These are some rules for effective C++ programming. These are taken from
|
|||
|
|
Scott Meyers, and is presented in their short form. These are not all the
|
|||
|
|
rules Meyers presents, only the most important of them. LyX does not yet
|
|||
|
|
follow these rules, but they should be the goal.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- Use const and inline instead of #define
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- Use the same form in corresponding calls to new and delete,
|
|||
|
|
i.e. write delete[] obj; if new obj[n]; was used to create
|
|||
|
|
the object and write delete obj; if you wrote new obj;
|
|||
|
|
Notice strings should be LString's instead of char *'s.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- Define a copy constructor and an assignment operator for all
|
|||
|
|
classes with dynamically allocated memory.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- make destructors virtual in base classes.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- assign to all data members in operator=.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- strive for class interfaces that are complete and minimal
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- differentiate among member functions, global functions and friend
|
|||
|
|
functions.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- avoid data members in the public interface.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- use const whenever possible
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- pass and return objects by reference instead of by value
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- choose carefully between function overloading and
|
|||
|
|
parameter defaulting.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- never return a reference to a local object or a dereferenced
|
|||
|
|
pointer initialized by new within the function.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- use enums for integral constants.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- minimize compilation dependencies between files.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- pay attention to compiler warnings
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- differentiate between inheritance of interface and
|
|||
|
|
inheritance of implementation.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- differentiate between inheritance and templates
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- know what functions C++ silently writes and calls.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- ensure that global objects are initialized before they are used.

|
|
- When swiching on enums, refrain from using "default:" if possible.
