Hands-On Design Patterns with C++ (Second Edition) - Second Edition

Overview of this book

C++ is a general-purpose programming language designed for efficiency, performance, and flexibility. Design patterns are commonly accepted solutions to well-recognized design problems. In essence, they are a library of reusable components, only for software architecture, and not for a concrete implementation. This book helps you focus on the design patterns that naturally adapt to your needs, and on the patterns that uniquely benefit from the features of C++. Armed with the knowledge of these patterns, you’ll spend less time searching for solutions to common problems and tackle challenges with the solutions developed from experience. You’ll also explore that design patterns are a concise and efficient way to communicate, as patterns are a familiar and recognizable solution to a specific problem and can convey a considerable amount of information with a single line of code. By the end of this book, you’ll have a deep understanding of how to use design patterns to write maintainable, robust, and reusable software.

Questions

  1. What is an overload set?
  2. What is overload resolution?
  3. What are type deduction and type substitution?
  4. What is SFINAE?
  5. In what contexts can potentially invalid code be present and not trigger a compilation error, unless that code is actually needed?
  6. How can we determine which overload was chosen without actually calling it?
  7. How is SFINAE used to control conditional compilation?
  8. Why are C++20 constraints superior to SFINAE for constraining templates?
  9. How does the C++20 concepts standard benefit the programmers using earlier language versions?
