Today, I conclude my story to your myths about C++. These myths are around function parameters, the initialisation of class members, and pointer versus references.

Now, it's time to choose the next pdf bundle? You will get all posts, all source files, and a cmake file to the chosen topic.

I was very curious about your C++ myths. In particular, my German readers were quite active. I got a few E-Mails and observed a vivid discussion on Heise Developer.

Demystifying non-rules and myths in C++ is a laborious but absolutely necessary job. The goal is simple: use the powerful tool C++ appropriately.

Of course, you already know many non-rules and myths to C++. Non-rules and myths which we have to argument against when we use modern C++. The supporting section of the C++ core guidelines addresses the most resistant once but also provides alternatives.

Let's recapitulate. In the last two years, I have written about 100 posts to the C++ Core Guidelines. Why? The document answers:  "This document is a set of guidelines for using C++ well. The aim of this document is to help people to use modern C++ effectively.". But my story does not end here. The guidelines have a supporting section.

Before I write about the very popular RAII idiom in C++, I want to present you a trick, which is often quite handy, when you repeatedly search for a text pattern:  use negative search.

There is more to write to the usage of regular expressions than I wrote in my last post The Regular Expression Library. Let's continue.

My original plan was it to write about the rules of the C++ Core Guidelines to the regex and chrono library, but besides the subsection title, there is no content available. I already wrote a few posts about time functionality. So I'm done. Today, I fill the gap and write about the regex library.

As easy as my title and the rules of the C++ core guidelines sound, getting more performance out of the Iostreams is no no-brainer.
