C++17 in Breadth (part 1 of 2)
summary
C++17 consolidates roughly 120 accepted proposals with about 200 new library pages and concrete changes: rebinding to C11/Unicode/POSIX/ECMAScript, removals like trigraphs, auto_ptr and random_shuffle, and deprecations (register, deprecated C headers). Key language features are constexpr if, template argument deduction from constructors, and fold expressions plus lambdas that can be constexpr and capture this by copy; library additions include inline variables, [[nodiscard]]/[[fallthrough]]/[[maybe_unused]] attributes, contiguous-iterator guarantees, and “zombie names” for removed symbols.
