Inside the C++ Object Model focuses on the underlying mechanisms that support object-oriented programming within C++: constructor semantics, temporary generation, support for encapsulation, inheritance, and "the virtuals"--virtual functions and virtual inheritance. This book shows how your understanding the underlying implementation models can help you code more efficiently and with greater confidence. Lippman dispells the misinformation and myths about the overhead and complexity associated with C++, while pointing out areas in which costs and trade offs, sometimes hidden, do exist. He then explains how the various implementation models arose, points out areas in which they are likely to evolve, and why they are what they are. He covers the semantic implications of the C++ object model and how that model affects your programs.
HighlightsIf you are a C++ programmer who desires a fuller understanding of what is going on "under the hood," then Inside the C++ Object Model is for you!

The tests showing the results of optimisation, using abstract data types, and inheritance, provide useful arguments, and justification for using C++ structures, over limitting projects to C for perceived effieciency reasons.
Not the fist book you should buy on C++, but an essential read if you like to gain insight into the underlying models, to build systems more effectively.
Problem areas however are: * Cursory explanation of how templates, RTTI and exceptions are... Read more
