Summary
In this short and entertaining episode, Jason deconstructs the cryptic C++ expression (+[](){})(), which he spotted on a t-shirt at the Code Dive conference. He explains that this is an elaborate way of doing nothing, breaking down each component: an empty lambda, its conversion to a function pointer via the unary plus operator, and finally the immediate invocation of that function pointer. Jason demonstrates how even more complicated variations with additional dereferencing operators still compile and perform the same no-op operation.
