Argument-Dependent Lookup and the Hidden Friend Idiom
by Rainer Grimm
From the article:
Have you ever wondered why the following program works?
#include <iostream> int main() { std::cout << "Hello world"; }Why should the program not work? The overloaded output operator
operator<<is defined in thestdnamespace. The question is, therefore: How is the appropriate overloaded output operator forstd::stringfound? You may already assume it...

Making C++ primitive types meaningfully movable when they have sentinel values
by Raymond Chen
From the article:
C++ primitive types do not have special semantics for move constructor or move assignment. Their move operations are just copies. But what if you really want them to move, say, because they have a sentinel value that represents an "empty" state...?

Getting in trouble with mixed construction
by Barry Revzin
From the article:
Several years ago, I wrote a post about the complexities of implementing comparison operators for
optional<T>: Getting in trouble with mixed comparisons. That post was all about how, even just for==, making a few seemingly straightforward decisions leads to an ambiguity that different libraries handle differently.Now is a good time to circle back to that same idea, except this time instead of talking about equality comparison, we’re just going to talk about construction. This post is going to work through a bunch of cases of trying to construct an object of type
Xfrom an object of typeY...

Writing Functors with Boost.Lambda2
by Richard Thomson
From the video description:
Lots of standard algorithms require some sort of 'functor' or 'function object' in order to apply predicates and transforming functions to values. This makes the algorithms generic, but requires you to write your own function object classes or lambda functions, which can get a little noisy in the syntax.
Boost.Lambda2 is a library that allows you write lambda functions that look like simple expressions with placeholders for the arguments.
This month, Richard Thomson will give us a breakdown of the Lambda2 library in Boost that makes writing function objects simple and readable. We'll see how to use them with common standard algorithms before looking a little more deeply into how this library is implemented.

Partial function application
by Rainer Grimm
From the article:
A few weeks ago, I had a discussion with a few of my readers. One reader said that I should write about Partial Function Applications. Another reader mentioned that C++ does not support function applications. This is wrong. C++ supports Partial Function Application. Consequently, I am writing today about
std::function,std::bind,std::bind_front, lambdas,auto, and currying.Let me start with a bit of theory...
