I started to read into "Effective Modern C++" but it seemed the book (or at least the beginning) focused too much on obscure edge-cases of C++ for me before I stopped reading. "Effective C++" didn't feel that way for me and many tips were useful on a day-to-day basis. Is this just me or did you have a similar experience? I read those books quite some time ago so my brain could also wrong me here...
- 72deluxe 10y agoI noticed there were many edge cases in it but it happened to cover a lot of issues inside some C++11 code I'd written and I find out it quite enlightening, particularly the section regarding reference collapsing, type deduction and the bit on threading really not working like you would expect. I have not read the previous ones so not really sure on the style difference with them. I wonder if it depends on the sort of code you were writing - I was making use of std::thread and incorrectly assuming a certain behaviour.
