C++0x

Apr 23, 2011 at 10:12am

Hello everyone! The new C++ standard, called c++0x which will (probably) be released this year, will it drastically change the language? Like, will I need to kind of learn C++ again?

Short answer: No, C++ will remain C++.
Long (but short) answer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%2B%2B0x

You should definitely look into C++0x though, I find most features I have read about til now quite useful (especially auto, inbuilt lambda expressions and more general initializer lists), though I haven't read too much into it myself.

So there's no changes, only additions?

There are changes, but nothing code breaking.
