Includes topics and techniques specifically related to features added in C++11.
Consider this very typical piece of C/C++ code for creating an array of integers from a list of specified values (called a braced initializer):
const int[] someInts = {23, 10, 5, 17};This is simple and works well where a plain int array is needed, but sometimes we want to do something similar with STL containers.
C++11 introduced some features which make working with STL containers much easier. One common situation is the need to iterate over a container and to perform some operation(s) on each item. Consider the following typical example:
std::vector<SomeType> container;// ...for(std::vector<SomeType>::iterator iter = container.begin();iter != container.end();++iter){const SomeType& item = *iter;// ...}
This syntax has a couple of drawbacks:
iter
