Safe C++ (eBook, ePUB)

How to avoid common mistakes

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Its easy to make lots of programming mistakes in C++in fact, any program over a few hundred lines is likely to contain bugs. With this book, youll learn about many common coding errors that C++ programmers produce, along with rules and strategies you can use to avoid them.Author Vladimir Kushnir shows you how to use his Safe C++ library, based in part on programming practices developed by the C++ community. Youll not only find recipes for identifying errors during your programs compilation, runtime, and testing phases, youll learn a comprehensive approach for making your C++ code safe and bug-free.Get recipes for handling ten different error types, including memory leaks and uninitialized variablesDiscover problems C++ inherited from C, like pointer arithmeticInsert temporary and permanent sanity checks to catch errors at runtimeApply bug prevention techniques, such as using separate classes for each data typePursue a testing strategy to hunt and fix one bug at a timebefore your code goes into production

Autorenporträt

Vladimir Kushnir obtained his Ph. D. in physics at the Institute for Solid State Physics, Academy of Sciences of the USSR. Since that time, Vladimir worked as an experimental physicist, using FORTRAN, C and then C++, while working at Northwestern University and later at the Argonne National Laboratory. He then went to work with Wall Street firms, focusing mostly on calculations called "financial analytics”, and having special interest in taking a calculation and making it run faster, sometimes by an order of magnitude. He lives with his wife Daria in Connecticut and when not programming in C++, enjoys Jazz music and underwater photography in his spare time.
