@H_404_3@The biggest problem I have with C++ is that it’s waaay too easy to think that you’re a “C++ programmer” without really understanding all the things you need to understand to use C++ acceptably well.

@H_404_3@You’ve got to know RAII,and know to use namespaces,and understand proper exception handling (for example,you should be able to explain why the pop() methods in the STL do not return the values they remove). You’ve got to know which of the three generations of functions in the standard library is the right one. You should be familiar with concepts like PIMPL. You need to understand how the design of the standard library (especially the STL) works. You need to understand how macros interact with namespaces,and why you usually shouldn’t use macros in C++,and what you should use instead (usually templates or inlines,rarely a class). You need to know about boost.
