Riassunto

C++ supports programming-in-the-large, allowing relationships between different parts of a program to be expressed. The scope of C++ programming style therefore goes beyond traditional in-the-small issues which relate to the details of line-by-line coding. This book examines the use of the in-the-large language features of C++, which sometimes confuse even experienced programmers. The author demonstrates that unwarranted use of the more powerful language features may lead to cluttered programs which are harder to comprehend and sometimes less efficient than more straightforward alternatives. Cargill rewrites several programs, using techniques that range from improving consistency to removing redundant inheritance. The presentation simulates a code review, in which readers may independently evaluate and criticize alternative approaches to programming problems, and then compare their analyses with those of the author. Design and coding style rules are distilled from the examples. Understanding and following these rules will help professional programmers design and write better C++ programs.A chapter is devoted to each of the following topics: *abstractions *operator overloading *consistency *wrappers *unnecessary inheritance *efficiency *virtual functions Building on the programming rules introduced in the first seven chapters, Cargill presents a case study in which a single program undergoes repeated transformations that improve its overall quality while reducing its size. The book concludes with a chapter on multiple inheritance. 0201563657B04062001

Informazioni sull?autore

Tom Cargill is a well-regarded expert in C++. While at AT&T Bell Laboratories, Murray Hill, NJ, he was among the first programmers to use C++. He is a columnist for The C++ Journal and The C++ Report, and is also the author of two of Technology Exchange Company's C++ courses. The material for this book was originally developed for tutorials that Cargill has presented at numerous technical conference.

This book examines the use of the in-the-large language features of C++, which sometimes confuse even experienced programmers.

Cargill rewrites several programs, using techniques that range from improving consistency to removing redundant inheritance.

Design and coding style rules are distilled from the examples. Understanding and following these rules will help professional programmers design and write better C++ programs.

A chapter is devoted to each of the following topics:

• abstractions
• operator overloading
• consistency
• wrappers
• unnecessary inheritance
• efficiency
• virtual functions

Building on the programming rules introduced in the first seven chapters, Cargill presents a case study in which a single program undergoes repeated transformations that improve its overall quality while reducing its size. The book concludes with a chapter on multiple inheritance.
