Memory as a Programming Concept in C and C++ Frantisek Franek
Publisher: Cambridge University Press

As many people have said over the years, C and C++ are sharp knives. December 19, 2007 at 6:50 pm · Filed under Programming. Java generally doesn't have those problems. [c++] Enum, sizeof - posted in General Programming: 1. Is to figure out when (and how) to free the allocated memory. Widely used for both systems and applications development, the C and C++ programming languages are available for virtually every operating system and are often the best choice for performance-critical applications. C++ is designed to be a statically typed, general-purpose language that is as efficient and portable as C; C++ is designed to directly and comprehensively support multiple programming styles (procedural programming, data abstraction, object- oriented programming, and generic programming); C++ is designed to give the programmer choice, "Inside the C++ Object Model" documents how the C++ compiler converts your program statements into an in-memory layout. I expect that transactional memory will never work in the C/C++ world; it simply costs too much. > > “Memory as a Programming Concept in C and C++. There are a lot of alternatives to this approach. This was used when programming “the old way” in C or C++, when alternative techniques where not so widely known, but you usually don't see this anymore in modern code. Why do people still write in C/C++? Pointers and casts are the sharpest of the knives, and many people have run into difficult bugs in those areas. The overwhelming majority of bugs and crashes in computer programming stem from problems of memory access, allocation, or deallocation. Product Description Assuming readers have a basic familiarity with C or C++, Frantisek Franek describes the techniques, methods and tools available to develop effective memory usage. The terms lvalue and rvalue are not something one runs into often in C/C++ programming, but when one does, it's usually not immediately clear what they mean. Because there are no memory management concepts used here, there is no general solution to this problem and the programmer makes errors for sure as the code grows. Enum Is it more safe to set value for In C++11, you can specify the underlying integer type of the enum, to be 100% sure of the memory size.
