The lifecycle of each object starts with its creation; therefore, this post will be about the thirteen most fundamental rules for objects: constructor rules.

The new pdf bundle is ready: C++17
I have prepared the pdf bundle. To get it is quite simple.
C++ Core Guidelines: Destructor Rules
Does my class need a destructor? I often heard this question. Most of the time the answer is no and you are okay with the rule of zero. Sometimes the answer is yes and we are back to the rule of five. To be more precise. The guidelines provide eight rules for destructors.
I Proudly present my Book is Ready “Concurrency with Modern C++”
Concurrency with Modern C++ is a journey through current and upcoming concurrency in C++. C++11 and C++14 have the basic building blocks for creating concurrent or parallel programs. With C++17 we got the parallel algorithms of the Standard Template Library (STL). That means, most of the algorithms of the STL can be executed sequential, parallel, […]
C++ Core Guidelines: The Rule of Zero, Five, or Six
This post is about the rule of zero, five, or maybe six. I will also show the difference between copy and reference semantics and a quite similar topic: deep versus shallow copy.
C++ Core Guidelines: Class Rules
A class is a user-defined type where the programmer can specify the representation, the operations, and the interface. The C++ core guidelines have a lot of rules for user-defined types.
Which pdf bundle should I provide?
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.
C++ Core Guidelines: Semantic of Function Parameters and Return Values
Today, I conclude my treatise about the rules for functions in the C++ core guidelines. The last post was about the syntax of function parameters and return values. This post, with its roughly 15 rules, is about their semantics.
C++ Core Guidelines: The Rules for in, out, in-out, consume, and forward Function Parameter
You have many choices to pass function parameters. You can pass by value or by reference. A reference can be const or non-const. You can even move or forward your parameters. Your decision should depend on if it is an in, and out, an in-out, a consume, or a forward function parameter. Curious? Read the […]
“Concurrency with Modern C++” is 95% complete; Including all Source Files
Concurrency with Modern C++ is a journey through current and upcoming concurrency in C++. This the last early version of my book. Only a small chapter including the best practices is missing.
