.. rubric:: oh dear, it burns

- Approved 2011-08-12
- for some time called c++0x
- references: primarily the `wikipedia article`_ on c++11

.. _`wikipedia article`: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%2B%2B11


constexpr
=========

- see example with/without -std=c++0x
- see wiki for limitations
- constructors of user-defined types can be declared constexpr

initializer lists
=================

- see example with/without -std=c++0x
- initializer_list<>
    - constructed, copied, only by ref

type inference
==============

- auto keyword
- decltype

new string literals
===================

- u8"I'm a UTF-8 string."
- u"This is a UTF-16 string."
- U"This is a UTF-32 string."

tuple fun
=========

- #include <tuple>
- make_tuple
- tie

lambdas
=======

- see `c++11 anonymous funcs`_
- [capture](arguments) -> return-type {body}
- capture:
    - [] capture nothing
    - [x, &y] x by value, y by reference
    - [&] any external variable captured by ref
    - [=] any external variable captured by val
    - [&, x] x by val, everything else by ref
    - [=, &x] x by ref, everything else by val

regular expressions and threading
=================================

- this is where the burning starts ...

rvalue
=======

- pass-by-value is deep-copy (usually)
- c++11 adds notion of "move constructor"
    - takes the rvalue ref's stuff and nullifies the rvalue
    - 'safe and invisible' (because it's null, memory is not del'd when it goes
      out of scope)
- rvalue is automatic when using stuff with "move constructor"
- std::move<T>()

Smart Pointers
