Effective C++ 覆盖了我认为对当前的 C++ 程序员最重要的通用指导方针,但是如果你有兴趣在更多的方面提升你的效力,我推荐你去研读我的其他 C++ 书籍,More Effective C++ 和 Effective STL。

More Effective C++ 覆盖其它的编程指导方针,并包括像效率和带有异常编程这样的话题的广泛讨论。它也记述了像 smart pointers(智能指针),reference counting(引用计数)和 proxy objects(代理对象)这样的重要的 C++ 编程技术。

Effective STL 像 Effective C++ 一样是一本面向指导方针的书,但是它专注于标准模板库的有效使用。

下面是这两本书的目录摘要。

Item 16: Know how to pass vector and string data to legacy APIs.

Item 17: Use "the swap TRick" to trim excess capacity.

Item 18: Avoid using vector<bool>.

Chapter 3: Associative Containers

Item 19: Understand the difference between equality and equivalence.

Chapter 4: Iterators

Item 26: Prefer iterator to const_iterator, reverse_iterator, and const_reverse_iterator.

Item 27: Use distance and advance to convert a container's const_iterators to iterators.

Item 28: Understand how to use a reverse_iterator's base iterator.

Item 29: Consider istreambuf_iterators for character-by-character input.

Chapter 5: Algorithms

Item 30: Make sure destination ranges are big enough.

Item 31: Know your sorting options.

Item 32: Follow remove-like algorithms by erase if you really want to remove something.
