This definitive guide to C++ has been updated to reflect the latest ANSI/ISO standard. With more than 50,000 copies sold, the first edition has helped thousands of developers improve their C++ programming skills. Continuing in this tradition, Meyers has reworked every item in the book and has liberally placed cross-references throughout the text.

Review:
This exceptionally useful text offers Scott Myers's expertise in C++ class design and programming tips. The second edition incorporates recent advances to C++ included in the ISO standard, including namespaces and built-in template classes, and is required reading for any working C++ developer.

The book opens with some hints for porting code from C to C++ and then moves on to the proper use of the new and delete operators in C++ for more robust memory management. The text then proceeds to class design, including the proper use of constructors, destructors, and overloaded operator functions for assignment within classes. (These guidelines ensure that you will create custom C++ classes that are fully functional data types, which can be copied and assigned just like built-in C++ classes.)

The author also provides a handful of suggestions for general class design, including strategies for using different types of inheritance and encapsulation. Never doctrinaire and always intelligent, these guidelines can make your C++ classes more robust and easier to maintain. --Richard Dragan

From the Back Cover:

The first edition of Effective C++ sold nearly 100,000 copies and was translated into four languages. It's easy to understand why. Scott Meyers' practical approach to C++ described the rules of thumb employed by the experts--the things they almost always do or almost always avoid doing--to produce clear, correct, efficient code.

Each of this book's 50 guidelines summarizes a way to write better C++, and the accompanying discussions are backed by specific examples. For this new edition, Meyers reworked every guideline in the book. The result is exceptional adherence to C++'s Draft International Standard, current compiler technology, and the latest insights into the use of C++ for real-world applications.

Highlights of Effective C++, Second Edition include:

  • Expert guidance on object-oriented design, class design, and the proper use of inheritance
  • An examination of the standard C++ library, including how the Standard Template Library and classes like string and vector affect the structure of well-written programs
  • Discussions of late-breaking language features like in-class constant initializations, namespaces, and member templates
  • Wisdom usually possessed by only the most experienced developers
Effective C++ continues to be essential reading for every developer working with C++.
