Scott Meyers的新书 Effective STL: 提高STL使用技术的50招

 

Effective C++/More Effective C++的作者Scott Meyers即将推出最新力作：Effective STL, 该书目前已经完成，相信不久可以问世。但是与中国读者见面恐怕还是要在苦等之后。Addison=Wesley已经刊出了此书的页面。地址http://cseng.aw.com/book/toc/0,3830,0201749629,00.html

下面是该书的内容：
某些条款我基本可以理解，大部分知道应该如此，但不知其所以然，某些条款令我相当诧异，所以更希望能够早日拜读。我对于某些条款的感想用[]写在下面，我相信也是Meyers书中能够解释的东西。如果对于STL感兴趣的网友能够就这些条款展开讨论，我相信是非常有帮助的。

1. Containers

Item 1: Choose your containers with care.

Item 2: Beware the illusion of container-independent code.
        [值得注意的条款！]

Item 3: Make copying cheap and correct for objects in containers.
        [可以理解，可是如何做到cheap，哪些情况下容易作出不正确的copy操作？]

Item 4: Call empty instead of checking size against zero.
        [何故？]

Item 5: Prefer range member functions to their single-element counterparts.
        [何故？]

Item 6: Be alert for C++'s most vexing parse.
        [谈何容易！]

Item 7: When using containers of newed pointers, remember to delete the pointers before the container is destroyed.
        [可以理解]

Item 8: Never create containers of auto_ptrs.
        [可以理解]

Item 9: Choose carefully among erasing options.
        [非常令我感兴趣的条款]
