Author Rich Yonts has been using C++ since its invention in the 1980s. This book distills that experience into practical, reusable advice on how C++ programmers at any skill level can improve their code. Unlike many C++ books that concentrate on language theory and toy exercises, this book is loaded with real examples from production codebases.About the technologyOver ten billion lines of C++ code are running in production applications, and 98-developers find and fix mistakes in them every day. Even mission-critical applications have bugs, performance inefficiencies, and readability problems. This book will help you identify them in the code you’re maintaining and avoid them in the code you’re writing.About the book100 C++ Mistakes and How To Avoid Them presents practical techniques to improve C++ code, from legacy applications to modern codebases that use C++ 11 and beyond. Author Rich Yonts provides a concrete example to illustrate each issue, along with a step-by-step walkthrough for improving readability, effectiveness, and performance. Along the way, you’ll even learn how and where to replace outdated patterns and idioms with modern C++.What's insideDesign solid classesResource allocation/deallocation issuesCompile and runtime problemsReplace C-style idioms with proper C++About the readerCovers C++ 98 through 23, with an emphasis on diagnosing and improving legacy code.About the authorRich Yonts is a Senior Software Engineer at Teradata and a long-time software engineer using C++, Java, and Python.
