Notes about modern C++, C++11, C++14 and C++17, Boost Libraries, ABI, foreign function interface and reference cards.

CPP C++ Papyrus

C++ - CPP

Core C++

• Technology Landscape and Usage of C++
• Understanding C++ (C++ in-depth)
  • Exploring C++ basic and advanced concepts and also modern C++ features with both small and reproducible C++ sample programs and interactive examples taken from the CERN’s ROOT/Cling REPL tool.
• Passing C++ Lambdas to C function-pointer callbacks
• Standard Library Map
  • Hyperlinks to the C++ standard library and C++ ISO standard documentation categorized by common functionality.
• STL Iterators and Algorithms
• Standard Library IO - Input and Output
• C++17 new features and containers
• Template Metaprogramming
  • also known as generic programming.
• Preprocessor and macros
• Math and numerical computing
• Multithreading and concurrency
• Design Patterns
  • Object Oriented Design Patterns + Generic Programming Design Patterns + Functional Programming.
• General Programming Reference Card

Libraries and frameworks

• Standard Library Map
  • Hyperlinks to the C++ standard library and C++ ISO standard documentation categorized by common functionality.
• Boost Libraries / Boost Framework
  • Boost Libraries (note: Boost libraries are regarded as a complement of the C++ standard library and many of its components come from Boost libraries.)
• C++ Libraries Review / Lightweight libraries
• C and C++ Libraries Bookmarks
  • Bookmarks of C++ libraries and frameworks for many domains, including: general C++ programming; system programming; embedded systems; physics, engineering and numerical computing.
• Embedded Scripting Languages
  • Survey of small and lightweight programming languages available as libraries that can be embedded in C++ application for adding scripting capabilities.

C and C++ Tooling

Building Systems and package managers

• Compiler flags and options
  • Reference card for C++ compiler options. GCC, Clang and MSVC(VC++) compilers.
• Cmake Building System
  • Coverage of CMake building system. One of the most used building system and with the best cross-platform support.
• Other building systems
  • Coverage of C++ most used building systems such as GNU-Make and so on.
• Package Managers

General

• Tooling
  • Compilation of several development tools for C and C++.
• C and C++ Debuggers Notes
  • Notes about C and C++ debuggers. Covered: GDB (GNU Debugger) and WinDBG (Windows Debugger).
• Doxygen - Documentation Generator
  • Doxygen documentation generator examples.
• CERN’s Root C++ REPL and CLING
  • Notes about the CERN’s interactive interpereter based on Clang/LLVM for C++ where the user can type and evaluate C++ code, load libraries like shared libraries, boost libraries and and also test C++ with immediate feedback. ROOT is invaluable tool for learn, practicing C++ and create demonstrations.

System Programming

• Linux and Unix system programming in C++
  • System programming on Unix-like operating system with focus on Linux.
• Windows API Programming in C++
  • C++ system programming for Win32/Win64 API. Note: The Windows API is not part of the ISO C++ Standard and is exclusive to this operating system.

Miscellaneous

• C++ Alternatives and mixed C++ development
  • Mixed C++ development strategies and alternative programming languages to C++ with the following capabilities: native code compilation; high performance; static typing and ability to call C-APIs.
• Shared Libraries - DLL - Binary Components in C++ / FFIs - Language Interoperability
  • Creating shared libraries, C-interfaces or C-APIs for C++ functions and classes. A C-interface allows a C++ library to be consumed from C and many programming languages with foreign-function interface support such as Python (ctypes FFI), C# Pinvoke, Java (JNA) and so on.
• C Wrapper for C++ Libraries and Interoperability
  • Presents how to create C wrappers for calling C++ libraries from C and other programming languages via FFI - Foreign Function Interface. This note provides a sample C wrapper for QT-5 Widgets GUI library that allows calling QT from C, Julia language and D language. The techniques used in this particular case can be reused for interoperability between many other C++ libraries and programming languages.
• Interfacing C APIs and libraries
  • Examples about how to interface and create wrappers to C APIs or libraries in modern C++ or C++ >= C++11 and use STL containers with C-APIs.
• Embed Resources into Executables (Resource compilation)
  • About how to embed resources, assets, images, texts and binary files into executables.
• Sample programs in modern C++ style
  • Complete small C++ programs and proof-of-concepts.
