C++26: an overview
summary
Roadmap items become concrete: a new reflection operator that produces compile‑time meta values and splices code back, a minimal but usable contracts system with require/post and runtime violations, and a working reference for std::execution (senders/receivers) demonstrated with an eight‑thread pool scheduling three jobs that return 0, 1, 4. Library proposals include std::in_place_vector, sub_mdspan and linear algebra headers, improved string/format conversions and constexpr extensions — many library pieces lack compiler implementations and are explicitly minimal viable products.
