Use C++11 in source code #35

Closed wonder-sk closed 7 years ago

wonder-sk commented 8 years ago

All interesting features from c++11 have been introduced in compilers we use, so there is no reason not to switch to the newer standard and use the nice new stuff like:

auto - type inference (e.g. great for iterators)
lambda expressions
new safer Qt connect syntax https://woboq.com/blog/cpp11-in-qt5.html
... and much more! :-)

Proper link to new style signals and slots

Also worth noting that Qt >= 5.7 will be c++11 only (https://wiki.qt.io/New_Features_in_Qt_5.7)

I like that new signal and slot style.

Done now, we've switched to c++11 only builds. I don't think we need to keep this task open and instead we can just implement bits of c++11 as required. It shouldn't affect api anyway.
