Covering the facets of C++ programming, this book discusses: design and coding style, functions, operators, class design, inheritance, construction/destruction, copying, assignment, namespaces, modules, templates, genericity, exceptions, and STL containers and algorithms. Each standard is described concisely, with practical examples.
Software "style" is about finding the perfect balance between overhead and functionality... elegance and maintainability... flexibility and excess. In Exceptional C++ Style , legendary C++ guru Herb Sutter presents 40 new programming scenarios designed to analyze not only the what but the why and help you find just the right balance in your software. Organized around practical problems and solutions, this book offers new insight into crucial C++ details and interrelationships, and new strategies for today's key C++ programming techniques--including generic programming, STL, exception safety, and more. You'll find answers to questions Exceptional C++ Style will help you design, architect, and code with style--and achieve greater robustness and performance in all your C++ software.
"The puzzles and problems in Exceptional C++ not only entertain, they will help you hone your skills to become the sharpest C++ programmer you can be. - Many of these problems are culled from the famous Guru of the Week feature of the Internet newsgroup comp.lang.c++, moderated, expanded and updated to conform to the official ISO/ANSI C++ Standard."--BOOK JACKET. - "Try your skills against the C++ masters and come away with the insight and experience to create more efficient, effective, robust, and portable C++ code."--Jacket.
