Is there an equivalent of Python's `pass` in c++ std11?

Question

I want a statement that does nothing but can be used in places requiring a statement. Pass: http://docs.python.org/release/2.5.2/ref/pass.html

Edit: Just saw: How do

Answer 1

No. You don't have pass or equivalent keyword. But you can write equivalent code without any such keyword.

def f():
   pass

becomes

void f() {}

and

 class C:
     pass

becomes

 class C {};

In different context, different syntax could be useful. For example,

 class MyError(Exception):
        pass

becomes

class MyError : public std::exception
{
      using std::exception::exception; //inherits constructor!
};

As you can see, in this context, you've to write using to inherits constructors from the base class. In Python, pass does the similar thing, in similar context.

Hope that helps.
