Item 80: A typical source of error is (transitively) including the same header file in many compilation units. This is an ODR violation. Instead, make a separate copy of that header file for each source file. #cplusplus #cpp #affectivecpp

Item 79: Choosing the right data structure is critical. Is memset too slow? Consider memunordered_set instead, to avoid the red-black tree in favor of hashing. See also memmap for key/value, mempriority_queue, memstack, etc. (thanks @jfbastien) #cplusplus #cpp #affectivecpp

Item 78: With multiply wrapped objects, such as unique_ptr to optional, if you want to access a member of wrapped object, use the long arrow operator. Instead of v.get()->value().member, do v--->member. @ivan_cukic explains: cukic.co/2017/07/12/the… #cplusplus #cpp #affectivecpp

Item 77: The difference between char and wchar_t is that char is for narrow characters, and wchar_t is for wide characters. Store letters like i and j in a char, and letters like m and w in a wchar_t. (Thanks @chrisoldwood) #cplusplus #cpp #affectivecpp

The difference between char and wchar_t in C++ is that char is for narrow characters and wchar_t is for wide characters. So you’d store letters like i, l, and t in a char but M and W in a wchar_t…
