Overview of the New C++ (C++0x) (Presentation Materials)

This PDF document contains the presentation materials from Scott Meyers' three-day training course on C++0x, the next major version of C++. It provides an incisive overview of the most important new language and library features in the remarkably wide-reaching revision of C++ that compiler vendors have already started to support. Specification of the next version of C++ (“C++0x”) is nearing completion, and many compilers (e.g., Visual C++ and Gnu C++) already offer several features from the revised language. And such features! auto-declared variables reduce typing drudgery and syntactic noise; Unicode and threading support address important functionality gaps; and rvalue references and variadic templates facilitate the creation of more efficient, more flexible libraries. The standard library gains resource-managing smart pointers, new containers, additional algorithms, support for regular expressions, and more. Altogether, C++0x offers much more than “old” C++. This intensively technical seminar introduces the most important new features in C++0x and explains how to get the most out of them. Designers and developers who are using, considering using, or wish to know about the expanded capabilities of C++0x. Attendees should be experienced with C++ and comfortable with its primary features (e.g., classes, templates, inheritance, STL, etc.). Familiarity with threading concepts (e.g., threads and mutexes) is helpful, but is not essential.
