Think you know C++? Think again.
For decades, C++ has been clouded by myths and misunderstandings-from its early design decisions to misconceptions that still linger today. Claims like "C++ is too hard to learn" or "C++ is obsolete" are often rooted in some truth, but they are outdated and fail to capture the language's ongoing evolution and modern capabilities.
Written by industry veterans with over 40 years of combined experience, this book uncovers the myths, exploring their origins and relevance in the context of today's C++ landscape. It equips you with a deeper understanding of advanced features and best practices to elevate your projects. Each chapter tackles a specific misconception, shedding light on C++'s modern features, such as smart pointers, lambdas, and concurrency. You'll learn practical strategies to navigate common challenges like code portability and compiler compatibility, as well as how to incorporate modern best practices into your C++ codebase to optimize performance and future-proof your projects.
By the end of this book, you'll have a comprehensive understanding of C++'s evolution, equipping you to make informed decisions and harness its powerful features to enhance your skills, coding practices, and projects.
What you will learnComprehend the history of C++ and the design decisions that shape modern challengesMaster program flow and its underlying principles to resolve issues effectivelyTackle incompatibility across compilers and platforms with easeIdentify issues and avoid writing code that may lead to undefined behaviorExplore advanced C++ features not typically covered in academiaAddress concerns about compiler code generation and optimizationsUnderstand why undefined behavior remains intentionally undefinedWho this book is for
This book is for intermediate-to-advanced C++ developers looking to deepen their understanding of the language's complexities. It is perfect for coders eager to avoid common mistakes, hackers, scholars with a sense of humor, or anyone with an interest in C++. Programmers who want to expand their knowledge, refine existing skills, explore new paradigms, or dive into the nuances of C++, will find valuable insights.
