Channel: CppNow
Date: 2012-06-08

Leor's talk from the 2012 C++Now! conference

In this abbreviated introduction to C++11, Leor Zolman quickly surveys many of the key additions to the language itself, including support for

1) increased code clarity (lambdas, uniform initialization, auto),
2) improved performance (rvalue references and move constructors),
3) multithreading (concurrency and atomic types).

Also covered will be a few miscellaneous new convenience features and a look at some of the new standard library components (smart pointers and new STL containers).
