Publisher's Synopsis
System Programming with Modern C++: Practical Techniques for Robust and High-Performance Software
Are you ready to master system programming with the power and safety of modern C++? This book guides you through building fast, reliable, and maintainable system software that runs close to the hardware-without sacrificing clarity or security.
Explore essential system programming topics from memory and resource management, low-level data handling, to concurrency, asynchronous programming, and cross-platform development. Learn to leverage C++17, C++20, and C++23 features like smart pointers, coroutines, modules, and concepts to write code that is both high-performance and expressive.
What sets this book apart? It offers hands-on tutorials and real-world insights organized into clear chapters, including:
Foundations of system programming with modern C++ standards
Safe memory and resource management using RAII and smart pointers
Bitwise operations, atomic types, and efficient data structures
Operating system interfaces: filesystems, IPC, and process control
Concurrency, multithreading, and asynchronous event-driven programming
Cross-platform techniques for Linux, Windows, POSIX, and embedded systems
Security best practices, sanitizers, and static analysis tools
Performance engineering, profiling, and optimization strategies
Build systems, packaging, and continuous integration pipelines
Real-world projects: multi-threaded servers, CLI utilities, embedded controllers
Whether you are an aspiring system programmer or a seasoned developer, this book equips you with practical skills and deep understanding to write robust system software that performs at the highest level.
Take control of your system programming projects-build faster, safer, and more maintainable software today.
