Three Important C++ 17 Posts That Can Be Used In 2024
Happy New Year Developers! We wish you a great new year that brings peace, happiness, health, and success to you and your family. This week, we have 3 more Modern C++ features that can be used in C++ Builder. The contents of the Parallelism Technical Specification are added to C++17, and as a result, make their way into many C++ compilers and IDEs, such as the latest C++ Builder 12. We explain this feature that adds new overloads, taking an additional execution policy argument, to many algorithms, as well as entirely new algorithms. The Parallelism Technical Specification adds several new algorithms to the modern C++ and in the next post, we explain the new algorithms that come with C++17. Another feature in C++17 was basic_string_view
(std::basic_string_view
) which is a constant string container that can be used for multiple string declarations, and we explain basic_string_view
and its types in another post.
Our educational LearnCPlusPlus.org site has a broad selection of new and unique posts with examples suitable for everyone from beginners to professionals alike. It is growing well thanks to you, and we have many new readers, thanks to your support! The site features a treasure-trove of posts that are great for learning the features of modern C++ compilers with very simple explanations and examples.
RAD Studio’s C++ Builder, Delphi, and their free community editions C++ Builder CE, and Delphi CE are powerful tools for modern application development.

Where I can I learn C++ and test these examples with a free C++ compiler?
If you don’t know anything about C++ or the C++ Builder IDE, don’t worry, we have a lot of great, easy to understand examples on the LearnCPlusPlus.org website and they’re all completely free. Just visit this site and copy and paste any examples there into a new Console, VCL, or FMX project, depending on the type of post. We keep adding more C and C++ posts with sample code. In today’s round-up of recent posts on LearnCPlusPlus.org, we have new articles with very simple examples that can be used with:
- The free version of C++ Builder 11 CE Community Edition
- or a professional version of C++ Builder
- or free BCC32C C++ Compiler and BCC32X C++ Compiler
- or the free Dev-C++
Read the FAQ notes on the CE license and then simply fill out the form to download C++ Builder 11 CE.
How to use modern C++ with C++ Builder?
With the C++17 standard, the contents of the Parallelism Technical Specification are added to modern C++, and as a result, make their way into many C++ compilers and IDEs, such as the latest C++ Builder 12. This feature adds new overloads, taking an additional execution policy argument, to many algorithms, as well as entirely new algorithms. Three execution policies are supported, which respectively provide sequential, parallel, and vectorized execution. In the first post, we explain what are the Parallelism Features that come with C++ 17
The Parallelism Technical Specification adds several new algorithms to the modern C++. These are modernized in the
header in the standard library. In the next post, we explain the new algorithms that come with C++17.
Another feature of C++17 was basic_string_view
(std::basic_string_view
) which is a constant string container that can be used for multiple string declarations. The basic_string_view
is a modern way of read-only text definition. It can be used by iterators and other methods of the basic_string_view
class. In the last post, we explain basic_string_view
and its types.
How to learn modern C++ for free using C++ Builder?
LearnCPlusPlus.org has been producing full of educational articles about C and modern C++ that can be used with C++ Builder, C++ Builder CE, Dev-C++, BCC Compiler and some other compilers such as the GCC compiler. Here are our post picks for today.
We like to hear your feedback. You motivate us so much with your likes and comments on social media (find us on Facebook, LinkedIn, Reddit, Twitter / X and all over) and here on the blogs too. Thank you for your valuable comments and questions. All of them help improve the quality of our future posts.
We have a lot of unique posts waiting to come. We keep adding new topics every week about C++ in general and specific topics for C++ Builder, Dev-C++, and for the other C++ compilers.

Feel free to comment and share with your colleagues, students, members – knowledge is power, and knowledge shared is empowering.
Do you want to know some news about C++ Builder 12?
A few weeks ago, David Millington, Senior Product Manager of C++ Builder, was one of the participants in the RAD Studio 12 launch webinar. RAD Studio 12 focused on many quality and stability improvements for both Delphi and C++ as well as the whole IDE. However, it also contains a number of really great improvements specifically for C++ developers including a new preview of the CLANG toolchain and the totally awesome integration of the popular Visual Assist functionality. The release webinar was one of the longest we’ve done for many years and reflects the sheer amount of new things packed into this bumper release.
Here is the full RAD Studio release webinar replay.
C++ Builder is the easiest and fastest C and C++ IDE for building everything from simple to professional applications. It is also easy for beginners to learn with its wide range of samples, tutorials, help files, and LSP support for code. RAD Studio’s C++ Builder version comes with the award-winning VCL framework for high-performance native Windows apps and the powerful FireMonkey (FMX) framework for cross-platform UIs.
