"In Embracing Modern C++ Safely, four leading C++ authorities show you how to make effective use of the new and enhanced language features of modern C++ without falling victim to their potential pitfalls. Based on their years of experience with large, mission-critical projects, the authors divide C++11/14 language features into three categories: Safe, Conditionally Safe, and Unsafe. Safe features offer compelling value, are easy to use productively, and are relatively difficult to misuse. Conditionally safe features offer significant value but come with risks that require significant expertise and familiarity before use. Unsafe features have an especially poor risk/reward ratio, are easy to misuse, and are beneficial in only the most specialized circumstances. This book distills the C++ community's years of experience applying C++11 and C++14 features and will help you make effective and safe design decisions that reflect real-world, economic engineering tradeoffs in a large-scale, diverse software development environment. The book uses examples derived from real code bases to illustrate every finding objectively and to illuminate key issues. The authors identify the sound use cases, hidden pitfalls, and shortcomings of each language feature"-- Provided by publisher.
