I’ve got some great news to share with you. Based on my series on when to use const
in C++, I wrote a book on the same topic and I released it on LeanPub!
In the book, I discuss the idea of constness which is so important that in certain languages entities are const
, in other words, immutable by default. If you want to become a seasoned C++ developer, you must understand how you can use const
correctly. In this book, you’ll learn when and how to use it in the different contexts it might appear:
const
functionsconst
local variablesconst
member variablesconst
return typesconst
parameters
Compared to the series of articles, the book contains extra code examples, more explanations and also the differences between const
west and east const
- without starting a holy war on different coding styles.
