Key benefits

  • Enrich your coding skills using features from the modern C++ standard and industry approved libraries
  • Implement refactoring techniques and SOLID principles in C++
  • Apply automated tools to improve your code quality
  • Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBook

Description

Despite the prevalence of higher-level languages, C++ is still running the world, from bare-metal embedded systems to distributed cloud-native systems. C++ is on the frontline whenever there is a need for a performance-sensitive tool supporting complex data structures. The language has been actively evolving for the last two decades. This book is a comprehensive guide that shows you how to implement SOLID principles and refactor legacy code using the modern features and approaches of C++, the standard library, Boost library collection, and Guidelines Support Library by Microsoft. The book begins by describing the essential elements of writing clean code and discussing object-oriented programming in C++. You’ll explore the design principles of software testing with examples of using popular unit testing frameworks such as Google Test. The book also guides you through applying automated tools for static and dynamic code analysis using Clang Tools. By the end of this book, you’ll be proficient in applying industry-approved coding practices to design clean, sustainable, and readable real-world C++ code.

Who is this book for?

This book will benefit experienced C++ programmers the most, but is also suitable for technical leaders, software architects, and senior software engineers who want to save on costs and improve software development process efficiency by using modern C++ features and automated tools.

What you will learn

  • Leverage the rich type system of C++ to write safe and elegant code
  • Create advanced object-oriented designs using the unique features of C++
  • Minimize code duplication by using metaprogramming
  • Refactor code safely with the help of unit tests
  • Ensure code conventions and format with clang-format
  • Facilitate the usage of modern features automatically with clang-tidy
  • Catch complex bugs such as memory leakage and data races with Clang AddressSanitizer and ThreadSanitizer

Here's my review of "Refactoring with C++" by Dmitry Danilov. This book is a unique and excellent resource for C++ improvers, filling a crucial gap in the C++ literature with its focus on refactoring specifically for C++.Martin Fowler's work on refactoring was an important contribution to the software engineering literature and a definite must-read. However, it focuses on Java and heavily object-oriented patterns. I hadn't seen a detailed topic of refactoring in the C++ domain until I came across Danilov's book.C++ refactoring looks and feels quite different from Java refactoring. There are more considerations and possible ways to proceed. The patterns presented in this book are good to consider as the best patterns for refactoring in C++.If I were to offer some minor criticisms of the book, it would be that it's not entirely tailored for beginners. The difficulty of the content doesn't always increase gradually, and there are intermittent advanced topics (such as concurrency) that appear unexpectedly. However, the descriptions of best software engineering practices are well-summarized and presented in a way that even beginners can benefit from.For those learning C++, I recommend studying the examples very carefully to understand the patterns presented.

What happens if an Early Access Course is cancelled? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

If you have any feedback about the product you're reading, or Early Access in general, then please fill out a contact form here and we'll make sure the feedback gets to the right team. 

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

Yes, all Early Access content is fully available through your subscription. You will need to have a paid for or active trial subscription in order to access all titles.

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.
