Developing a large-scale software system in C++ requires more than
just a sound understanding of the logical design issues covered in
most books on C++ programming. To be successful, you will also need
a grasp of physical design concepts that, while closely tied to the
technical aspects of development, include a dimension with which
even expert software developers may have little or no experience.
This is the definitive book for all C++ software professionals
involved in large development efforts such as databases, operating
systems, compilers, and frameworks. It is the first C++ book that
actually demonstrates how to design large systems, and one of the
few books on object-oriented design specifically geared to
practical aspects of the C++ programming language.
In this book, Lakos explains the process of decomposing large
systems into physical (not inheritance) hierarchies of smaller,
more manageable components. Such systems with their acyclic
physical dependencies are fundamentally easier and more economical
to maintain, test, and reuse than tightly interdependent systems.
In addition to explaining the motivation for following good
physical as well as logical design practices, Lakos provides you
with a catalog of specific techniques designed to eliminate cyclic,
compile-time, and link-time (physical) dependencies. He then
extends these concepts from large to very large systems. The book
concludes with a comprehensive top-down approach to the logical
design of individual components. Appendices include a valuable
design pattern "Protocol Hierarchy" designed to avoid fat
interfaces while minimizing physical dependencies; the details of
implementing an ANSI C compatible C++procedural interface; and a
complete specification for a suite of UNIX-like tools to extract
and analyze physical dependencies. Practical design rules,
guidelines, and principles are also collected in an appendix and
indexed for quick reference.
