It's easy to make lots of programming mistakes in C++-in fact, any program over a few hundred lines is likely to contain bugs. With this book, you'll learn about many common coding errors that C++ programmers produce, along with rules and strategies you can use to avoid them.

Author Vladimir Kushnir shows you how to use his Safe C++ library, based in part on programming practices developed by the C++ community. You'll not only find recipes for identifying errors during your program's compilation, runtime, and testing phases, you'll learn a comprehensive approach for making your C++ code safe and bug-free.

Get recipes for handling ten different error types, including memory leaks and uninitialized variables
Discover problems C++ inherited from C, like pointer arithmetic
Insert temporary and permanent sanity checks to catch errors at runtime
Apply bug prevention techniques, such as using separate classes for each data type
Pursue a testing strategy to hunt and fix one bug at a time-before your code goes into production
