Course objectives
The goal of this course is to expose students to advanced usage of C++ programming language.
Learning outcomes
At the end of the course the students should be able to: use the C++ language (in the newest standard) on an advanced level; use various programming techniques, notably generic, functional and parallel programming; understand the principles of memory and resource management in C++; debug, test and profile C++ programs using appropriate tools; be able to use modern C++ idioms and design patterns.
Syllabus
  • Introduction to the ISO C++14 standard
  • Debugging and testing
  • Functional programming in C++, lambda functions, algorithms
  • Move semantics: rvalue references, forwarding
  • Resource management, smart pointers, the RAII idiom
  • Profiling and optimizations
  • Generic programming and meta-programming using templates (variadic templates, SFINAE, ...)
  • Modern C++ idioms (CRTP, tags)
  • Parallel programming in modern C++: threads, atomic, introduction to lock-free data structures
  • Future of C++ (C++17, proposed concepts)
