Hello,
I am refreshing my C++ proficiency, and am encouraged by the standards
of recent years, particularly 0x if not also 11.
Question: as I work through the standards and apply them in our
application, what features can I leverage today, and should I steer
clear from?
For instance, it seems that lambdas and expressions are fairly well up
to date? Meanwhile, threading, concurrency help not so much?
I believe we will also need Boost, for those of you who do use this,
as an augmentation fill in the gaps where the language needs help?
BTW, I have successfully updated my GCC tool chain from 4.4.3 to
4.7.2. Looking forward to 4.8, but interested to use what I can from
up through 4.7 meanwhile.
Thank you...
Regards,
Michael Powell
