With the release of the C++11 standard, C++ finally obtained its own enum type declarations. Dubbed “enum classes”, these new enums type define a namespace for the discrete values they…Continue readingC++11 Enum Classes

One of the biggest features introduced in C++11 are lambda expressions. Lamba expressions (or “lambdas”) are a powerful mechanism that allows defining functions “on-the-fly”. These can be stored in function…Continue readingFunction Objects using Variadic Templates in C++11

Last week we started discussing C++11’s new Variadic Templates. In that article I showed you how to declare a function initialized by a Variadic Template that returns the number of…Continue readingVariadic Templates in C++ 11 (Part 2 of 2)

This week we are continuing with the C++11 saga, moving on to a new feature called “Variadic Templates”. Inspired by the concept of Variadic Functions in C, the idea behind…Continue readingVariadic Templates in C++11 (Part 1 of 2)

Last week we talked about the problem with passing objects around in the 2003 C++ standard, and mentioned how the new move semantics in C++11 could help us avoid expensive…Continue readingMove Semantics in C++11 (Part 2 of 2)

Continuing with the C++11 saga, this week I’ve been playing with move semantics. In this post I share my findings regarding using it on Apple’s Clang version 4.0. Move semantics…Continue readingMove Semantics in C++11 (Part 1 of 2)

Last week I introduced an article where I tested C++11 support in Apple’s version of the clang compiler (Apple clang 4.0). As you may remember, after conducting some tests, I…Continue readingC++11 Iterators and Lambdas (Revisited)

I have been following the new C++ standard for quite some time (even before it was named C++11), so I’m very glad to see support for it reaching mainstream compilers…Continue readingPlaying with C++11 (using Clang)
