Ten C++11 Features Every C++ Developer Should Use

by Marius Bancila

This article discusses a series of features new to C++11 that all developers should learn and use. There are lots of new additions to the language and the standard library, and this article barely scratches the surface. However, I believe some of these new features should become routine for all C++ developers. You could probably find many similar articles evangelizing different C++11 features. This is my attempt to assemble a list of C++ features that should be a norm nowadays. Table of contents:

• auto
• nullptr
• Range-based for loops
• Override and final
• Strongly-typed enums
• Smart pointers
• Lambdas
• non-member begin() and end()
• static_assert and type traits
• Move semantics
