Advanced C++ Programming Cookbook

A recipe-based guide to refining your C++ programming skills with the help of coding best practices advanced programming concepts and the latest features of C++17 and C++20Key FeaturesLearn how to develop and design your own librariesFind solutions to your app development problems and implement them in a highly reusable manner following library development best practicesExplore advanced C++ features such as containers coroutines and modulesBook DescriptionIf you think you''ve mastered C++ and know everything it takes to write robust applications you''ll be in for a surprise. With this book you''ll gain comprehensive insights into C++ covering exclusive tips and interesting techniques to enhance your app development process.You''ll kick off with the basic principles of library design and development which will help you understand how to write reusable and maintainable code. You''ll then discover the importance of exception safety and how you can avoid unexpected errors or bugs in your code. The book will take you through the modern elements of C++ such as move semantics type deductions and coroutines. As you advance you''ll delve into template programming - the standard tool for most library developers looking to achieve high code reusability. You''ll explore the STL and learn how to avoid common pitfalls while implementing templates. Later you''ll learn about the problems of multithreaded programming such as data races deadlocks and thread starvation. You''ll also learn high-performance programming by using benchmarking tools and libraries. Finally you''ll discover advanced techniques for debugging and testing to ensure code reliability.By the end of this book you''ll have become an expert at C++ programming and will have gained the skills to solve complex development problems with ease.What you will learnSolve common C++ development problems by implementing solutions in a more generic and reusable wayAchieve different levels of exception safety guarantees by introducing precise declarationsWrite library-quality code that meets professional standardsPractice writing reliable performant code that exposes consistent behavior in programsUnderstand why you need to implement design patterns and how its doneWork with complex examples to understand various aspects of good library designWho this book is forThis book is for intermediate and expert-level C++ developers who are looking to explore the lesser known functionalities of the language to improve the efficiency of their code and the way they develop applications. Basic knowledge of object-oriented programming concepts and the Standard Template Library (STL) is assumed.
