This delightfully written, lucid book is designed for professional programmers who know C thoroughly. It is a careful look at both sides of C++ from good object-oriented programming to "brain-damaged syntax." Key concepts are listed in the margins and are indexed for easy reference and further study. After discussion of the differences between C and C++, classes and polymorphism are introduced. The conclusion covers building class libraries and uses a linked-list library as a sample implementation. A companion disk with all examples is available separately.

Computing McGraw-Hill

Programmers, engineers, scientists, students, and others who work with C or C++: If you want to write better code without wading through a maze of technical material, this concise yet pithy guide is precisely the tool you need. Enough Rope to Shoot Yourself in the Foot offers well over 100 rules of thumb you can use to create elegant, maintainable code. And since it comes from an acknowledged expert in the field, you can't go wrong. Allen Holub provides an indispensable set of guidelines, tips, and techniques to help you use these extremely powerful languages to the fullest potential. But don't expect another dry programming guide. Holub manages to make a serious subject refreshingly readable by sprinkling the text with humor and insight.

Enough Rope to Shoot Yourself in the Foot: Rules for C and C++ Programming

From the Publisher\nMost texts on C programming lack essential technical background material--assuming (erroneously) that beginning programmers wouldn't understand it, and that advanced programmers already know it. Intermediate- level programmers on the other hand find the existing texts either not sufficiently comprehensive, or inaccessible and overwhelming. This supplement corrects these problems in two ways: 1) it provides background material useful for understanding the C language (making even the most advanced texts more intelligible, and 2) it looks in depth at several advanced topics (e.g., sophisticated uses of pointers and subroutines with a variable number of arguments).

From the Publisher 
This volume offers unusually accessible, less mathematical coverage of compilers topics -- taking an approach similar to that used by Tanenbaum for operating systems. 
 From the Back Cover 
Introduces the basics of compiler design, concentrating on the second pass (in a typical four-pass compiler), consisting of a lexical analyzer, parser, and a code generator. Uses the C language. Appropriate for compiler courses in CS departments.

Compiler design in C (Prentice-Hall software series)

For students, working engineers and programmers, this book teaches real-world compiler design concepts and implementation. The text dedicates the first chapter to an overview of the basic concepts in C programming, and presents a complete C compiler, including the complete sources for three compiler-generation tools (written in ANSI C). It also uses LeX and yacc to develop a complete C compiler, and includes a chapter dedicated to the coverage of C++ topics and features.
