A collection of resources on modern C++.
The goal is to collect a list of resouces to help people learn about and leverage modern C++11 and beyond.
To add, remove or change things on the list: please submit a pull request to the GitHub repository.
- Consider the C++ Core Guidelines.
- Never manually format code, use clang-format.
- Build your code using CMake.
- Test your code using Catch.
- Also test using sanitized builds: AddressSanitizer, ThreadSanitizer and MemorySanitizer.
- Use a fuzzer to test untrusted input: afl, libFuzzer, KLEE.
