Using Exceptions for Error Handling

In this chapter, we will learn some advanced C++ exception handling techniques. We assume here that you have a basic understanding of how to throw as well as catch a C++ exception. Instead of focusing on the basics of C++ exceptions, this chapter will teach you some of the more advanced techniques of C++ exception handling. This includes the proper use of the noexcept specifier and the noexcept operator so that you can properly mark your APIs as either possibly throwing an exception or explicitly not throwing a C++ exception, instead of calling std::terminate() when an error occurs that cannot be handled.

This chapter will also explain what the term Resource Acquisition is Initialization (RAII) is and how it complements C++ exception handling. We will also discuss why you should never throw a C++ exception from a class's destructor...

Description

If you think you've mastered C++ and know everything it takes to write robust applications, you'll be in for a surprise. With this book, you'll gain comprehensive insights into C++, covering exclusive tips and interesting techniques to enhance your app development process. You'll kick off with the basic principles of library design and development, which will help you understand how to write reusable and maintainable code. You'll then discover the importance of exception safety, and how you can avoid unexpected errors or bugs in your code. The book will take you through the modern elements of C++, such as move semantics, type deductions, and coroutines. As you advance, you'll delve into template programming - the standard tool for most library developers looking to achieve high code reusability. You'll explore the STL and learn how to avoid common pitfalls while implementing templates. Later, you'll learn about the problems of multithreaded programming such as data races, deadlocks, and thread starvation. You'll also learn high-performance programming by using benchmarking tools and libraries. Finally, you'll discover advanced techniques for debugging and testing to ensure code reliability. By the end of this book, you'll have become an expert at C++ programming and will have gained the skills to solve complex development problems with ease.

Who is this book for?

This book is for intermediate and expert-level C++ developers who are looking to explore the lesser known functionalities of the language to improve the efficiency of their code and the way they develop applications. Basic knowledge of object-oriented programming concepts and the Standard Template Library (STL) is assumed.

What you will learn

Solve common C++ development problems by implementing solutions in a more generic and reusable way

Achieve different levels of exception safety guarantees by introducing precise declarations

Write library-quality code that meets professional standards

Practice writing reliable, performant code that exposes consistent behavior in programs

Understand why you need to implement design patterns and how it's done

Work with complex examples to understand various aspects of good library design

One of the Best C++ books I had read.But be aware, you need to be a intermediate C++ programmer.The book is well structured and is a good combination between theory and practice.Every topic gives an introduction to fulfill the preconditions to run the code and explains how to do and how it works.The selected topics e. g. Move semantics, thread safety and dynamic memory give a explanation how to deal with it. And how to measure or take a look behind the scenes.For me a brilliant reference book with valuable and short explanations.

Il libro è veramente ottimo, consigliato per chi ha già una buona conoscenza del linguaggio c++.

Clément Hamon Jul 16, 2020

Ce livre est très intéressant, étant amateur de C++, pas mal d'élément abordés dans celui-ci furent une découverte pour moi. La lecture est fluide.Pour ce qui est des bémols, la répétition des paragraphes "how to do it" et "Getting started" prennent de la place inutilement dans le livre (Ils auraient pu se trouver en annexe).Aussi Certains concepts avancés sont bien expliqués certes, mais avec parfois trop peu d'exemple ou de cas d'utilisation, je n'aurais pas craché sur des exemples d'utilisations ou même des anecdotes de l'auteur.En conclusion, ce livre est de mon point de vu un bon rapport qualité/connaissance/prix

I found the examples poor and unmotivating. There are better books to learn C++ 20 advanced topics.Also, every section repeats the same instructions to download the example code. It think this was to get the page count up.

This book is designed for beginner to intermediate level programmers. The examples are mediocre at best - had the author had deeper understanding of the topics he would have come up with decent thought-provoking examples. One third of the book is cluttered with how to clone this book's examples from github and how to compile them - over and over again. Even for an intermediate C++ programmer, this book is a total frustration - not to say for advanced programmers.Unless you are complete beginner, I would suggest the following books: Effective Modern C++ by Scott Meyers, C++ 17 The Complete Guide by Nicolai Josuttis, C++ Concurrency In Action by Athony Williams. And of course, Stroustrup's The C++ Programming Language, 4th Edition.
