Attributes in C++11/C++14

Explore how standardized attributes in C++11 and C++14, such as noreturn and deprecated, help improve code readability and compiler diagnostics. Understand their syntax and practical uses for annotating functions, structs, and more.

Specifying Annotations in C++11

C++11 took one big step to minimize the need to use vendor specific syntax. By introducing the standard format, we can move a lot of compiler-specific attributes to the universal set.

C++11 provides a cleaner format of specifying annotations over our code.

The basic syntax is just [[attr]] or ...
