Hi everyone, here is a list of websites that I use for C++:
- https://godbolt.org/: compiler explorer, allows you to quickly test code and see the disassembly, integrates many libraries and tools (PVS, clang-tidy, …). It can even do CMake projects with multiple files!
- https://en.cppreference.com/w/Main_Page: The C++ reference.
- https://cppinsights.io/: see what the compiler does for you behind the scene.
- https://quick-bench.com/: make quick comparison/benchmark
What are you all using? Post your comments :)
To plug shamelessly:
- https://github.com/jeaye/stdman - cppreference docs as man pages
- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jeaye/value-category-cheatsheet/master/value-category-cheatsheet.pdf - A cheat sheet on C++14 value categories and common mistakes
The https://hackingcpp.com/cpp/cheat_sheets.html cheat sheets for std::algorithms and containers always save me a lot of time.
Same as yours +
- https://wandbox.org : an alternative to God bolt, when just needing to quickly test something (i.e. not needing the disassembly and multiple options of godbolt, just see if it compiles, or behave like expected on several compilers - I use that very often when writing code review comments to be sure not to advise rubbish…)
- https://regex101.com/ : not specifically for c++ but useful as well
Some great blogs too:
- https://www.fluentcpp.com/ : unfortunately not maintained anymore but many great articles mainly on readability
- https://www.cppstories.com/p/start-here/
- https://www.modernescpp.com/index.php
- https://arne-mertz.de/ : simplify c++
One must see YouTube video: https://youtu.be/2olsGf6JIkU
Perhaps some others I’ll look tomorrow on my work computer.
Nice ones, for regex I also use https://regexr.com/ but regex101 is great too
Yeah, lots of interesting talk freely available: CppCon videos, ACCU, C++Weekly
also some git repo:
- awesome cpp lists: https://github.com/fffaraz/awesome-cpp
- awesome modern cpp: https://github.com/rigtorp/awesome-modern-cpp
- awesome CMake: https://github.com/onqtam/awesome-cmake

- isocpp core guidelines: https://github.com/isocpp/CppCoreGuidelines
I wish cppreference had better search. I usually end up using it through google/ddg to find what I really need. For example, searching chunk_view gives no results.
One more I forgot is https://cppinsights.io : this online tool takes C++ code and output C++ code, the goal being to make the “magic” of the compiler visible (for example for(auto vi : std::vector…) is expended to iterators and the tool make it visible). It can help sometime when struggling with a difficult to understand issue.
