lambda - Advanced C++ multiple parentheses
Answer
Answer
I'm reviewing a sample program code and found this line:
auto prerequisite = task([](){});
What is the meaning of those combined parentheses ([](){})
I'm a cpp programmer but do not know advance cpp (c11+) which this Microsoft example is written at. Googling didn't help, and I don't know the name of those operators.
Answer
[](){} is a lambda expression that creates a function object that has non-zero size and does nothing.
This is probably to avoid checking whether prerequisite is valid/exists - it is always valid, but may do nothing.
