Some of My Favorite Small C++11 Features
13 October 11 04:25 PM | pavely | with no comments

The new C++11 standard, finally finalized (pun intended) contains dozens of features, both in the language and in the libraries. Some of those features are pretty complex (or at least less often used), but some are practically essential, and have been sorely missed (at least by me) since forever. Here’s a quick list of those small, simple, features that I like. it’s sometimes surprising to C# or Java developers that some of these features didn’t exist in C++ prior to C++11 (technically, C++03 or...

C++ 0x, Will you save C++?

The emerging new standard of C++ (dubbed C++0X, where X was supposed to be a decimal digit, but now can be considered a hexadecimal digit) will probably be finalized and approved this year (probably to become “C++11”), and is supposed to march C++ into a new era of productivity. Will that actually happen? In recent years, I saw declining usage of C++ in “regular”, data driven applications, UI and graphic applications, in lie of other environments, namely .NET and Java. As I do a lot of training,...

What to expect in C++0x? (Video)

The upcoming new C++ standard, dubbed C++0x (hopefully, x will be a single (decimal) digit (9)) is quite intriguing, with many new features to the language and the supporting standard library. Here’s a video of a lecture given by the inventor and original implementor of C++, Bjarne Stroustrup . Very interesting, not just from the point of view of features, but design-wise and decision-wise as well.
