Safe C++: How to avoid common mistakes
<div><p>It’s 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, you’ll learn about many common coding errors that C++ programmers produce, along with rules and strategies you can use to avoid them.</p><p>Author Vladimir Kushnir shows you how to use his Safe C++ library, based in part on programming practices developed by the C++ community. You’ll not only find recipes for identifying errors during your program’s compilation, runtime, and testing phases, you’ll learn a comprehensive approach for making your C++ code safe and bug-free.</p><ul><li>Get recipes for handling ten different error types, including memory leaks and uninitialized variables</li><li>Discover problems C++ inherited from C, like pointer arithmetic</li><li>Insert temporary and permanent sanity checks to catch errors at runtime</li><li>Apply bug prevention techniques, such as using separate classes for each data type</li><li>Pursue a testing strategy to hunt and fix one bug at a time—before your code goes into production</li></ul></div>
