Overview

TO DO:

Constant expressions (const and constexpr) (10.4)
- A class with a constexpr constructor is called a literal type.
Implicit type conversion (10.5)
nothrow forms of new and delete (11.2.4)
initializer lists
“using” for type aliases

- try/catch

Miscellany

using {} for initialization instead of =
- catches narrowing conversions like “int a {3.14};”
“auto” type deduction from initializer, “auto b = true”
“constexpr” as long as expression really is a constant (eventually)
- “constexpr int i = square(?)”
- any functions invoked must also be declared as “constexpr”
declared size of array must be constant expression
range-for-statement (for any sequence of elements)
- int v[] = {1,2,3,4,5};
- for (auto x : v)
- for (auto x : {1,2,3,4,5})
- for (auto& x : v) { ++x; }
references in declarations
kinds of classes
- concrete
- abstract

Standard library

std::list
std::string

Coding style

use “const” as much as possible, to qualify class methods
functions defined in a class are inlined by default
define non-member routines if they don't need access to the class
