C++14 Generic Lambdas from First Principles

Speaker: Arthur O'Dwyer

Abstract: We'll start with the implementation of C-style functions, then move to overloading, function templates, non-static member functions, C++11 lambdas, and then demystify C++14 generic ("auto") lambdas. Finally, we'll detour into the implementation of std::function and std::bind to show how they're different from lambdas.
