Product Description

Product Description
Using techniques developed in the classroom at America Online′s Programmer′s University, Michael Daconta deftly pilots programmers through the intricacies of the two most difficult aspects of C++ programming: pointers and dynamic memory management. Written by a programmer for programmers, this no–nonsense, nuts–and–bolts guide shows you how to fully exploit advanced C++ programming features, such as creating class–specific allocators, understanding references versus pointers, manipulating multidimensional arrays with pointers, and how pointers and dynamic memory are the core of object–oriented constructs like inheritance, name–mangling, and virtual functions.

Covers all aspects of pointers including: pointer pointers, function pointers, and even class member pointers

  • Over 350 source code functions—code on every topic
  • OOP constructs dissected and implemented in C
  • Interviews with leading C++ experts
  • Valuable money–saving coupons on developer products
  • Free source code disk
  • Disk includes: Reusable code libraries—over 350 source code functions you can use to protect and enhance your applications
  • Memory debugger

Read C++ Pointers and Dynamic Memory Management and learn how to combine the elegance of object–oriented programming with the power of pointers and dynamic memory!

4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent roadmap through C++ mamory management hazards., 14 Dec 1998
By A Customer
This is an excellent reference for any project manager, architect or programmer who intends to manage, design or implement C++ applications. Mr. Daconta does a tremendous job of describing C++ copy semantics and the reasons for developing good copy semantics. Included in the explanation is a discussion of different compilers and their handling of coppy constructors. Examples of copy constructors and assignment operators are superior.

His in depth discussions of memory management and the tasks to be performed to ensure C++ program reliablity are essential knowledge for anyone planning to pursue a C++ implementation. Excellent code examples with explanations.

3.0 out of 5 stars Examples were too long and code explainations were too short, 29 Sep 1998
By A Customer
The book was OK, but the examples were too long. After suffering through the long code examples to understand them, I found that they were usually of little help. I did learn from the book, but I am disappointed. The book does cover many important topics and has helped my understanding of pointers. Don't use this book as your sole resource, it is inadequate.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most clear and concise book ever on this subject, 7 Aug 1998
By A Customer
Whereas some authors explain a programming concept with a paragraph or two, Daconta gives you pages of explainations with non-trivial code that actually reinforces the ideas he is trying to convey. He not only explains how something is done but why and where it should be used and not used. If only all programming books were written this well. Believe all the high ratings.
