C++ Core Guidelines: Rules for Allocating and Deallocating
The guidelines have six rules for explicit memory allocation and deallocation. Six! Maybe you are surprised because there is a simple rule in modern C++: don’t use new and delete. The story is not so simple.
C++ Core Guidelines: Rules about Resource Management
This and the following posts will probably be about the most critical concern in programming: resource management. The C++ Core Guidelines have rules for resource management in general but also rules for allocation and deallocation and smart pointers in particular. Today I will begin with the general rules of resource management.
C++ Core Guidelines: Rules for Enumerations
The section to enumerations has eight rules. Since C++11, we have scoped enumerations which overcome a lot of the drawbacks of classical enumerations.
Which pdf bundle should I provide? Make your choice!
Now, it’s time to choose the next pdf bundle? You will get all posts, all source files, and a cmake file to the chosen topic.
C++ Core Guidelines: Rules for Unions
A union is a particular data type where all members start at the same address. A union can hold only one type at a time; therefore, you can save memory. A tagged union is a union that keeps track of its types.
C++ Core Guidelines: More Rules for Overloading
I started the last post on my journey through the rules for overloading functions and operators. Let me continue and finish my journey with this post.
C++ Core Guidelines: Rules for Overloading and Overload Operators
