The guidelines are designed to be modern, machine-enforceable wherever possible, and open to contributions and forking so that organizations can easily incorporate them into their own corporate coding guidelines. Often, a loop that requires a break is a good candidate for a function (algorithm), in which case the break becomes a return. inheriting from collections.MutableSequence. and sometimes a namespace is so fundamental and prevalent in a code base, that consistent qualification would be verbose and distracting. to supply the argument count. argument is rather ad-hoc. For example: See also: Generic programming and concepts. Certain types of functionality might An implementer of a function should avoid setting such traps for users. the director class. The more traditional and lower-level near-equivalent is longer, messier, harder to get right, and most likely slower: Once the checking for overflow and error handling has been added that code gets quite messy, and there is the problem remembering to delete the returned pointer and the C-style strings that array contains. Provide only as much functionality as makes sense for a specific container. If the Violations of rules will be flagged with references (or links) to the relevant rule. Such systems (e.g. This rule is redundant if you dont detach() and use gsl::joining_thread. However, there are billions of lines of code littered with macros and a long tradition for using and overusing macros. list_base_hook or intrusive_ref_counter). Otherwise, a nameless tuple is useful in generic code. If there is a default constructor, compare those assignments to the initializations in the default constructor. No additional initialization, such as by memcpy, should be required. Further more, by and bad habits die hard. The Lifetime rules will also provide general rules that flag escaping pointers and references including via lambdas.). If you have a class with a virtual function, you dont (in general) know which class provided the function to be used. More specific and detailed rules are easier to enforce. You cant partially specialize a function template per language rules. It is possible to clean this up using Python code, typemaps, and other required compiler option -fPIC discussed above, you will need to be cin and cout are by default synchronized with printf. Code gets reused. might be something like this: The features described in this section make it easy for you to add implementation. ??? into a shared library file. In the following, class Bar will get a director class that handles However, it will take time: legacy code is generated faster than we can renovate old code, and so it will be for a few years. if (instance == null) this, the arrays created by this library are extremely low-level in SWIG provides some features that enable you do do this. If Prefer using a named struct where there are semantics to the returned value. Check names against a list of known confusing letter and digit combinations. However, sometimes this isn't avoid returning const references in director methods. Instead, they strongly recommend the use of a few simple extensions (library components) 3.4. which cover other unsafe operations that allow bounds violations. When this example is compiled into a Python module, it operates as follows: In this example, the typemap is applied to all occurrences of the int datatype. dynamic enforcement tools: Clangs Thread Sanitizer (aka TSAN) Precisely stating what is expected of a supplier of a service and a user of that service is essential. The C++17 rules are somewhat less surprising: Use ={} if you really want an initializer_list. To run your new Python extension, simply run Python but that should be done only when the called function is supposed to modify the object. This can be messy: Simulating RAII can be non-trivial, especially in functions with multiple resources and multiple possible errors. double or from int32 to int64), brace initialization might be used instead. The rules are not intended to be minimal or orthogonal. The type profile bans reinterpret_cast and C-style casts. For example: This behavior is especially important for classes that act as Numeric Python array just work normally? Prefer static polymorphism to hierarchy navigation where it is possible (no run-time resolution necessary) If i == 0 the file handle for a file is leaked. It is the fundamental building block of programs. You dont need to write error handlers for errors caught at compile time. Doing so avoids verbosity and eliminates some opportunities for mistakes. then a file example.py is created. for a function that doesn't actually exist in a library. (pointer, size)-style interfaces are error-prone. Thanks to the many people who contributed rules, suggestions, supporting information, references, etc. Some of these expressions are unconditionally bad (e.g., they rely on undefined behavior). The aim of this document is to help people to use modern C++ effectively. If you are writing a program that simply produces an output based on an input and the amount of memory needed is proportional to the size of the input, the optimal strategy (for performance and ease of programming) is sometimes simply never to delete anything. If you are declaring an object that is just about to be initialized from input, initializing it would cause a double initialization. feature). And, in this case, missed an opportunity for a generalization. We also need more rules. Only use const void* for passing in data in designs that are indescribable in C++. The correctness consideration is that many calls want to perform side effects on the original object at the call site (see example below). set of compiler/linker options. If a C function has an argument of char *, then a Python string Prefer a unique_ptr over a shared_ptr if there is never more than one owner at a time. The assumption that the pointer to char pointed to a C-style string (a zero-terminated string of characters) was still implicit, and a potential source of confusion and errors. A simple way to do this is to use the carrays.i library file. The latter is an inherently simpler operation that ought to be faster. On the other hand, the implementation of modify1 is exactly as we would have written it for single-threaded code, Python extensions for Windows with only free tools should get you started. This rule was added after many requests for guidance. exactly like native C++ classes. compilers tends to be rather problematic. Modifying loop counters in both the iteration-expression and inside the body of the loop is a perennial source of surprises and bugs. For further information of how to use synchronization well to eliminate data races, please consult a good book about concurrency (See Carefully study the literature). Any threads spawned to execute the code of read_value are hidden behind The compiler does not read comments, and without reading other code you do not know whether p really points to n elements. Use czstring in preference to const char*. A rule can do harm by failing to prohibit something that enables a serious error in a given situation. From a language perspective class and struct differ only in the default visibility of their members. To decrease code size and run time. These guidelines are not intended to be a substitute for a tutorial treatment of C++. Every object passed as a raw pointer (or iterator) is assumed to be owned by the We have had comments to the effect that naming and layout are so personal and/or arbitrary that we should not try to legislate them. The common, most frequent, and safest examples can be handled statically, so we dont want to add cost and complexity to those. Consider the major objections to exceptions in turn. data contained in the string. There are cases where checking early is inefficient because you might never need the value, or might only need part of the value that is more easily checked than the whole. The field of performance is littered with myth and bogus folklore. Windows). It is often a good idea to express the invariant as an Ensures on the constructor. For example: This typemap macro requires the buffer to be a zero terminated string, It is even possible to slow down code by compile-time computation. inheritance. big-endian vs. little-endian). %mutable. Specifically, For example: If vector suits your needs but you dont need the container to be variable size, use array instead. Proxy classes provide a more natural, object-oriented way to access There is a disadvantage of using static classes. This section contains materials that have been useful for presenting the core guidelines and the ideas behind them: Note that slides for CppCon presentations are available (links with the posted videos). However, C# in combination with the Common Language Runtime provides a static initializationapproach, which circumvents these issues without requiring the developer to explicitly code for thread safety. In the "SWIG basics" and "SWIG and C++" chapters, This will greatly reduce the amount of wrapper code. Here, the conventional semantics is maintained: Copies compare equal. or is its ugliness a feature? (e.g., because of changes to a network library or some middleware), so changes bubble up through long call chains. The Python name of the wrapper function being created. implementations lower in the inheritance chain. Allow exception for zstring/czstring pointer types. importer will use that package name when importing the other module Similarly, don't try to manually cast It is nearly impossible to write useful code if these operations can fail, and even if something does go wrong it nearly never makes any sense to retry. However, it should not be assumed to be stable. Unique owner types that are move-only and cheap-to-move, such as unique_ptr, can also be passed by value which is simpler to write and achieves the same effect. In addition, the variable is marked readonly, which means that it can be assigned only during static initialization (which is shown here) or in a class constructor. We expect that most large organizations, specific application areas, and even large projects will need further rules, possibly further restrictions, and further library support. system normally only checks a few standard locations such as Use cases that require concepts (e.g. The problem is that v.size() returns an unsigned integer so that a conversion is needed to call the local ==; If iterators are needed to access an array, use the iterators from a span constructed over the array. This section covers answers to frequently asked questions about these guidelines. Programmers who write casts typically assume that they know what they are doing, We want owners identified so that we can reliably and efficiently delete the objects pointed to by owning pointers. Readability. To create a constant, use #define, enum, or the By default, a director maybe you should design and implement it, and then use it. have one ComputationCache instance per thread, or one per context for any definition of context. There are similar techniques for selecting the optimal function to call. If an exception occurs in Python at this point, it would be nice This example not only violates the no naked new rule as in the previous example, it has many more problems. but that doesnt change the fact that complicated expressions are potentially confusing. If you dont understand a rule or disagree with it, please visit its Discussion. When functions return a char *, it is assumed to be a NULL-terminated string. In the context of C++, this style is often called Stroustrup. For example: In addition to the autodoc strings described above, you can also In the previous section, a high-level view of Python wrapping was -preserving (D disappointed me so much when it went the Java way). See the Palo Alto TR for examples. Static analysis can catch many common patterns of the use of pointers indicating positions (thus eliminating dangling pointers), If the compiler doesnt do it, let tools flag it. A destructor must be non-private or it will prevent using the type: We can imagine one case where you could want a protected virtual destructor: When an object of a derived type (and only of such a type) should be allowed to destroy another object (not itself) through a pointer to base. collected. Whether it should behave virtually or not. If so, it is turned into a tuple and the new output value is concatenated to it. Does this class need a destructor? is a surprisingly insightful design question. Rationale: Consistence in naming and naming style increases readability. This cannot trivially be rewritten to initialize i and j with initializers. For example, you can write code like this: When raising a Python exception from C, use the PyErr_SetString() Statements control the flow of control (except for function calls and exception throws, which are expressions). it just guarantees that the function can be evaluated at compile time for constant expression arguments if the programmer requires it or the compiler decides to do so to optimize. The following is included for This is a useful convention. these threads can be seen as just a function object called from some_fct. Note that template aliases replace many uses of traits to compute a type. Leaving an object without its invariant established is asking for trouble. director class is deleted it decrements the reference count. member functions, properties (managed attributes), and class methods. Avoids nasty errors from unreleased locks. Usually this means that the derived type needs to override a base virtual function or needs access to a protected member. Consider the my connection will not close example. Instruction reordering (static and dynamic) makes it hard for us to think effectively at this level (especially if you use relaxed memory models). But be warned: Such classes also tend to be prone to requiring virtual inheritance. a range version of accumulate would be even better: but dont hand-code a well-known algorithm: Large parts of the standard library rely on dynamic allocation (free store). To avoid files being #included several times. Readability: the complete logic of the loop is visible up front. There are many variants of the singleton idea. The reason is that (as opposed to pointers and Booleans) an integer often has more than two reasonable values. Probably there is a problem at the other end of the connection and only a piece of code responsible for both ends of the connection can properly handle the problem. No locking is needed: You cant have a data race on a constant. very least, make sure you read the "SWIG Similar to R.12, which tells you to avoid raw owning pointers, you should A good interface is easier and safer to use. ), References: [SuttAlex05] Item 52; [Cline99] 30.01-14, [Koenig97] 4, [Stroustrup00] 5.5, 10.4, [SuttHysl04b]. (Simple) ((Foundation)) If a function checks a pointer parameter against, (Complex) If a function with pointer return value ensures it is not. Higher-level concurrency mechanisms, such as threads and mutexes are implemented using lock-free programming. stores its output value, it will simply be placed in this local variable. Beware of complementary constraints. It is also possible to deal with situations like this using a system call, That is, the last owner deletes the object. C-style error handling is based on the global variable errno, so it is essentially impossible to avoid this style completely. No. This makes the functions reseating explicit. Look for messy loops, nested loops, long functions, absence of function calls, lack of use of non-built-in types. To avoid the tedium and the possibility of errors, try to follow the rule of zero. What is Port? But we must also cope with the uncommon, less-safe, and necessarily more expensive cases. Text manipulation is a huge topic. just to gain a minor convenience. We appreciate volunteer help! Interfaces that promise no change of objects passed as arguments greatly increase readability. For example: Notice how the INPUT parameters allow integer values to be passed instead of pointers We must aim for gradual adoption. cases that should have been caught but were allowed. All data races are nasty. You can use the simplest singleton (so simple that it is often not considered a singleton) to get initialization on first use, if any: This is one of the most effective solutions to problems related to initialization order. or if a set of specialized guidelines is to be applied for a specialized application area. extension module _example.so. Splitting initialization into two leads to weaker invariants, Aim for professionalism, not cool., Readability. If you mean to slice, define an explicit operation to do so. The rules for {} initialization are simpler, more general, less ambiguous, and safer than for other forms of initialization. There are environments where restrictions on use of standard C++ language or library features are necessary, e.g., to avoid dynamic memory allocation as required by aircraft control software standards. we suffer the overhead of a function call at run time. This too, quickly becomes unmanageable. This section looks at passing messages so that a programmer doesnt have to do explicit synchronization. Whatever we do in the //-part, an arbitrary user of a pair can arbitrarily and independently change its a and b. The specific names .h and .cpp are not required (just recommended as a default) and other names are in widespread use. If you define a copy constructor, you must also define a copy assignment operator. Readability. While it is not a complete definition of trivial, consider whether there would be any difference beyond syntax if the getter/setter was a public data member instead. Flag a lambda that is a coroutine and has a non-empty capture list. The class invariant - here stated as a comment - is established by the constructors. Assuming that you want initialization, an explicit default initialization can help: Classes that dont have a reasonable default construction are usually not copyable either, so they dont fall under this guideline. Templates provide a general mechanism for compile-time programming. For example: The C++11 initializer list rule eliminates the need for many constructors. Overload instead. However, in Python, it They are emphatically not meant to define a, say, Java-like subset of C++. The hexadecimal encoding is not necessarily the Avoid code bloat. Consistent use of this technique turns many classes of thread-safety errors into compile-time errors. Warn on an overload set where the overloads have a common prefix of parameters (e.g., (Simple) Warn when capture-list contains a reference to a locally declared variable, (Complex) Flag when capture-list contains a reference to a locally declared variable and the lambda is passed to a non-, Flag any lambda capture-list that specifies a default capture and also captures, Issue a diagnostic for passing an argument to a vararg parameter of a function that does not offer an overload for a more specific type in the position of the vararg. Unless you do, nothing is guaranteed to work and subtle errors will persist. Types can be defined to move for logical as well as performance reasons. Is it better? In a class template, non-virtual functions are only instantiated if theyre used but virtual functions are instantiated every time. vector and array are the only standard containers that offer the following advantages: Usually you need to add and remove elements from the container, so use vector by default; if you dont need to modify the containers size, use array. pyabc.i also provides a macro %pythonabc that could be Look at the initialization of raw member pointers and member references and see if an allocation is used. For example, how else And it will run fast you can afford to do things right. Alternative formulation: A header file must contain only: A maintainer of bar cannot find all declarations of bar if its type needs changing. For starters, consider every class with a destructor as resource handle. Vendors take Resulting Context Now if the queue is empty when a thread executing get() wakes up (e.g., because another thread has gotten to get() before it), Maybe a heuristic looking for data items used together is possible. The less sharing you do, the less chance you have to wait on a lock (so performance can improve). All code in the system might as well see and manipulate them. implementations higher in the inheritance chain or to Python The more code there is in such base class member function implementations and the more data is shared by placing it in the base, When a class derived from a proxy class is created, Even today, there can be contexts where the rules make sense. You can also set the value of an array member using when the return value is garbage collected). Leaving hard-to-detect errors in a program is asking for crashes and bad results. Such names are commonly used for macros. A structured binding (C++17) is specifically designed to introduce several variables: In a long list of declarators it is easy to overlook an uninitialized variable. For example, in the above code, the This section focuses on relatively ad-hoc uses of multiple threads communicating through shared data. But when doing so, use std::string_view or span from the GSL to prevent range errors. Its far easier to reason about programs when called functions dont modify state. Instead, prefer to put the common code in a common helper function and make it a template so that it deduces const. However, waste spread liberally across a code base can easily be significant and experts are not always as available as we would like. Now all resource cleanup is automatic, performed once on all paths whether or not there is an exception. SWIG C++ type-system. of an implementation. Doing so messes the semantics of the objects (e.g., by overwriting a vptr). For example: However, a library should not depend on another that depends on it. For example, see Stroustrup94. For example: If you would like to access variables using a name other than "cvar", it can be Elaborately optimized code is usually larger and harder to change than unoptimized code. Its efficient and eliminates bugs at the call site: X&& binds to rvalues, which requires an explicit std::move at the call site if passing an lvalue. See I.???. If you have a good reason to use another container, use that instead. We could carefully release the resource before the throw: This is verbose. To make it clear that the condition is a postcondition and to enable tool use. lower_bound returns an iterator to the first match if any, otherwise to the first element greater than val, or last if no such element is found. The objects are also sorted into views, according to their geometric attributes. ), not_null provides the same guarantee as T&. ??? Minimizing the amount of source code. The enforcement parts try to be that, but we would rather leave a rule or a definition a bit vague The fundamental aim is to ensure that we dont leak any resources and that we dont hold a resource longer than we need to. Now For example: Explicit comparison of an integer to 0 is in general not redundant. On the Linux x86_64 platform (Opteron or EM64T), besides of the A base class constructor that does work, such as registering an object somewhere, might need a constructor. This could result in a noticeable overhead in some cases. Imagine what a cracker could do with that dangling pointer. This function is by most measures too long anyway, but the point is that the resources used by fn and the file handle held by is If an exception is not supposed to be thrown, the program cannot be assumed to cope with the error and should be terminated as soon as possible. The following implementation allows only a single thread to enter the critical area, which the lock block identifies, when no instance of Singleton has yet been created: //Staticconstructorisexecutedonlyoncewhenthetypeisfirstused. The guidelines aimed at preventing accidents often ban perfectly legal C++. Using unique_ptr in this way both documents and enforces the function calls reseating semantics. the method in the C++ inheritance chain is called explicitly. objects (as director objects) via a common base class pointer, one If set to 0 (or if the attribute is missing), then the destruction Claims of performance improvements from final should be substantiated. Equivalent to what is done for copy-assignment. For example: Occasionally, it might be necessary to convert pointer values that have use. A library is a collection of declarations and definitions maintained, documented, and shipped together. generates the proxy code by default, your users will normally get Defining small amount precisely is impossible. Using in-class member initializers lets the compiler generate the function for you. The key is to pass sufficient information for a good implementation to be chosen.

If the gadget isnt correctly constructed, func exits with an exception. Interfaces should normally be composed entirely of public pure virtual functions and a default/empty virtual destructor. so they cant be regular; instead, they tend to be move-only. but at least we can see that something tricky is going on.). This is a useful convention. No. Webwhere. If you intend to call your own helper function helper(t) with a value t that depends on a template type parameter, If writing support code in C isn't enough, it is also possible to write code in When copying is cheap, nothing beats the simplicity and safety of copying, and for small objects (up to two or three words) it is also faster than passing by reference because it does not require an extra indirection to access from the function. Portability. This saves the user of Matrix from having to know that its elements are stored in a vector and also saves the user from repeatedly typing typename std::vector::. There is no such thing. By itself, cout_my_class would be OK, but it is not usable/composable with code that rely on the << convention for output: There are strong and vigorous conventions for the meaning of most operators, such as. This declares an unnamed lock object that immediately goes out of scope at the point of the semicolon. for dealing with cleanup where resource management is not systematic. not. example, the following SWIG interface: will generate a Python proxy class Mapii inheriting from For example: Now, in Python, everything should just "work": If you ever need to access the underlying pointer returned by operator->() itself, We encourage the development of such more specific rules as addenda to these core guidelines. Talk to your account team to get access. Besides destructors and deallocation functions, common error-safety techniques rely also on swap operations never failing in this case, not because they are used to implement a guaranteed rollback, but because they are used to implement a guaranteed commit. In such cases, crashing is simply leaving error handling to the next level of the system. The language requires virtual functions to be members, and not all virtual functions directly access data. This saves the user of Value_type from having to know the technique used to implement value_types. 13th IEEE Computer Society ISORC 2010 Symposium. To handle such exceptions correctly, it is necessary Whether it should be publicly available to all callers using a pointer to, If you write/disable either of the copy constructor or the copy assignment operator, you probably need to do the same for the other: If one does special work, probably so should the other because the two functions should have similar effects. and other compilers. However, this section focuses on what is specific to template implementation. However, most realistic Date classes have a first date (e.g. Dynamic tools like this are best when applied to integration tests, canary pushes, or unit tests that operate on multiple threads. If there is no need for optimization, the main result of the effort will be more errors and higher maintenance costs. that is, its members can take care of themselves as concerns destruction. Run-time checks are suggested only rarely where no alternative exists; we do not want to introduce distributed bloat. It can be used without changing any code using it and without affecting ABIs. For example: There is a lot of code that is non-specific about ownership. If theres no way to safely back out using no-fail operations, then no-fail rollback is impossible to implement. If you cant measure your complete system accurately, at least try to measure a few of your key operations and algorithms. It may If the function is going to unconditionally move from the argument, take it by, If the function is going to keep a copy of the argument, in addition to passing by, In special cases, such as multiple input + copy parameters, consider using perfect forwarding. pythonprepend feature will insert its value at the beginning of the but have a rough idea of the order of magnitude of cost of what you use. Here be dragons! Over the years, programming with templates have suffered from a weak distinction between the interface of a template Always leave the moved-from object in some (necessarily specified) valid state. This section lists recommended libraries, and explicitly recommends a few. size size_parm. (that is, one where the only form of concurrency is std::thread): Code that is never run in a multi-threaded environment. The = default is the best and simplest way of doing that. functions are used to safely perform this conversion: int SWIG_ConvertPtr(PyObject *obj, void **ptr, swig_type_info *ty, int flags), PyObject *SWIG_NewPointerObj(void *ptr, swig_type_info *ty, int own). the including file is moved to a new location), it will now be found ahead of the previous include file and the set of includes will have been changed in an unexpected way. This macro maps an object's buffer as a string pointer parm. Suppose that you had a collection of C functions with arguments Given a list of C-style allocation functions (e.g., fopen()), a checker can also find uses that are not managed by a resource handle. It may be the case that a method call originates in Python, travels up CustomMethod((IMyInterface)singletonSampleClass); See, (Simple) ((Foundation)) Warn when a parameter being passed by value has a size greater than, (Simple) ((Foundation)) Warn when a parameter passed by reference to, (Moderate) ((Foundation)) Warn about functions regarding reference to non-, For non-concrete types, such as types in an inheritance hierarchy, return the object by. Dynamic helps static: Offer a generic, comfortable, statically bound interface, but internally dispatch dynamically, so you offer a uniform object layout. Flag all unnamed lock_guards and unique_locks. No. For example: In this case, C is now holding a reference to the object---you probably don't want Python to destroy it. This is a set of core guidelines for modern C++ (currently C++20 and C++17) taking likely future enhancements and ISO Technical Specifications (TSs) into account. The director code does not currently use any of the other kinds of typemaps. For C++11, use a recursive formulation of fac(). goto is error-prone. manipulating low-level pointers, both functions are fully aware of but please think about the majority of programmers who are struggling to get their concurrent programs correct and performant. More specialized rules are often easier to understand and to enforce, but without general rules, they would just be a long list of special cases. and some older versions of GCC This section focuses on uses of coroutines. of how the proxy classes work. (Not enforceable) This is a too complex pattern to reliably detect. You cannot overload function objects. type-safety is defined to be the property that a variable is not used in a way that doesnt obey the rules for the type of its definition. insert link to a list of banned functions, Flag the use of those functions for types that are not trivially copyable. Python command or standard module name. This means, C++ objects. make_shared requires that the constructor is public. A union does not keep track of which member is stored so the programmer has to get it right; In a multi-threaded environment, the initialization of the static object does not introduce a race condition use in production. Use a span instead. For example, relying on system guaranteed cleanup such as file closing and memory deallocation upon process shutdown can simplify code. the lowest implementation in the inheritance chain. To fix: At least change the C array to a. the fastest general-purpose access (random access, including being vectorization-friendly); the fastest default access pattern (begin-to-end or end-to-begin is prefetcher-friendly); the lowest space overhead (contiguous layout has zero per-element overhead, which is cache-friendly). Implementation details in an interface make the interface brittle; Not everyone has the operator table memorized.
