Book Description

AI Can Write Code. Engineers Build Systems.

C++ remains the language of choice for systems programming and those writing modern C++ with AI are the ones delivering production systems faster than anyone else. Prompting C++ for Systems Engineering shows you how to build correct efficient and production-ready C++ systems using AI tools at every stage of development, while maintaining the critical engineering judgement that professional practice demands.

This book puts AI-assisted execution at the centre. You use prompt engineering techniques alongside GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT to write and refactor C++ code covering memory management OOP templates, the STL lambdas move semantics and multithreading then validate every output with systematic debugging using GDB and Valgrind, and testing using GoogleTest and GoogleMock.

Thus, by the end of the book you will be well-versed to write modern C++ with confidence, debug and test it systematically, as well as use AI tools as a productive and disciplined part of your engineering workflow across embedded systems, safety-critical software and production C++ development.

What you will learn
● Write correct, efficient and maintainable modern C++ for real production and embedded systems.
● Manage memory pointers and resources safely using RAII smart pointers and modern C++ idioms.
● Apply STL templates lambdas, and move semantics to build flexible and high-performance C++ systems.
● Build concurrent and thread-safe systems using mutexes, atomics and modern concurrency patterns.
● Debug and profile C++ programs systematically using GDB Valgrind sanitizers and GoogleTest.
● Use AI tools productively and critically for coding, debugging, refactoring and prompt engineering.
