Product Description
Product Description
C++ Gotchas is the latest addition to the distinguished roster of Addison-Wesley's bestselling programming titles, such as Effective C++ and Exceptional C++. While appealing to the same broad audience of intermediate C++ programmers, this book has a completely different approach. The author presents 99 "gotchas" - common and preventable problems in C++ programming and design. The gotchas run the gamut from minor syntactic annoyances to basic design flaws to psychological behavior. The material has been selected based on the author's extensive experience presenting gotchas in his training classes, speaking engagements, and magazine articles. By learning the lessons in this book C++ programmers will save themselves much time and wasted effort. C++ Gotchas is destined to become an invaluable reference to many programmers.
From the Back Cover
"This may well be the best C++ book I have ever read. I was surprised by the amount I learned."
--Matthew Wilson, Development Consultant, Synesis Software
C++ Gotchas is the professional programmer's guide to avoiding and correcting ninety-nine of the most common, destructive, and interesting C++ design and programming errors. It also serves as an inside look at the more subtle C++ features and programming techniques.
This book discusses basic errors present in almost all C++ code, as well as complex mistakes in syntax, preprocessing, conversions, initialization, memory and resource management, polymorphism, class design, and hierarchy design. Each error and its repercussions are explained in context, and the resolution of each problem is detailed and demonstrated.
Author Stephen Dewhurst supplies readers with idioms and design patterns that can be used to generate customized solutions for common problems. Readers will also learn more about commonly misunderstood features of C++ used in advanced programming and design. A companion Web site, located at http://www.semantics.org, includes detailed code samples from the book.
Readers will discover:
- How to escape both common and complex traps associated with C++
- How to produce more reusable, maintainable code
- Advanced C++ programming techniques
- Nuances of the C++ language
C++ Gotchas shows how to navigate through the greatest dangers in C++ programming, and gives programmers the practical know-how they need to gain expert status.

Does this sound a bit familiar? Well, yeah, there's substantial overlap with books by Scott Meyers and Herb Sutter, so not every item is a revelation. That said, C++ is sufficiently complicated that I can do with all the help I can get.
However, there isn't any material on templates here, and there's quite a lot of overlap with the author's subsequent book, 'C++ Common Knowledge', which I consider to be superior to this one. So while this is a perfectly good book, I would point you towards C++ Common Knowledge.
