Idiomatic C++

February 20, 2014

I’ve just uploaded a minimal collection of most wanted and widely accepted idioms and coding conventions for C++ development presented along with examples and comments. The lecture targets performance oriented codes so emphasis is on performance-friendly techniques.

Topics covered:

1. Design issues: idioms and best practices

Resource Aquisition Is Initialization (RAII)
Ownership semantics and smart pointers
Header files: dependencies and decoupling

2. Objects Construction/Destruction/Copying

Designing constructors
Rule Of Three
Transactional programming

3. Namespaces

ADL/Koenig Lookup

4. Static analyzers survey

You can find full presentation materials on Slideshare (and Speaker Deck as well).
