Same function with and without template
The main reason to do something like this is to specialize void integerA(int x) to do something else. That is, if the programmer provides as input argument an int to member function abc::integerA then because of the C++ rules instead of instantiating the template member function the compiler would pick...
C++ lambda, not seeing function and argument?

Why is erasing via a const_iterator allowed in C++11?
erase and insert are non-const member functions of the collection. Non-const member functions are the right way to expose mutating operations. The constness of the arguments are irrelevant; they aren't being used to modify anything. The collection can be modified because the collection is non-const (held in the hidden this...

c++ vector bubble sort
You need to pass by reference; by making a copy, you sort a temporary copy, and then that's it; it disappears and the original is still unsorted, because, once again, you sorted only a temporary copy of the entire vector. So change vector<int> a to vector<int>& a. Here's the code,...
Why do the const accessors of std::string return a reference?
c++,c++11,stl,language-design,stdstring
Because the caller might want a reference to the char, that reflects any changes made to it through non-const avenues. std::string str = "hello"; char const& front_ref = static_cast<std::string const&>(str).front(); str[0] = 'x'; std::cout << front_ref; // prints x ...

Two options: 1) You can simply fix your test. You just need in you test preallocate enough memory first with vec1.reserve(10); Well, this is implementation details for std::vector. As more and more items are added to std::vector it needs to get more space for them. And this space must be...

How can I pass unique_ptr into a function
There's basically two options here: Pass the smart pointer by reference void MyFunc(unique_ptr<A> & arg) { cout << arg->GetVal() << endl; } int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { unique_ptr<A> ptr = unique_ptr<A>(new A(1234)); MyFunc(ptr); } Move the smart pointer into the function argument Note that in this case, the assertion...
What does (&) — ampersand in parentheses — mean in this code?
It's shorthand for something like this: template <typename T, size_t N> constexpr size_t size_of(T (&anonymous_variable)[N]) { return N; } In the function, you don't actually need the name of the variable, just the template deduction on N - so we can simply choose to omit it. The parentheses are syntactically...
Can't compile C++11 source using GCC 5.1 toolchain
You're not doing anything wrong. The library's source is missing an #include <memory>. This is simply an unfortunate error by the author of the library.

Finding all keys that correspond to same value in std::unordered_map
I think the "obvious" way is excellent: it is simple, short and easy to read. Another option is to use stl algorithms. What you need is transform_if algorithm so you can say: std::transform_if(std::begin(theMap), std::end(theMap), std::back_inserter(arrKeys), check_value, get_value); but there is no such in stl.

Configuring Flycheck to work with C++11
Flycheck provides the option flycheck-gcc-language-standard for this purpose.

No match for 'operator*' error
As @101010 hints at: pay is a string, while hours_day is a float, and while some languages allow you to multiply strings with integers, c++11 (or any other flavor of c) doesn't, much less allow strings and floats to be multiplied together.

Why is the boolean value within a structure within a vector not being updated?
This: auto student_to_check = *it; declares a local variable that is a copy of the structure in the vector.

Since std::unique_ptr is not copyable, class Foo does not have a valid copy constructor.

Not quite. Only prestandard C++ (before the 1998 ANSI standard which became the ISO standard) behaves as you describe for "old C++".

Why is my code failing to compile? (perfect forwarding and parameter packs)
c++,c++11,perfect-forwarding,variadic-parameter
When a template parameter (or parameter pack) is used in two deduced contexts, deduction is done independently for each and the result must match.

Call template function for the value of a pointer out of a template function, in C++

ThreadPools constructor is using the emplace_back function of std::vector to construct a std::thread to the back of the workers_m variable. emplace_back differs from push_back in that it directly constructs the element type by forwarding the parameters passed to the constructor of the element type (std::thread). push_back, on the other hand,...

When the main exits where does the console output go?
When main exits it calls exit which terminates all threads, regardless detached or not. This is because exit terminates the entire process.

Two issues here. First, only declarations (e.g. variable, class, function) can go in global scope. assert() is not a declaration, that's why you can't do there. That might lead to a workaround to just shove it into a declaration, like: int x = 1; namespace assert_x_is_1 { bool _ =...
need help to search element from vector of struct
A lambda is just a convenience functor that was introduced so that you can write these algorithms simpler. But it's just a convenience. If you can't use them in this case, it's not the end of the world. After all, we couldn't for many many years. The solution is to...
Lock Free Bounded Stack C++11 atomics
c++,multithreading,c++11,stack,lock-free
I'm not an expert in lock free programming, but I'm pretty sure that your code is NOT thread safe. Let's first look at register_idle(): What could happen here is that Thread1 increments idle_pos but before it stores its id, another thread calls wakeup_once and uses an outdated id (in the...
Relationship of std::unique_lock and conditional_variable cond
To start with, your code has a data race (and hence undefined behavior) since if(x == 0) in createFood() accesses x unprotected. Every access to x, both reads and writes, must be protected by the mutex. is it automatically unlocked so that the other thread can access it while waiting?...
c++ internal helper class
In my experience, a lot of dev teams have no problem with static local helper functions, it helps reduce header bloat, helps keep the formally exposed interface smaller, and so forth. It has the advantage of being lightweight, it has the disadvantage that it can lead to friend bloat/pollution if...
Error using range-based for loop - Eclipse CDT Luna
templates,c++11,for-loop,mingw,eclipse-luna
To use a range based for loop you'll need to use std::array instead of C-style array. I modified your code so it works. Note that you'll need to pass -std=c++11 flag to the compiler. #include <array> #include <iostream> using namespace std; template <typename T> void display (T myArray) { int...
Why does C++ allow a semicolon at the start of a line? [duplicate]
This is the C and C++ standards for NOP (short for No Operation). The simplest possible statement in C/C++ that behaves like a NOP is the so-called null statement, which is just a semi-colon in a context requiring a statement. (A compiler is not required to generate a NOP instruction...
C++ vector error C2036: 'int (*)[]' : unknown size
Your problem comes from this line: unique_ptr<vector<int[]>> m_indices; You should use a stl container instead, in this case it could be a vector of vector Also, why would you need a unique_ptr in this case? vectors support move semantics and you could just have a vector<vector<int>> m_indices; An extra hint...
Releasing memory with std::move()?
std::move leaves the moved-from object in a valid but unspecified state. In particular it might stay exactly the way it was before, so while this might actually work with your implementation of the stl, it will certainly not work for all third-party containers. (And might break at any point in...
Mapping const char * to duck-typed T at compile-time or run-time
Fatal allows you to trivially solve the compile time version of your problem using compile-time strings, type maps and type prefix trees. Let's first start with the headers we'll be using: // type_map so we can associated one type to another #include <fatal/type/map.h> // type_prefix_tree for efficient compile-time string lookups...
