Learn how to handle errors, inefficiencies, and outdated paradigms by exploring the most common mistakes you’ll find in production C++ code.
C++ is a complex and powerful language. With an estimated ten billion lines of C++ code running in production, it’s not hard to find bugs, inefficiencies, and other coding mistakes that slow and snarl even the most mission critical applications. 100 C++ Mistakes and How To Avoid Them reveals the problems you’ll inevitably encounter as you write new C++ code and diagnose legacy applications, along with practical techniques you need to resolve them.
Inside 100 C++ Mistakes and How To Avoid Them you’ll learn how to:
Design solid classes
Minimize resource allocation/deallocation issues
Use new C++ features
Identify the differences between compile and runtime issues
Recognize C-style idioms that miss C++ functionality
Use exceptions well
100 C++ Mistakes and How To Avoid Them gives you practical insights and techniques to improve your C++ coding kung fu. Author Rich Yonts has been using C++ since its invention in the 1980s. This book distills that experience into practical, reusable advice on how C++ programmers at any skill level can improve their code. Unlike many C++ books that concentrate on language theory and toy exercises, this book is loaded with real examples from production codebases.
about the book
100 C++ Mistakes and How To Avoid Them identifies the problems you’ll find in legacy C++ codebases as well as in your own new programs. Author Rich Yonts provides a concrete example of each mistake and a step-by-step walkthrough of the correct code. You’ll learn to consider each mistake from the standpoint of correctness, readability, effectiveness, and performance, and adopt modern programming techniques that can replace older, outdated approaches.
The book focuses on newer developers who inherit existing C++ projects. Understanding why specific mistakes exist helps you know how to detect and avoid writing similar issues. The mistakes start with class design and end with a few modern C++ techniques. Learning these new features should encourage you to improve your inherited code and leave it in a much better state for the next developer.
By the end of this book, you should have a solid understanding of the following:
• Several mistakes that have found their way into existing C++ code and their solutions
• Detecting these and similar problems to prevent writing new mistakes
• Why these issues are mistakes and how to think more correctly about using C++
The book is divided into twelve chapters that progress from class design, through using classes well, to coding in general, and ending with modern C++ techniques.
about the reader
Both beginning and experienced C++ programmers will benefit from these practical tips and advice.
