Idioms reference

[Paul]

Does anyone know a good reference for C++ idioms such as copy-on-write, copy-and-swap, RAII, CRTP, PIMPL etc. etc.

I noticed this: https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/More_C%2B%2B_Idioms

However, it seems to be exhaustive, without stressing the more common and standard patterns.

Thanks,

Paul

I haven't clicked it but “More” seems to imply a separate original list.

Cheers & hth.,

It contains the basics like copy-and-swap, RAII etc. but it also contains
obscurities like Barton Nackman trick.
"More C++ idioms" is an abbreviation for "More C++ idioms than you would
think would be contained in a book on C++ idioms."
In fact, the above is what the book used to be called, but the title was
thought to be insufficiently concise.

If you plan to work in a team with other people and on real code base
then you may use yourself some subset of idioms but you can't avoid
dealing with the ones that you don't use.
