Object Swapping, Part 6: Exception Safety

Swapping has an important role to play in making operations exception safe. - C/C++

Object Swapping, Part 5: A Fine Point About Overloading

Last week, a sharp-eyed reader pointed out a subtle pitfall in the code that I presented. - C/C++

Object Swapping Part 4: How Class Operations Relate

The fundamental operations that a class offers to its users are construction, destruction, copying, and assignment. - C/C++

Object Swapping, Part 3: Swapping and Moving

I would like to continue this series by discussing the notion of moving, rather than copying, values. - C/C++

Object Swapping, Part 2: Algorithms Can Often Swap Instead of Copy

Swapping is often faster than assignment — a fact that often allows algorithms that swap to be dramatically faster than they would be if they used assignment. Here's why. - C/C++

Object Swapping Part 1: Its Surprising Importance

I am beginning to believe that swapping is as fundamental an operation as copying, and that it may even be more fundamental than assignment. - C/C++

The Case Against int, Part 3: The Advantages and Perils of Unsigned Arithmetic

C++ defines an unsigned integer type, size_t, that is well-suited to storing array indices, or otherwise counting items that can fit in the computer's memory. - C/C++

The Case Against int, Part 2: Why Signed Integers?

Unsigned integer arithmetic is often more useful than signed. - C/C++

The Case Against int, Part 1

I think it's time to warn about integer arithmetic — specifically about the int type. - C/C++

Optimizations Can Have Side Effects

When you find ways to make your code faster, those optimizations can cause trouble for people who use your code. - C/C++
