  • C++ quality programming for C developers    
    • C++ is still an important programming language, especially when speed of execution, reliability and efficiency are important
    • C++ is available in different standards: C++98, C++03, C++11, C++14, C++17, C++20.
    • However the complexity of the language is exceptionally high
    • How to program reliable C/C++ software?
    • Which features of the language quickly enhance your productivity
    • C++ pitfalls and common errors
    • Ensure portability
    • Reasonable performance tuning
    • Coding guidelines / style guides
    • Training will be tailored to your needs
    • Example content:
      • classes and class hierarchies
      • namespaces
      • initializer_list
      • templates
      • C++ standard library
      • containers and iterators
      • std::vector, std::map ...
      • C++03, C++11, C++14, C++17
      • efficient sorting
      • algorithms
      • memory management and memory leaks
      • exceptions
      • smart pointers
      • streams
      • unit tests with cppunit

  • When software quality is vital: MISRA C++ programming standard for safety critical systems

    • MISRA C and C++ were designed for the automotive industry, but are now also used in other areas
    • programming guidelines consisting of rules and recommended procedures. They are designed to avoid software errors, or at least detect them early
    • Bad source code / software quality leads to ...
      • defects
      • accidents
      • recalls of products
      • damage to the company’s reputation
      • law suits
    • Productivity of software developers is lower ...
      • they spend more time locating software bugs
      • projects are late
      • source code is not portable
      • source code is difficult to understand and has unexpected side effects
    • MISRA rules form the core of other well-known coding standards, e.g. HighIntegrity C++, SEI CERT C and CERT C++, AdaptiveAutosar C++14 ruleset
    • Also several international standards refer to MISRA, e.g. ISO 26262 (automotive)
    • There are now several versions of the MISRA standards for C und C++:
      • MISRA C:1998 for ISO:C90
      • MISRA C:2004: (enhancements)
      • MISRA C:2012 for ISO:C99
      • MISRA C++:2008 for C++03
      • MISRA C++:2020 for C++17

    • Important for you: sufficient training of the project team members and the court-proof organization of development processes!
