C++11 allowed lambda functions to deduce the return type based on the type of the expression given to the return statement. The C++14 standard provides return type deduction in all functions, templates, and lambdas. C++14 allows return type deduction for functions that are not of the form return expressions. In this post, we explain the auto keyword, what is an auto type deduction, and how we…
A programming language consists of a lot of expressions in our source code. One of elements of expressions in C++ are literals. A more specific type of literal is Integer Literals. Integer literals are primary expressions that allow values of integer types (i.e., decimal…
In a modern C++ code compiler, there are many features that help you learn, master, and remember the various features and functions of the C++ language. One such feature of modern C++ is the move constructor that allows you to move the resources from one object to another…
CPUs and GPUs have evolved year on year to feature a greater number of cores and transistors to give more computational power for today’s servers and computers. With the advent of multiple cores, it is common now for programs to make use of multiple simultaneous threads. In modern C++, multi-thread operations are amazingly evolved since C++11, still there are new improvements in the latest…
Unions are rarely used but are another important data type alternative to structs and classes in modern C++ development. Unions are used to define variables that share storage space. The C++11 standard loosens up the restriction regarding members of unions, and in this…
In modern C++, explicit-qualified conversion functions work in the same context as explicit-qualified constructors and produce diagnostics in the same contexts as constructors do. C++11, C++17, and C++20 standards have improvements in this explicit specifier. This is done to…
In programming, some of the most important parts are the functions that we create. They are like Lego parts that we can use in all places of the application. In modern C++ development, a function declaration is really important, and these functions gained some additional abilities after the C++11 standards. C++11 introduced two new features: defaulted and deleted functions. These are very…
Modern C++ has many additions compared to the original C++ standard. Regarding virtual overrides, C++11 tends to tighten the rules, to detect some problems that often arise. To achieve this goal C++11 introduces two new contextual keywords, the final and the override…

In modern C++, namespaces are a kind of library or framework. They are useful to hold the same name of classes, methods, and other entities in different namespaces. C++11 standard and other standards above, allow the inline keyword in a namespace definition and in this post, we explain how to use inline namespaces in modern C++.
What is a namespace in modern C++?
Namespaces in C++ allow…
