Key benefits

  • Learn to apply the latest C++ features (from C++11, 14, 17, and 20) to facilitate systems programming
  • Create robust and concurrent systems that make the most of the available hardware resources
  • Delve into C++ inbuilt libraries and frameworks to design robust systems as per your business needs

Description

C++ is the preferred language for system programming due to its efficient low-level computation, data abstraction, and object-oriented features. System programming is about designing and writing computer programs that interact closely with the underlying operating system and allow computer hardware to interface with the programmer and the user. The C++ System Programming Cookbook will serve as a reference for developers who want to have ready-to-use solutions for the essential aspects of system programming using the latest C++ standards wherever possible. This C++ book starts out by giving you an overview of system programming and refreshing your C++ knowledge. Moving ahead, you will learn how to deal with threads and processes, before going on to discover recipes for how to manage memory. The concluding chapters will then help you understand how processes communicate and how to interact with the console (console I/O). Finally, you will learn how to deal with time interfaces, signals, and CPU scheduling. By the end of the book, you will become adept at developing robust systems applications using C++.

Who is this book for?

This book is for C++ developers who want to gain practical knowledge of systems programming. Though no experience of Linux system programming is assumed, intermediate knowledge of C++ is necessary.

What you will learn

  • Get up to speed with the fundamentals including makefile, man pages, compilation, and linking and debugging
  • Understand how to deal with time interfaces, signals, and CPU scheduling
  • Develop your knowledge of memory management
  • Use processes and threads for advanced synchronizations (mutexes and condition variables)
  • Understand interprocess communications (IPC): pipes, FIFOs, message queues, shared memory, and TCP and UDP
  • Discover how to interact with the console (console I/O)

I had the privilege to be a technical reviewer on this book. The C++ System Programming Cookbook provides a detailed, hands-on introduction to many critical system programming tasks on the Linux operating system. This book is particularly helpful for those C++ programmers who are not very familiar with Linux. In addition, all the code samples for the book are available in a Docker image with Ubuntu 19.04 and g++ 8.3.0 installed, which provides a side benefit for the reader to learn how to develop and debug C++ in a Docker container. While some of the tasks are demonstrated using POSIX APIs in C/C++, most of the examples are written in modern C++, taking advantage of some features of C++11, such as the std::chrono namespace and the std::unique_lock, std::promise, and std::future classes. Even some C++17 features are included, such as the std::filesystem namespace. Whether you are familiar with Linux or not, reading this concise book and running all the code samples will teach you the fundamental techniques you need to develop robust systems applications using C++.

I really like how the book starts with an explanation of the essential features of the Linux architecture and makes no assumption of prior Linux experience. This provides a strong foundation for later chapters that delve into the details of programming Linux at the system level.I also like the thorough introduction to C++ 11 through 20. This is a great help to those of us with experience in C++ from years past, but who haven't kept up with the recent (and exciting!) language enhancements. This includes things like lambda expressions, automatic type deduction, smart pointers, and support for concurrency.Each topic covered in the book follows the pattern of introducing the concept, demonstrating how to implement it, and explaining how it works. Additional information is provided on more advanced uses of the topic and sources for further information.This book is a valuable asset for anyone with a need to use the modern features of C++ in the context of system programming for Linux and other POSIX-compliant operating systems. Highly recommended!

I've enjoyed a lot the good overview the author gave by covering (almost) all the aspects of the system programming. The examples (although basic) help to have a good grasp of the topic.

i only found maybe 10 pages of this book useful and taught me something the rest is just crap. By its structure is obvious that the author just wanted to make pages by being repetitive about the running instruction. Total waste of money.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

I am a Packt subscriber, do I get Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

How do I buy Early Access content? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same. Just find the course you want to buy, go through the check-out steps, and you’ll get a confirmation email from us with information and a link to the relevant Early Access courses.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
