About this title

Synopsis

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 where 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 you programs.
