The Bridge Pattern
The Bridge Pattern is a structural pattern. It decouples the interface from the implementation. In C++, a simplified version is often used: the Pimpl Idiom.
The Adapter Pattern
The idea of the adapter pattern is straightforward: It converts the interface of a class into another interface.
Five Coupons for the eBook “Template Metaprogramming with C++”
I’m happy to announce that I have five giveaway eBooks for “Template Metaprogramming with C++” by Marius Bancila. In return, I have two questions about templates. The five best answers will get the coupons.
The Singleton: The Alternatives Monostate Pattern and Dependency Injection
So far, I have discussed in my previous posts the Singleton Pattern, and its pros and cons. One question is still open: What alternatives for the Singleton Pattern are available? Today, I write about the Monostate Pattern and Dependency Injection.
Concepts and the Finance Industry
The finance industry is a big user of C++. But as everyone knows, C++ programmers take on a substantial burden of complexity relative to other languages. Why would they do that? In a word: for performance. With C++, you retain full semantic expressiveness without sacrificing any speed. But that complexity can be tough.
The Singleton: Pros and Cons
I introduced in my last post “The Singleton“, the classical Singleton and the so-called Meyers Singleton. The Singleton Pattern is highly controversial. Let me, therefore, discuss in this post the pros and cons of the Singleton.
