Consistent, high-quality coding standards improve software quality,
reduce time-to-market, promote teamwork, eliminate time wasted on
inconsequential matters, and simplify maintenance. Now, two of the
world's most respected C++ experts distill the rich collective
experience of the global C++ community into a set of coding
standards that every developer and development team can understand
and use as a basis for their own coding standards.
The authors cover virtually every facet of C++ programming:
design and coding style, functions, operators, class design,
inheritance, construction/destruction, copying, assignment,
namespaces, modules, templates, genericity, exceptions, STL
containers and algorithms, and more. Each standard is described
concisely, with practical examples. From type definition to error
handling, this book presents C++ best practices, including some
that have only recently been identified and standardized-techniques
you may not know even if you've used C++ for years. Along the way,
you'll find answers to questions like What's worth
standardizing--and what isn't? What are the best ways to code for
scalability?What are the elements of a rational error handling
policy? How (and why) do you avoid unnecessary initialization,
cyclic, and definitional dependencies?When (and how) should you use
static and dynamic polymorphism together?How do you practice "safe"
overriding?When should you provide a no-fail swap? Why and how
should you prevent exceptions from propagating across module
boundaries?Why shouldn't you write namespace declarations or
directives in a header file?Why should you use STL vector and
string instead of arrays?How do you choose the right STL search or
sortalgorithm?What rules should you follow to ensure type-safe
code?
Whether you're working alone or with others, "C++ Coding
Standards" will help you write cleaner code--and write it faster,
with fewer hassles and less frustration.
