Overview

Boost library guidance: the next major breakthrough in C ++ programming.

The boost library allows you to go beyond the scope of the C ++ standard library, making C ++ programming more elegant, robust, and efficient. This is the first time that top-notch boost experts systematically introduce a series of boost libraries and teach them the best practices.

For middle-and high-level C ++ developers, Björn Karlsson briefly summarized all 58 boost libraries, and then comprehensively introduced 12 libraries, you will find these 12 libraries useful. Karlsson's topic explains how to use these libraries to improve your code from smart pointers and conversions to containers and data structures. He provides a detailed description of the high-order function object, through which you can write more concise, expressive, and readable code.

He even introduced you to the "behind the scenes" of boost to demonstrate the tools and technologies that can be used to create your own generic library.

This book covers:

• Smart pointers provide automatic object lifecycle management and simplify resource sharing.
• Provides consistent and optimal solutions for type conversion and lexical conversion.
• A set of Utility Classes (Utility Classes) makes programming easier and clearer.
• A flexible set of container libraries to solve common problems not covered by the C ++ standard library.
• Use boost. RegEx to provide strong support for regular expressions.
• Use the function objects defined on the call end by boost. Bind and boost. Lambda ).
• Use boost. function to implement more flexible callback functions.
• Use boost. signals to implement controlled signals and slots (that is, the observer mode ).

Boost libraries have proved so useful, and many of them are planned to be included in the next version of the C ++ standard library. Start learning now. Use this book beyond the C ++ standard library.
