Ch. 3: Pointers, References, new & delete
Section 11.5: Cmd-Line Arguments

• Quiz 1
• HW2
• Command-line arguments
• Overloaded functions; name mangling using nm & c++filt

• Our friend, post-increment
• Array names are pointers
• if ("b" > "a")
• int *****horrible;
• local static variables
• Call-by-reference, revisited

• Complex class example
• ctors, dtors, copy ctor, operator=

• initializer lists
• static members

• conversion functions
• explicit

• C++ is extensible, not mutable
• Operator overloading, member vs. non-member

• Review for midterm

• First midterm

• Review the midterm
• Inheritance (is-a) vs. composition (has-a)
• Calling methods in base class
• Base class in initialization list
• copy ctor in derived class calls copy ctor in base class
• operator= in derived class calls operator= in base class
• typedef for base class alias instead of super
• Slicing

• Discuss HW3
• operator++ & operator++(int) in Complex
• Polymorphism
• Virtual functions / virtual dtors
• dynamic dispatch
• ‡dynamic_cast‡

• #include guards
• Abstract base class as interface
• Pure virtual method

• Member vs. non-member functions in Complex
• private (lousy default)/public/protected inheritance
• Multiple inheritance
• Friendship is not inherited
• There is no Object class.
• Not much reflection in C++: typeid() & ‡type_info‡

gtkmm lab
Help with HW3

• Virtual inheritance
• The Dreaded Diamond
• Examples

Programming paradigms:

• Imperative
• Declarative
• Event-driven examples

• Discuss HW3
• Error handling the old-fashioned way:
  • exit
  • abort
  • assert
  • signal
  • divide
• Exception handling examples:
  • throw
  • try #1
  • try #2
  • catch #1
  • catch #2
  • rethrow
• The <‡stdexcept‡> header file.

• Quiz 2
• Discuss HW4
• ‡auto_ptr‡ example
• Boost smart pointers example

• Of course there will be a curve—it’s impossible to avoid one.
• Last withdrawal is “next” Monday.

Namespaces:

• Access a whole namespace: using namespace std;
• Access a class: using std::ofstream;
• Access a symbol: using std::cout;
• The std namespace: std::string
• The global namespace: ::bar
• <math.h> vs. <cmath>
• Namespaces are open, classes are closed
• std is closed, anyway
• Nested namespaces
• The anonymous namespace
• Libraries & namespaces
• Namespace aliases: namespace HP = Hewlett_Packard;
• Symbol resolution & namespace ambiguity

• Class hierarchy
• IO Header Files
• typedef basic_foo<char> foo;
• typedef basic_foo<wchar_t> wfoo;

‡ios‡:

• State: ‡ios::good‡ / ‡ios::eof‡ / ‡ios::fail‡ / ‡ios::bad‡
• ios has no open() method
• Misuse of ‡ios::eof‡
• Stream as a bool / void *

HW4 due Thursday 11:00AM
(delayed to Saturday 11:00AM due to CSU snow closure)

‡ostream‡:

• ‡ostream::put‡ / ‡ostream::write‡
• ‡ostream::seekp‡ / ‡ostream::tellp‡
• manipulators

‡istream‡:

• ‡istream::get‡ / ‡istream::unget‡ / ‡istream::peek‡

‡stringstream‡:

• ‡stringstream::str‡
• Using stringstream for general conversion

Serialization, lack of

• The Rule of the Big Three
• Interpreting g++ syntax errors

RAII:

• It’s a Design Pattern
• Acquisition - Use - Release
• Use RAII when you think “Don’t forget to ...”
• Simplicity of description/state
• Immune to early return/throw
• Examples:
  • ‡autoptr‡ to dynamic memory
  • file handle / socket / database / other OS resources
  • mutex (lock)
  • list membership

Mixins:

• is-a, but not really
• Make the ctor/dtor protected
• override new/delete
• noncopyable / noninstantiatable
• loudness for debugging
• timestamp
• ID number
• serialization
• Alternative ways to achieve the same goal
