Effective Modern C++ 42 Specific Ways to Improve Your Use of C++11 and C++14 [Paperback]

Coming to grips with C++11 and C++14 is more than a matter of familiarizing yourself with the features they introduce (e.g.,autotype declarations, move semantics, lambda expressions, and concurrency support). The challenge is learning to use those featureseffectively—so that your software is correct, efficient, maintainable, and portable. That’s where this practical book comes in. It describes how to write truly great software using C++11 and C++14—i.e. usingmodernC++.

Topics include:

• The pros and cons of braced initialization,noexceptspecifications, perfect forwarding, and smart pointermakefunctions
• The relationships amongstd::move,std::forward, rvalue references, and universal references
• Techniques for writing clear, correct,effectivelambda expressions
• Howstd::atomicdiffers fromvolatile, how each should be used, and how they relate to C++'s concurrency API
• How best practices in old C++ programming (i.e., C++98) require revision for software development in modern C++

Effective Modern C++follows the proven guideline-based, example-driven format of Scott Meyers' earlier books, but covers entirely new material.

After I learned the C++ basics, I then learned how to use C++ in production code from Meyer's series of Effective C++ books.Effective Modern C++is the most important how-to book for advice on key guidelines, styles, and idioms to use modern C++ effectively and well.

For more than 20 years, Scott Meyers’ Effective C++ books (Effective C++, More Effective C++, and Effective STL) have set the bar for C++ programming guidance. His clear, engaging explanations of complex technical material have earned him a worldwide following, al³Ü
