auto specifier
ConceptIn C++11, the `auto` specifier is a language feature that lets the compiler deduce the type of variables and return types from context, improving the readability and maintainability of code. In the SGen verification tool, it is identified as one of the key C++11 enablers alongside lambdas, random number generation libraries, `std::function`, and regular expressions.
