100 C++ Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

Learn how to handle errors, inefficiencies, and outdated paradigms by exploring the most common mistakes you';ll find in production C++ code.

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 technology:   Over ten billion lines of C++ code are running in production applications, and 98-developers find and fix mistakes in them every day. Even mission-critical applications have bugs, performance inefficiencies, and readability problems. This book will help you identify them in the code you';re maintaining and avoid them in the code you';re writing.
