Mastering C++ Programming

Summary

In this chapter, you got to know interesting new features introduced in C++17. You learned the super simple C++17 nested namespace syntax. You also learned datatype detection with a braced initializer list and the new rule imposed in the C++17 standard.

You also noticed that static_assert can be done without assert failure messages. Also, using std::invoke(), you can now invoke global functions, function pointers, member functions, and static class member functions.
