CS247: Software Engineering Principles

My favourite course in 2B. Ross Evans is insane at teaching. He knows C++ unlike Derek…

A class that focuses on Design Patterns and C++.

Final

• Final Review CS247

• CS247 final practice

• Review lost marks on midterm

  • vptr question
  • some random multiple choice questions

• Add in design pattern for Constructor notetodo

• How do operators get inherited with polymorphism?

• Review complete Lec 22, and Exception Handling, Exception Safety L12 and L22

• CRTP, Visitor pattern.

• RAII and SOLID: RAII is basically managing memory by using smart_ptr. SOLID is good programming practice for longevity of program.

• Virtual Methods AND Inheritance

• Generally, we don not call the constructor directly with a pointer, because of the following issues: L13 → basically use make_unqiue<>

• Write out Visitor Pattern, not satisfied, now use the CRTP pattern

• 2 problems with shared_ptr: cycle and double deletion?

• static_cast doesn’t allow you to cast an AbstractBook* to an int* for example. reinterpret_cast does.

• Why the ordering obscure when defining a unique pointer inside of a function call? A:  The ordering is not only obscure when defining a unique pointer, it can also occur with other functions. In c++14, there is no specification/standard of the ordering, so it is obscure.

CS247 Midterm

Thoughts on final:

• He ended up just asking about the Observer and (I forgot what other) Design Pattern.
• Some True and False questions. Need to explain why it’s false.
• Easy overall

Midterm

From Lecture 1 to Lecture 11 (middle somewhere). Understand the big 5 ahhhhh.

Questions: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yBlP1CHDUH5gxp0wspMzOOMV9iYvjfRQ-JJDe8w0coI/edit#

• When to declare a function as List?
• Does a class (let’s call it B) within a class (let’s call it A) have access to A’s private fields?
  • https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/nested_types
• What does the keyword explicit mean?
