• An Introduction to Garbage Collection, Part I - Presents an introduction to garbage collection, presenting the subject in enough detail to show the various tradeoffs and advantages between various techniques and what goes on under the hood in a typical garbage collector.
• C++ Internals - Discusses implementation details like multiple inheritance, virtual functions and exception handling.
• C++ Optimizations - List of C++ source code optimizations that can give big returns, especially when used in tight loops. By Andrew S. Winter.
• C++ in the Real World - This article explores the strengths of C++, and how to exploit them in projects.
• C++: Beyond The Standard Library - Takes a look at Blitz++, MTL (Matrix Template Library), ACE, Loki and Boost.
• Contracts: From Analysis to C++ Implementation - Describes a set of techniques and tools (an environment) facilitating prototyping of, providing general mechanisms for, object-oriented architectures based on the idea of assertion checking and Design by Contract (DbC) in C++.
• Create Movie from HBitmap - Describes creating AVI/WMV/QuickTime movies from sequences of bitmaps with source code examples.
• Creating Truly Maintainable Class Factories - Presents a solution that is easily extensible and maintainable; what's more, it is particularly well suited to creating objects from XML data.
• Dynamic C++ Classes - Describes a lightweight mechanism to update code in a running program. (Gísli Hjálmtýsson, Robert Gray) [PDF]
• Functional Style in C++ - Discusses closures, late binding, and lambda abstractions.
• Herb Sutter - Publications - Over 80 in-depth articles about object-oriented software development and C++ design and programming have been published in C/C++ Users Journal, C++ Report, Dr. Dobb's Journal, Java Report, Visual C++ Developer's Journal, and other magazines.
• Mixing C and C++ Code in the Same Program - How-to article by Stephen Clamage.
• Optimizing Software in C++ - An optimization manual for advanced C++ programmers on Windows, Linux and Mac platforms. Topics include: the choice of platform and operating system, choice of compiler and framework, finding performance bottlenecks, the efficiency of different C++ constructs, multi-kernel systems, parallelization with vector operations, CPU dispatching and efficient container class templates. [PDF]
• Publications by Bjarne Stroustrup - Reasonably complete list of Bjarne's publications.
• The Anatomy of the Assignment Operator - In depth discussion of writing solid assignment operators. Explains exception safety and memory management issues.
• The Assignment Operator Revisited - Looks at how difficult it is to copy state from one object to another. (Richard Gillam)
• The Design of C++0x - Bjarne Stroustrup provides insights on what will likely be added or changed in the upcoming version of the C++ standard.
• The Miseducation of C++ - Modern C++ is a more expressive, simpler language than C, and a language in its own right, so why do so many people insist on teaching it historically? Kevlin Henney appeals for a reform of the C++ education system. [PDF]
• What is Koenig Lookup? - A definition of argument-dependent name lookup with examples for application with HP aC++.
• C++0x Feature Support in GCC 4.5 - This article focuses on a subset of several C++0x features that GCC version 4.5 supports, including static assertions, initializer lists, type narrowing, newer semantics of the auto keyword, lambda functions, and variadic templates. (March 01, 2011)
• Simpler Multithreading in C++0x - The new standard will support multithreading, with a new thread library. This article explains how this will improve porting code, and reduce the number of APIs and syntaxes used. (August 18, 2008)
• An Introduction to XML Data Binding in C++ - This article looks at XML Data Binding at a new alternative to automate much of the task of processing XML data by presenting the information stored in XML as a statically-typed, vocabulary-specific object model. (Boris Kolpackov) (May 04, 2007)
• Introducing the Catenator - This article introduces a very sophisticated and useful data structure for efficient string processing, while at the same time revealing some interesting features of C++. (Adam Sanitt) (September 30, 2005)
• Constant Objects and Constant Expressions - Explains why constant objects are not as useful as some people would like them to be. (January 01, 2002)
• Enumeration Constants vs. Constant Objects - Presents insights on choosing between symbolic constants as either enumeration constants or constant objects. (December 01, 2001)
• Symbolic Constants - Shows all choices for defining symbolic constants. (November 01, 2001)
• The Design and Implementation of SPECS: An Alternative C++ Syntax - By B.M. Werther and D.M. Conway, Dept. Computer Science, Monash University, Melbourne. [PDF] (January 01, 1996)
