General links to C++11 and Qt

Note: as would be expected from those interested in hot new technology, the writers of most of these links demonstrate Silicon Valley levels of extreme optimism. Take this with a grain of salt. There is no such thing as a free lunch.

unique_ptr

Motivation:

Drawbacks: unique_ptr is unable to be copied, and therefore cannot be used inside Qt classes. For example QVector<std::unique_ptr> is invalid, because QVector requires its members can be copied. This makes converting to unique_ptr arduous.

  • Threads (Qt/KDE provide threading support already)
  • shared_ptr (unique_ptr Qt already provides a
  • Local types (mostly for advanced template programming)
