GCC is behind in the race http://gcc.gnu.org/projects/cxx1y.html

Anyone recommends a good book, or any other dense/complete material, on C++11/C++14? I barely got C++11, never really practiced, and I could use a good material to dive deep into it.




For some videos I would recommend Going Native videos (http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/GoingNative/2013)

Also there is The tour of C++ (http://www.stroustrup.com/Tour.html) which offer a fresh start to the language.

But the one book I am waiting for is Effective C++ 11/14 which should coming up next year.


In addition to the Going Native videos, Microsoft's STL wrangler, the conveniently named Stefan T. Lavavej, has a couple of terrific series on the STL itself[1] and the core C++ language[2]. The second course is newer, and thus covers more finalized C++11/14 features.

The more technical videos on Channel 9 are terrific stuff, and hooray for download links! Kudos to Microsoft.

True, Stefan is awesome... C9 is a great source for videos.

Also I forgot to mention C++ and Beyond (http://cppandbeyond.com/video-gallery/)

Likewise! And from your first link there is a sort of preview of Scott Meyers' upcoming book http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/GoingNative/2013/An-Effectiv...


Meyers' presentation slides, with notes, are available and excellent: http://www.artima.com/shop/overview_of_the_new_cpp. They include C++14. It isn't the deep dive, but it's a great overview.


I highly recommend this: http://www.artima.com/shop/overview_of_the_new_cpp

I'm told that political decisions regarding the architecture have greatly hampered gcc's progress, does anybody know if this is the case?

Either way, the better error messages in clang make it worth sticking to.
