Damn. I almost need to create part of it in C. Still not sure how to use the placement array version of new, without getting its "real" size before hand. Wrt the act of having to call the ctor of each element. Say, std::malloc's a 1000 unsigned chars, and the name placement new array adds in some metadata. Well, the size is not big enough to hold the damn header! Shi%! What am I missing? ;^o |

Yes. When the data is valuable then I prefer to close the stream explicitly anyway regardless of RAII. Issues that are discovered in destructor are inconvenient to handle. |

From its description you may wish to give a look at Stroutstrup's A Tour of C++ (Second edition) which says "It covers C++17 plus a few likely features of C++20" https://www.stroustrup.com/tour2.html Disclaimer: I didn't read it, maybe others can give better informed advice. |

There are no such books called "reference books". You can have either the standard itself or subscribe to various newsletters and continue reading various blogs. Books are for people who wants to learn something; Blogs, newsletters and videos are for people who wants to know something new. In your retirement, you have plenty of time to keep browsing the web, and and subscribing to various spam newsletters and blogs. |

Maybe he has left but that pdf was fine overview of features in C++11 and C++14. OP said his knowledge is from 2008-2010 with book about C++17. So I did hope it fills the gap. > > About reference I think <https://en.cppreference.com/w/> is really > > good reference (when there is internet access). > It can be installed locally. Oh, I have never even tried its html book version. Is its search engine good? |
| ram@zedat.fu-berlin.de (Stefan Ram): Jun 21 07:54PM >reference book on C++ which covers everything (preferably) up to C++ 17. The reference is ISO/IEC 14882:2017(en). You can buy it from the ISO. Sometimes drafts of this might be made available which can be read in the Web. You can also have a look at: C++ primer by Barbara Moo et al. and/or The C++ programming language by Bjarne Stroustrup Make sure you always read the most recent edition! Also check out: The C++ core guidelines by Bjarne Stroustrup et al . The two famous series "Exceptional C++" by Sutter and "Effective C++/STL" (including "Effective Modern C++") by Meyers are getting old (except "Effective Modern C++" and possibly other more recent or updated editions) but are still recommendable for those readers who are able to understand which recommendations are obsolete today. |
