Secretary of the ISO/ANSI C++ Standards Committee, Writer, Consultant - Information on C++

A regular series of C++ programming problems created and written by Herb Sutter.

Delivers a valuable set of tried-and-true rules, guidelines, and best practices condensed into 101 concise one- and two-page items. (Herb Sutter and Andrei Alexandrescu)

Focuses on in-depth coverage of generic programming and the C++ standard library, along with exception safety, class design, memory and resource management, optimization and efficiency. (Herb Sutter)

Covers updates and additional information about standard library containers. This article appeared in C++ Report.

Present news updates about the standard library containers vector, deque, set, multiset, map, and multimap. This article appeared in C++ Report.

Shows what object construction, and construction failure, mean in C++; and that function try blocks are useful to translate an exception thrown from a base or member subobject constructor.

Explains why auto_ptr neatly solves common C++ design and coding problems, and why using it can lead to more robust code.

Answers the question of how much memory the various standard containers use to store the same number of objects of the same type T.

Explains why a class that provides its own class-specific operator new(), or operator new[](), should also provide corresponding class-specific versions of plain new, in-place new, and nothrow new.
