This section delves into more complex and nuanced C++ topics, essential for writing robust, efficient, and modern C++ code.
- Templates (Function and Class) - Explores generic programming with function templates (e.g., generic
add,printArray) and class templates (e.g., genericContainer), including basic template specialization. - Advanced STL - Algorithms - Demonstrates common STL algorithms such as
for_each,find,count_if,transform,copy,remove_if(with erase-remove idiom), andsort, often using lambda expressions. - Advanced STL - Other Containers - Briefly introduces
std::list,std::deque, andstd::priority_queue, highlighting their characteristics and basic operations. - Exception Safety Guarantees - Discusses and illustrates no-safety, basic guarantee, and strong exception safety guarantee (commit-or-rollback) with examples.
- RAII Beyond Pointers - Shows Resource Acquisition Is Initialization (RAII) applied to resources like file handles (
FileHandler) and mutex locks (MutexGuard), ensuring proper cleanup. - Move Semantics and Rvalue References - Covers rvalue references, move constructors, move assignment operators (
std::move), and perfect forwarding, crucial for performance optimization. - Concurrency Basics - Introduces C++ concurrency with
std::thread,std::mutex,std::lock_guard,std::unique_lock,std::async,std::future,std::promise, andstd::atomic. - Modern C++ Features - Showcases a selection of modern C++ features including advanced lambdas (generic,
thiscapture, mutable),autoanddecltype,constexprfunctions, andstd::optional(C++17).
