Comments on: What Makes You a Good C/C++ Coder? http://mdzahidh.wordpress.com/2007/08/16/what-makes-you-a-good-cc-coder/ Just another WordPress.com weblog Mon, 27 Jul 2009 06:26:25 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Ruman Zakaria http://mdzahidh.wordpress.com/2007/08/16/what-makes-you-a-good-cc-coder/#comment-47 Ruman Zakaria Thu, 22 May 2008 11:58:51 +0000 http://mdzahidh.wordpress.com/2007/08/16/what-makes-you-a-good-cc-coder/#comment-47 Boost!! Use Boost C++ libraries which can I suppose help one out with memory leaks and so on. Some of the libraries in Boost are supposed to be incorporated into the next version of C++ (C++0x). But there are lot more stuff in Boost than just smart pointers. I am glad that Boost is being incorporated just like STL was done a few years ago..:D:D The days of JAVA are coming to an end (maybe not).. long live C++ Boost!!

To reduce code-rewriting, people often write a Template Singleton class then derive all other singletons from that Template. So I thought its good to have knowledge on how to write Singleton, Template Singleton and etc. @Imran: Memory Leak Avoidance and Detection both actually come through experience. But there are still various programmatic aids that you can use to detect Memory Leaks, for example crtdbg routines of VC++. While in eSophers I was not aware of the existence of crtdbg and wrote a leak detector myself which worked almost similarly to crtdbg. That leak detector was esoterically named as "Terror Lib" and was dedicated to Sazzad Bhai (Mr. Terror). But later I found that crtdbg is already there to do just that. But crtdbg is not portable ,as far as i know. So if you are planning to write some cross-platform code, use your own leak detector. I will probably write something on leak detection soon, so stay tuned @Shams: Though Singleton is one type of design pattern but this is something that is used in almost all projects quite heavily.

But I find (8) to be a little too difficult as it only comes with experience. By the grace of Allah I almost know all the other points except memory leak. I am looking forward to a post on it from Zahid; especially because I know that Zahid mastered it :) Though I am a Java fanatic, I find the Blog quite intriguing.

Forgive my ignorance (in c++) :) Nice article, but I would like to know why you pointed out the singleton pattern explicitly and why it is so valuable in C++. Forgive my ignorance (in c++) :)

Jalal, i am sure you have used macros, its just about using #defines, thats it. But you will be amazed how simple #defines can be used in your code in intriguing ways.

So, this is not a special case. I finally able to understand the use of the above thing coz I have used those in small application except macros. I really dont know how use macros and how a non experience (work exp) coder like me will able to answer questions like macros?? When Zahid talks on technical things most of fly over my head.

They will be very helpful for people who want to establish themselve as good c/c++ programmers. Thank you for the points.
