Part 5: Debugging, Testing, and Performance Optimization in Asynchronous Programming

In this final part, we focus on the essential practices of debugging, testing, and optimizing the performance of multithreaded and asynchronous programs. We will begin by using logging and advanced debugging tools and techniques, including reverse debugging and code sanitizers, to identify and resolve subtle bugs in asynchronous applications, such as crashes, deadlocks, race conditions, memory leaks, and thread safety issues, followed by testing strategies tailored for asynchronous code using the GoogleTest framework. Finally, we will dive into performance optimization, understanding key concepts such as cache sharing, false sharing, and how to mitigate performance bottlenecks. Mastering these techniques will provide us with a comprehensive toolkit for identifying, diagnosing, and improving the quality and performance of asynchronous applications.

This part has the following chapters:
