Effective C++ programming

Course guarantor:

Daniel Langr

Lecturer:

Daniel Langr

Tutor:

Daniel Langr

Supervisor:

Department of Computer Systems

Synopsis:

Students learn how to use the modern features of contemporary versions of the C++ programming language for software development. The course focuses on programming effectivity and efficiency in the form of writing maintainable and portable source code and creating correct programs with low memory and processor time requirements.

Requirements:

Very good knowledge of the topics of the BIE-PA1 and BIE-PA2 courses, some knowledge of the topics of the BIE-SAP and BIE-OSY courses. Knowledge of BI-PA2 „extra material“ is recommended.

Syllabus of lectures:

1. Introduction, C++ standards and implementations

2. Observable behavior, translation units, undefined behavior

3. C++ object model - basics

4. C++ object model - continued

5. C++ object model - examples

6. Expressions, references, content of objects

7. Content copying and moving

8. Templates - basics

9. Templates - variadic templates, perfect forwarding, emplace semantics

10. Template - SFINAE, concepts and constraints, type erasure, CRTP

11. Exceptions and safety, RAII

12. Performance and efficiency

13. Short string optimization

Syllabus of tutorials:

Practical training of the lecture material.

Study Objective:

The goal of the course is to learn students how to use contemporary versions of C++ programming language such that they would be able to create efficient, correct, maintainable, and portable software.

Study materials:

C++ reference (cppreference.com)

C++ standards (drafts)

Stack Overflow

CppCon lectures

C++ Core Guidelines

Note:

The course is presented in Czech.
