Exception safety in the copy constructor: incrementing m_size only after each successful element copy

A Fixed Capacity Vector in C++: The Rule of Five

With the raw storage in place, we implement construction and destruction: default, copy, move, initializer-list construction, and the assignment operators — with a careful eye on exception safety.

Sketch of the memory layout used to implement FixedCapacityVector

A Fixed Capacity Vector in C++: Memory Layout

The first post in a series on implementing a FixedCapacityVector – a container that fills the gap between std::array and std::vector. We start with the raw storage: a byte buffer, alignment, and accessing it as typed memory.

Six environment variables that can quietly reduce friction in CMake-based development workflows

6 Environment Variables That Quietly Improved My C++ Workflow

I was able to streamline my CMake-based development workflow quite a bit by defining just six environment variables.

Test Driving C++26 Contracts with GCC 16.1

GCC 16.1 just shipped early support for C++26 contracts - making it the first major compiler to do so. I took it for a spin and wrote up my first impressions.
