What's on your C++ cheatsheet? [closed]

Answer 1

Since I work in C++ all the time I keep most of the syntax in my head. For library reference I use sgi and Josuttis' book. When I haven't done C++ for a while and really want a refresher I go back to Effective C++.

When I need to ansewer a deeper question I'll refer to the standard or Stroustrup's book.

When all else fails, google and stackoverflow are great tools.

Answer 2

On my C Cheatsheet (and on the C++ one by extension), pointer to function syntax.

Answer 3

Not really on a cheat sheet, and not really specific to C++, but I have "Flush the buffer!" on a sticky note to remind me of what's probably wrong when I'm not receiving data.

Answer 4

On my cheatsheet: interactions between const and pointers:

int       *       p;  // pointer
int const *       p;  // pointer to const value
int       * const p;  // const pointer
int const * const p;  // const pointer to const value

Essentially, split the declaration on the * symbol and if the const falls to the left, the pointed-to value is const, and if it falls to the right, the pointer itself is const.
