[c++] Basic ideas and Style Guide

Get your own compiler:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install g++-4.9
you can then compile using the command:
g++-4.9 -std=c++14 -Wall -Werror -O2 -o helloworld helloworld.cpp

Style Rules:

Macros should never be required in C++.
Variables should be defined close to their use.
Don’t use malloc/realloc, use new (or smart pointers)
Minimise use of void*, pointer arithmetic, union and c-style casts
Minimise the use of C-style arrays and strings, use vector/array (from C++11) and string instead.

总之，忘掉C语言。

C++ Standard Library

For efficiency reasons, STL is not object-oriented:

• Makes little use of inheritance, and
• Makes no use of virtual functions

The Standard Template Library (STL) is a part of the C++ standard library, Some others are:

分类一：

• The C standard library
• Language support: <exception>, <ctime>, ...
• Strings: <string>, <cstring>, ...
• Numerics: <cmath>, <complex>, ...
• I/O: <iostream>, <fstream>, <cstdio>, ...
• Exception classes
• Smart pointers
• Classes for internationalisation support

分类二：

Containers: vector, list, stack, ...
Algorithms: find, sort, copy, ...
Iterators are the glue between the two!

The compilation process:

1. Preprocessing - handles meta-information (e.g., #include)
2. Compiling - translates C++ into machine code objects
3. Linking - merges objects into a single application
