Quote:Coming to grips with C++11 and C++14 is more than a matter of familiarizing yourself with the features they introduce (e.g., auto type declarations, move semantics, lambda expressions, and concurrency support). The challenge is learning to use those features effectively-so that your software is correct, efficient, maintainable, and portable. That's where this practical book comes in. It describes how to write truly great software using C++11 and C++14-i.e. using modern C++.
Topics include:
[*]The pros and cons of braced initialization, noexcept specifications, perfect forwarding, and smart pointer make functions
[*]The relationships among std::move, std::forward, rvalue references, and universal references
[*]Techniques for writing clear, correct, effective lambda expressions
[*]How std::atomic differs from volatile, how each should be used, and how they relate to C++'s concurrency API
[*]How best practices in "old" C++ programming (i.e., C++98) require revision for software development in modern C++
Effective Modern C++ follows the proven guideline-based, example-driven format of Scott Meyers' earlier books, but covers entirely new material.
