Object Oriented Programming features of C++

6 OOP features in C++

  • Inheritance and code-level reuse
    • protected access specifier
    • Function Hiding
    • Multiple Inheritance
  • Polymorphism
    • Operators for User-defined Types
    • Function Overriding instead of Function Hiding
    • References as facilitators of Polymorphism
    • Achieveing Function Overriding with virtual and override
    • Preventing Function Overriding with final
    • Interfaces in C++ via Pure virtual Functions

8 The C in C++

  • Overview of the Compilation Process
    • Stages of Compilation
    • Linkage & Visibility
  • Low-level and Machine dependent stuff
    • <cstdint> and integrals with fixed sizes
    • volatile, static-linkage and extern
  • Bitwise Operator and Hacks
  • unions and thier (ab)uses
  • Arrays and Pointers
    • Arrays and std::array : The Lesser vectors
    • Pointers and the Heap
    • Memory Management in C++ : Introducing new and delete

9 Pointers and Memory Management in C++

  • Raw Pointers in C++ and RAII
  • Smart Pointers and Ownership: unique_ptr and shared_ptr
  • The this Pointer
