The C++11 standard introduced alignment support as one of the many features of the C++ programming language that can be used with the latest C++ compilers today. One of the new features of this support was a new keyword align std::aligned_union that is used to provide a nested type which can be used as an uninitialized storage for any object whose size is at most the object size stated by…
The C++11 standard introduced alignment support as one of the many features of a Modern compiler for the C++ programming language. One of the new features of this support is a new keyword align std::align which is used to get a pointer aligned by the…
Alignment support comes with the C++11 standard and it is one of the recent features of Modern C++ compilers. One part of this support is a new keyword alignof which is used for the alignment requirement of a type. In this post, we explain how we can use alignof in Modern…
C++ is really awesome programming language that has many options to use variables in a way which can make your C++ App use less memory and app size. In this post, we explain what are a constant, a constant expression and generalized constant expressions in modern C++.
What is the const constant keyword in modern C++?
Let’s remember that, in C++ there are two ways to define constants.
One of the features of Modern C++ is Alignment Support which comes with the C++11 standard. One of the new features of this support is a new keyword alignas which is the alignment specifier. For example, we can apply the alignas alignment specifier to define the minimum…
Understanding how to correct declare variables is important in programming, especially in a modern C++ Application. There is an enumeration method that allows you to easily enumerate (count or determine their place in an order) values in variables. In C++, enumeration is…
In C++, as with any programming language, it’s important to ensure that the logic of your program is correct even when the compiler thinks the syntax is valid. This is true no matter how good your C++ dev tool may be. Logical errors – where something in the program code should be true or false, can be very difficult to spot and track down because the code looks correct but the flaw in…
C++ has some really great features for being able to define different types of variables and structure. One of the most used and very useful arrays in C++ is the std::vector. If you know arrays in C and C++, then containers are a modern and very flexible form of arrays in…
In C++, enumeration is very important and widely used in different scenarios. In C++, enumeration can be done with the enum keyword which can be used in unscoped and scoped enumerations. C++ is a great programming language that has many options to enumerate variables in a…
Variable declaration is important in programming and there is an enumeration method that allows you to numerate/count variables easily. In C++, enumeration is very important and widely used in different syntaxes. Enumeration in C++ can be done with the enum keyword which can be used to create unscoped and scoped enumerations. C++11 and above has modern enumeration methods that can be easily used…
