Introduction
Terminology
Chapter 1. Accustoming Yourself to C++
Item 1: View C++ as a federation of languages
Item 2: Prefer consts, enums, and inlines to #defines
Item 3: Use const whenever possible
Item 4: Make sure that objects are initialized before they're used
Chapter 2. Constructors, Destructors, and Assignment Operators
Item 5: Know what functions C++ silently writes and calls
Item 6: Explicitly disallow the use of compiler-generated functions you do not want
Item 7: Declare destructors virtual in polymorphic base classes
Item 8: Prevent exceptions from leaving destructors
Item 9: Never call virtual functions during construction or destruction
Item 10: Have assignment operators return a reference to *this
Item 11: Handle assignment to self in operator=
Item 12: Copy all parts of an object
Chapter 3. Resource Management
Item 13: Use objects to manage resources.
Item 14: Think carefully about copying behavior in resource-managing classes.
Item 15: Provide access to raw resources in resource-managing classes.
Item 16: Use the same form in corresponding uses of new and delete.
Item 17: Store newed objects in smart pointers in standalone statements.
Chapter 4. Designs and Declarations
Item 18: Make interfaces easy to use correctly and hard to use incorrectly
Item 19: Treat class design as type design
Item 20: Prefer pass-by-reference-to-const to pass-by-value
Item 21: Don't try to return a reference when you must return an object
Item 22: Declare data members private
Item 23: Prefer non-member non-friend functions to member functions
Item 24: Declare non-member functions when type conversions should apply to all parameters
Item 25: Consider support for a non-throwing swap
Chapter 5. Implementations
Item 26: Postpone variable definitions as long as possible.
Item 27: Minimize casting.
Item 28: Avoid returning "handles" to object internals.
Item29: Strive for exception-safe code.
Item 30: Understand the ins and outs of inlining.
Item31: Minimize compilation dependencies between files.
Chapter 6. Inheritance and Object-Oriented Design
Item 32: Make sure public inheritance models "is-a."
Item 33: Avoid hiding inherited names
Item 34: Differentiate between inheritance of interface and inheritance of implementation
Item 35: Consider alternatives to virtual functions
Item 36: Never redefine an inherited non-virtual function
Item 37: Never redefine a function's inherited default parameter value
Item 38: Model "has-a" or "is-implemented-in-terms-of" through composition
Item 39: Use private inheritance judiciously
Item 40: Use multiple inheritance judiciously
Chapter 7. Templates and Generic Programming
Item 41: Understand implicit interfaces and compile-time polymorphism
Item 42: Understand the two meanings of typename
Item 43: Know how to access names in templatized base classes
Item 44: Factor parameter-independent code out of templates
Item 45: Use member function templates to accept "all compatible types."
Item 46: Define non-member functions inside templates when type conversions are desired
Item 47: Use traits classes for information about types
Item 48: Be aware of template metaprogramming
Chapter 8. Customizing new and delete
Item 49: Understand the behavior of the new-handler
Item 50: Understand when it makes sense to replace new and delete
Item 51: Adhere to convention when writing new and delete
Item 52: Write placement delete if you write placement new
Chapter 9. Miscellany
Item 53: Pay attention to compiler warnings.
Item 54: Familiarize yourself with the standard library, including TR1
Item.55: Familiarize yourself with Boost.
