Introduction
Chapter 1：Accustoming Yourselft0 C++
Item 1：View C++as a flederation oflanguages．
Item 2：Prefler 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：C0nstI'Uctors，DestI'Uctors，and Assignment operators
Item 5：Know what functions C++silently writes and calls．
Item 6：Explicitly disanOW the use of compilergenerated functions yOH do not want．
Item 7：Declare destruetors virtual in polymorphic base dasses．
Item 8：Prevent exceptions flrom leaVing destructors．
Item 9：Never call Virtual functions during construetion Or destruction．
Item 10：Have assignment operators return a reference tO*this．
Item 11：Handle assignment to self in operator=．
Item 12：CoPY a11 parts 0fan 0bject．
Chapter 3：Resource ManageInent
Item 13：Use objects to manage resources．
Item 14：Think carefully about copying behavior in resource-managing cIasses．
Item 15：Provide access t0 raw resources in resourcemanaging classes．
Item 16：Use the same form in corresponding uses 0f new and delete．
Item 17：store newed 0bjects in smart pointers in standalone statements．
Chapter 4：Designs and Declarations
Item 18：Make interfaces easy t0 use correctly and hard t0 use incorrectly．
Item 19：Treat claSS design as type design．
Item 20：Prefer pass-by-reference-to-const t0 pass_by-value．
Item 21：Don’try to return a refefence when you must return an o bject．
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 shonld apply to a11 parameters．
Item 25：Consider SUpport for a non-throwing swap．
Chapter 5：Implementations
Item 26：P0stpone variable definitions as 10ng as possible．
Item 27：Minimize casting．
Item 28：Avoid returning“handles”to object internals．
Itam 29：strive for exception-safe code．
Item 30：Understand the ins and outs 0f inlining．
Item 31：Minimize compilation dependencies between files．
Chapter 6：Inheritance and 0bject一0riented Design
Item 32：Make sure public inheritance models“is-a．”
Item 33：Avoid hiding inherited names．
Item 34：DifieFentiate between inheritance of interface and
inheritance of implementation．
Item 35：COIlSider alternatives to virtual functions．
Item 36：Never redefine an inherited non-virtnal fLlnction．
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 compiletime 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
hen 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 5o: 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.
