The C++17 standard is now complete and this vintage programming language is expected to ship soon. This major update aims to make C++ an easier language to work with and brings powerful technical specifications. New standards are introducing new features like structured bindings and if initialisers, making this vintage programming language “feature complete”.
f you are fond of the relatively newer programming languages like Apple’s Swift, you might be too comfortable calling C++ a bloated programming language. To tackle such questions and improve the support for large-scale software, C++17 is expected to ship later this year.
C++17 has become a major release just like C++98 and C++11. ISO C++ standards member Herb Sutter recently shared his report from the standards meeting and told that C++17 is now complete.
The new C++ 17 standards are introducing new features like structured bindings and if initialisers, making this vintage programming language “feature complete”.
The C++ community is calling C++17 the start of a new era that will bring powerful technical specifications. The non-C++17 features will be released later as add-ons in future releases.
Here’s the list of the most notable features coming to C++:
- C++17 is based on C11
- Dynamic memory allocation for over-aligned data
- Guaranteed copy elision
- Forward process guarantees (FPG)
- Structured bindings
- if (init; condition) and switch (init; condition)
- constexpr if
- Inline variables
- A weaker version of fixed order-of-evaluation for expressions
- Template argument deduction for class templates
- Addition of std::byte type
You can head over to GitHub and get the full details of the new changes coming with C++17.
I know it’s possible that many people were expecting more. But, to me, this feature list that consists of parallel algorithm libraries and fold expressions looks very impressive.
Overall, C++17 is a major update that consists of tons of smaller features that are expected to help make this language more readable.
