. CodeQL CodeQL is a powerful static analysis tool used for showing vulnerabilities and bugs in source code. It enables developers to write custom queries that analyze codebases, searching for specific patterns and potential security issues. By converting code into a database format, CodeQL allows for sophisticated, database-like queries to detect flaws. CodeQL in Action 1. Preparing the Code Create a CodeQL Database : Extract and structure the code into a database for analy...

[MS] How can I check that all the changes in a git branch have been cherry-picked or rebased into its upstream branch? - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

If you try to delete a branch that contains changes that haven't been merged to its upstream, git warns you, the branch is not fully merged. If you are sure you want to delete it, run 'git branch -D xxx' . Suppose you want to check that all of the changes in the branch have been cherry-picked or rebased into the upstream branch. How can you confirm this? How can you do the "If you are sure" step? One way to do this is to merge the branch into its upstream and see if the result produces any changes. # Detach the HEAD from the upstream so we can do some tinkering. $ git checkout --detach featurebranch{@u} # Propose a merge of the feature branch. $ git merge featurebranch $ ⟦ resolve any merge conflicts and commit ⟧ # See if anything would have changed. $ git diff HEAD HEAD~1 # Return to original branch, abandon detached HEAD. $ git checkout - If the git diff produces no output, then everything in your featurebranch is already present in the upstream, so you ...
