Learn how to handle errors, inefficiencies, and outdated paradigms by exploring the most common mistakes you’ll find in production C++ code.
C++ is a complex and powerful language. With an estimated ten billion lines of C++ code running in production, it’s not hard to find bugs, inefficiencies, and other coding mistakes that slow and snarl even the most mission critical applications.
100 C++ Mistakes and How To Avoid Them reveals the problems you’ll inevitably encounter as you write new C++ code and diagnose legacy applications, along with practical techniques you need to resolve them.
Inside
100 C++ Mistakes and How To Avoid Them you’ll learn how to:

- Minimize resource allocation/deallocation issues
- Use new C++ features
- Identify the differences between compile and runtime issues
- Recognize C-style idioms that miss C++ functionality
- Use exceptions well
100 C++ Mistakes and How To Avoid Them gives you practical insights and techniques to improve your C++ coding kung fu. Author Rich Yonts has been using C++ since its invention in the 1980s. This book distills that experience into practical, reusable advice on how C++ programmers at any skill level can improve their code. Unlike many C++ books that concentrate on language theory and toy exercises, this book is loaded with real examples from production codebases.
