C++ Gotchas: Avoiding Common Problems in Coding and Design

C++ Gotchas: Avoiding Common Problems in Coding and Design By Stephen C. Dewhurst
Publisher: Addison-Wesley Professional 2002 | 352 Pages | ISBN: 0321125185 | CHM | 1 MB

The professional programmer's guide to avoiding and correcting ninety-nine of the most common, destructive, and interesting C++ design and programming errors. Serves as an inside look at the more subtle C++ features and programming techniques.

This book is the result of nearly two decades of minor frustrations, serious bugs, late nights, and weekends spent involuntarily at the keyboard. This collection consists of 99 of some of the more common, severe, or interesting C++ gotchas, most of which I have (I'm sorry to say) experienced personally.The term "gotcha" has a rather cloudy history, and a variety of definitions. For the purposes of this book, we'll define C++ gotchas as common and preventable problems in C++ programming and design. The gotchas described here run the gamut from minor syntactic annoyances to basic design flaws to full-blown sociopathic behavior. Almost ten years ago, I started including notes about individual gotchas in my C++ course material. My feeling was that pointing out these common misconceptions and misapplications in apposition to correct use would have the effect of inoculating the student against them, and help to prevent new generations of C++ programmers from repeating the gotchas of the past. By and large, the approach worked, and I was induced to collect sets of related gotchas together for presentation at conferences. These presentations proved to be popular (misery loves company?) and I was encouraged to write a "gotcha" book.Any discussion of avoiding or recovering from C++ gotchas involves other subjects, most commonly design patterns, idioms, and technical details of C++ language features.This is not a book about design patterns, but we often find ourselves referring to patterns as a means of avoiding or recovering from a particular gotcha. Conventionally, the pattern name is capitalized, as in "Template Method" pattern or "Bridge" pattern. When we mention a pattern, we describe its mechanics briefly if they are simple, but delegate detailed discussion of patterns to works devoted to them. Unless otherwise noted, a fuller description of a pattern, as well as a richer discussion of patterns in general, may be found in Design Patterns.
