C++ Lambda Week: Some Tricks

We’re on the last day of the lambda week. We have all the essential knowledge, and now we can learn some tricks!

C++ Lambda Week: Going Generic

We’re in the third day of the lambda week. So far, you’ve learned basic syntax and how to capture things. Another important aspect is that lambdas can also be used in the “generic” scenarios. This is especially possible since C++14 where we got generic lambdas (auto arguments), and then in C++20, you can even specify a template lambda!

C++ Lambda Week: Capturing Things

We’re in the second day of the lambda week. Today you’ll learn about the options you have when you want to capture things from the external scope. Local variables, global, static, variadic packs, this pointer… what’s possible and what’s not?

Lambda Week: Syntax changes, C++11 to C++20

Let’s start the week with Lambda Expressions. The plan is to have a set of concise articles presenting core elements of lambda expressions. Today you can see how the syntax has evolved since C++11 and what the latest changes in C++20 are.

C++ Lambda Story is 100% Complete

I’m pleased to announce that I’ve finished the work on the latest update for C++ Lambda Story! This makes the book complete now, and I can finally set its status to 100%! Read on to see the latest changes. It got more than 50 new pages!

See My Talk: Empty Base Class Optimisation, [[no_unique_address]] and other C++20 Attributes

Last Tuesday, 21th July, I had a pleasure to talk about [[no_unique_address]] on our Cracow C++ User Group online meeting.

Here are the slides and additional comments from the presentation.

5 Curious C++ Lambda Examples: Recursion, constexpr, Containers and More

Please have a look at my quick blog post where I’ll show you a few interesting lambda examples. Do you know how to write a recursive lambda? Store them in a container? Or invoke at compile time?

See in the article

Polymorphic Allocators, std::vector Growth and Hacking

The concept of a polymorphic allocator from C++17 is an enhancement to standard allocators from the Standard Library.

It’s much easier to use than a regular allocator and allows containers to have the same type while having a different allocator, or even a possibility to change allocators at runtime.

Let’s see how we can use it and hack to see the growth of std::vector containers.

The C++ Lambda Story Book

Lambda Expressions appeared in C++11, and since then they become one of the most distinguishing features of Modern C++. What’s more, with each revision of the Standard the ISO Committee improved the syntax and capabilities of lambdas, so they are even more comfortable to use.

Read on to see how you can learn all the details of this powerful modern C++ feature.

C++ Lambdas, Threads, std::async and Parallel Algorithms

In articles about lambda expression (like this one from last week on my page), it’s easy to show examples where the lambda runs on the same thread as the caller. But how about asynchronous cases? What if your lambda is called on a separate thread? What problems you might encounter there.

Read on and let’s explore this topic.

5 Advantages of C++ Lambda Expressions and How They Make Your Code Better

[](){}

The mixture of brackets in the preceding line become one of the most noticeable indications of Modern C++.
Yep.
Lambda Expressions!
It might sound like I’m trying to create a new blog post about something that everyone knows. Is that true? Do you know all the details of this modern C++ technique?

In this article, you’ll learn five advantages of Lambdas. Let’s start.

Spaceship Generator for May the 4th in C++ - Results!

Two weeks ago, I announced a little game on my blog! Today I’d like to present some of the solutions you sent me and discuss a few things from various aspects of Modern C++.

Spaceship Generator for May the 4th in C++ - Enter The Game!

4th May is the Star Wars Day so why not join the celebration and build some space ships? Of course in C++ :)

Read on and see how to join the game and get a chance to win some extras!

How to Use C++ for Azure Storage

Blob storage is an object storage service you use in Azure. It is designed for storing large volumes of unstructured data, including text, binary data, images, and text. In this service, your data is stored in containerized blobs with a directory-like structure. You can use blob storage to ensure flexible access to storage, high availability, and data consistency. Read on to learn how you can use C++ with Azure storage.
