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…
The Lambda Expression construct is introduced in C++ 11 and further developed in the C++14, C++17, and C++20 standards. C++14 standard introduced thegeneralized lambda capture (init capture) that allows you to specify generalized captures, it allows to use move capture…
Lambda Expressions allow users to write an inline expression that can be used for short snippets of code in your C++ app which are not going to be reused and don’t require naming. The Lambda Expression construct is introduced in C++ 11 and further developed in the C++14…
In a modern C++ IDE, one of the features of its modern is the copy assignment operator that is used with “operator=” to create a new object from an existing one. In this post, we explain an eligible copy assignment operator in C++.
What are classes and objects in C++?
Classes are defined in C++ using keyword class followed by the name of the class. Classes are the blueprint…
C++ is a very decent programming language that has a very strong compiler supported by a big community on a range of different platforms. The C++ language definitions, syntax, and functionality are organized into different standards. Those standards are usually named after…
C++ is a well-established programming language that is supported by a big community for many different computing hardware platforms. The language has a set of standards generally named after the approximate year the standard was adopted, such as C++98, C++11, C++14, C++17…
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 source code written in C++ must be compiled (i.e. translated to the machine code) by one or another compiler such as Embarcadero RAD Studio C++ compilers before in can be runned. In general, there are two types of the resulting machine code: library and main executable…
The posts General Loop Statements in Modern C++ and Range-for-statement in modern C++ cover ways to write explicit loops. But explicit loops can be tedious to write and, what is more important, – harder to read, because the resulting code requires to spend the extra…
Each loop statement in C++ has its loop body which is executed repeatedly until the loop condition expression that yields a loop condition becomes false (otherwise, the loop will run “forever”). The statement continue can be used to interrupt the current iteration and skip the rest of the loop body to immediately check the loop condition before continuing. A whole loop statement can be…
