Improving Performance and Error Handling in C++ Programming

Description:

A brief introduction to the traditional big picture of software optimization, algorithms plus data structures, will be provided by several performance analyses of the Standard Template Library. A major section of the course is devoted to studying various idioms and design criteria for the writing of a concrete data class to represent an arithmetic type.

The topics to be covered in that section include:

• Constructors
• The principle of lazy evaluation
• Type conversion
• Temporary objects
• Operator overloading
• Return value optimization

Guidelines for inlining and memory management techniques will be presented. The workshop will conclude with an introduction to exception handling and resource management.

Prerequisites:

Completion of OSC's C++ Programming for Scientists workshop or equivalent

Target Audience:

Intermediate C++ users
