C++ [&]() {...} construction

Question

In this article in code sample I have met an unfamiliar for me C++ code construction:

[&]() {/* code here*/}

It looks just like anonymous function or class in Java. Does anyone know what this construction means?

It's a lambda function (an anonymous function that you can define inside another).

There's a pretty good SO post explaining it here. What is a lambda expression in C++11?

Thank you for the answer. Since now I know that this is lambda I can see my question is a duplicate. – scrutari Mar 30 '13 at 10:30
