Memory Program Concept C and C++

By Frantisek Franek

Book Overview

Assuming readers have a basic familiarity with C or C++, Frantisek Franek describes the techniques, methods and tools available to develop effective memory usage. The overwhelming majority of bugs and crashes in computer programming stem from problems of memory access, allocation, or deallocation. Such memory related errors are notoriously difficult to resolve. Moreover, the role that memory plays in C and C++ programming is a subject often overlooked in courses and in books. Most professional programmers learn about it entirely through actual experience of the problems it causes.

Customer Reviews

Very good information for the undergrad CS major

This is written for the programmer who isn't sitting in front of their computer. Because of this, the book is very readable. If you can go through this book and understand the concepts, you will be worlds ahead of most CS undergrads in their first year. It really ought to be required reading.

like someone said, i want to known more

It's always no hurt to read some fundermantal material written by a dumb-proof way by a professional. This book is one of kind. The only regret is that I'd like the book size to be doubled. Maybe assembly language book will cover the material which is missing from this book.

Book For Practical Programming.

The book is an excellent one. The author had made is sincere effort to make the concept very clear.The book is well organised in order to eliminate all ambiguity among topics. All examples are well said with the correct context. I think this book is for practical programmers who love the art of programming.

Rare book

Excellent coverage of all the memory routines. Lucid explanation but could have added a few more illustrations. Nevertheless, a book that which must be read by all professional C & C++ programmers.

A Useful & Innovative Book

The viewpoint adopted by this book is an original one, while the insights range from the elementary to the very advanced. The material is well organized, the writing style is excellent, there are numerous examples and exercises. In a world dominated by C/C++ programming, it is a book that I think every professional programmer/computer scientist/software engineer could read with profit.
