You probably know that over time our projects seem to get old and legacy. Code written now might look suspicious five years later. With the standardization of C++11 in 2011, developers coined the term Modern C++. In this article (and the next one) we’ll take a look at…
As a developer, you probably know that parsing C++ source code is very complicated. This is also the reason why there might be fewer good tools for coding assistance than we have in other “lighter” languages.

But, we know the transition for…
