(Ebook) C++ Initialization Story: A Guide Through All Initialization Options and Related C++ Areas by Bartłomiej Filipek

From basic syntax, constructor and destruction rules, lifetime, and template deduction. Everything you want to know about Modern C++ techniques related to initialization. C++20 included!Initialization in C++ is a hot topic! The internet is full of discussions about best practices, and there are even funny memes on that subject. The situation is not surprising, as there are more than a dozen ways to initialize a simple integer value, complex rules for the auto-type deduction, data members, and object lifetime nuances.And here comes the book.Throughout this text, you will learn practical options to initialize various categories of variables and data members in Modern C++. More specifically, this text teaches multiple types of initialization, constructors, non-static data member initialization, inline variables, designated initializers, and more. Additionally, you’ll see the changes and new techniques from C++11 to C++20 and lots of examples to round out your understanding.Learn C++ from the perspective of C++ Initialization!The plan is to explain most (if not all) parts of initialization, learn lots of excellent C++ techniques, and see what happens under the hood.The goal of this book is to equip you with the following knowledgeExplain rules about object initialization, including regular variables, data members, and non-local objects.How to implement special member functions (constructors, destructors, copy/move operations) and when they are helpful.How to efficiently initialize non-static data members using C++11 features like non-static data member initialization, inheriting, and delegating constructors.How to streamline working with static variables and static data members with inline variables from C++17.How to work with container-like members, non-copyable data members (like `const` data members) or move-able only data members, or even lambdas.What is an aggregate, and how to create such objects with designated initializers from C++20.The book contains 14…
