The site is very clearly not a complete guide, and has to leave out 90% of what a competent C++ programmer should know about any given topic (in order to remain accessible). I mean, the word "undefined" only appears in two of the examples.
But I'd say it doesn't teach any bad (or outdated) habits, which is a big step up from most tutorials/articles/SO answers.
- scaredginger 4y agoYeah idk, I prefer when C++ teaching resources tell the reader where the bodies are buried. I couldn't give this to juniors and trust them not to leak memory Agree balancing accessibility and comprehensiveness is difficult though. I could see an argument for leaving shared ptr out of this guide if they think cyclic referencing is too advanced, and I can also see the argument that without knowing shared ptr exists, the user may write hacks much worse to get around the problem
