The parentheses are not necessary when a lambda has no arguments.

[something]() { ::: }

can become:

[something] { ::: }

KWin uses both of these from what I've seen. Personally, I prefer the second.

Otherwise, +1 for the change.

Use lambdas instead of std::bind()

Why?

Qt coding style mandates the first

@davidedmundson

Lambdas are generally faster to compile and execute. std::bind can make code less verbose, but that is not the case here (I'd say that lambdas win on succinctness here).

@bruns

Well... Qt has quite a few strange guidelines that we don't follow :) (p.s. I'm not against it going in with the parentheses, just making a note)

@davidedmundson

Lambdas are more readable.

std::bind can be hard to read and can result in larger object files and binaries due to type information that will not be produced by equivalent lambdas.
