C++11 - Right angle bracket

In C++03 ">>" is always interpreted as right shift operator. It causes problem for nested template declaration like here:
In above example for C++03 we have compilation error because of unintended interpretation of ">>". Compiler interpret it as right shift operator - not like two nested vectors. Proper syntax in above situation should include space character between two ">" characters closing nested templates like here:
It it not very comfortable and sometimes causes problems with finding reason of compilation error. Fortunately, C++11 standard solves that problem. It implements proper interpretation of nested templates without space between two right angle operators ">". Therfore in C++11 following syntax:
is properly interprated as two nested vectors.

    I like that change very much. It was very anoying syntax for nested templates in previous C++ version.

QT - foreach algoriithm with const references performance improvement

Today I would like to show you optimal way of using foreach QT algorithm . I will show you why we should pass elements of foreach algorithm by const reference instead of passing them by value. Let me explain it on the below example: Output of this example is: In point I we are creating 3 objects of MyClass class and push them to myClasses QList element. In point II we are using QT foreach algorithm to invoke getValue() method for each object from myClasses list. As you can see on output text for that part of code we are invoking copy constructor before and destructor after invoking getValue() function. It is because we are passing each myClasses list element to foreach algorithm by value. Therefore we are copying that element at the beginning of foreach loop step and removing them (destructing) at the end. This is inefficient solution, especially when class of object being copied is big. It decreases performance. of our application. Solution for that i...

Advanced C++ - Compiler generated functions

When we define some class in our C++ code, compiler is generating some important functions for our class (unless we define it explicitly). Those functions (sometimes called Compiled Generated Functions ) are:  default constructor   destructor   copy constructor   copy assignment operator  During compilation, compiler knows our code and classes usage, so when we are using one of above functions implicitly, it generate that function implicitly for us in the class body. For better explenation, let's see the example below: In point (I) we are defining class TestClass . This class seems to be empty. However we are implicitly using following function in main class:  point III - we are implicitly using defualt constructor in order to create instance of TestClass - default constructor of TestClass is implicitly generated by compiler   point IV - we are using copy constructor of TestClass in order to copy instance to...
