100 C++ Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

Synopsis

Learn how to handle errors, inefficiencies, and outdated paradigms by exploring the most common mistakes you&’ll find in production C++ code.100 C++ Mistakes and How To Avoid Them reveals the problems you&’ll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. About the book 100 C++ Mistakes and How To Avoid Them presents practical techniques to improve C++ code, from legacy applications to modern codebases that use C++ 11 and beyond. Author Rich Yonts provides a concrete example to illustrate each issue, along with a step-by-step walkthrough for improving readability, effectiveness, and performance. Along the way, you&’ll even learn how and where to replace outdated patterns and idioms with modern C++. What's inside • Design solid classes • Resource allocation/deallocation issues • Compile and runtime problems • Replace C-style idioms with proper C++ About the reader Covers C++ 98 through 23, with an emphasis on diagnosing and improving legacy code. About the author Rich Yonts is a Senior Software Engineer at Teradata and a long-time software engineer using C++, Java, and Python. He has held a number of technical and leadership roles during his many years at IBM and Sony.
