The Aggregate Member Initialization is one of the features of C++. This feature is improved and modernized with C++11, C++14 and C++20. With this feature, objects can initialize an aggregate member from braced-init-list. In this post, we explain what the aggregate member initialization is and what were the changes to it in modern C++ standards. […]
Impact-Site-Verification: 9054929b-bb39-4974-9313-38176602ccee 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 the generalized lambda capture (init capture) that allows you to specify generalized captures, it allows to use move capture in lambdas. In C++14, lambda expressions are improved by the generalized lambda (generic […]
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, […]
Enhancing the CMake Targets View in Visual Studio Sinem Akinci September 20th, 20231 2 The CMake Targets View in Visual Studio is a view that allows you to visualize your CMake project structure by the CMake targets and build specified target libraries and executables.

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, C++17, and C++20 standards. In C++14, lambda expressions are […]
