My point was that you can easily stumble into a tight contract (at least in certain respects) in C++. At any rate, it's something that Java-school teachers like

  It may surprise you to know Uncle Bob has written C++ design books as well. ;-) There are lots of books on C++ design that focus particularly on the semantics of contracts that are comparatively unique to C++ (Sutter, Meyers, Alexandrescu, and Abrams all have a pretty established following). Indeed, I'd argue C++ is one of the few languages where you really need to read a lot of the supporting literature before you are much of a useful coder.

  Robert C Martin - Agile Software Development: Principles, Patterns, and Practices There's now an updated version of this book for C# but the first one deals with C++. This book explains, in details, how to architecture your application around use cases. "Game Coding Complete 5" also talks about moderately large scale C++ high-level design. Of course, it's focused on games, but unlike other game programming books, it deals with things like dependency inversion, abstracting away the framework, data-driven architectures, etc. It's surprisingly hard to find books talking about high-level software architecture ; Amazon is flooded with technology-specific books (things like "Learn <insert framework name> in 7 days", whose lifetime is so short, you wonder, why write a book about this in the first place).
