C++ Footprint and Performance Optimization will fill in the knowledge gaps for programmers who have been trained without regard to software performance from a program level. Programmers will learn what optimization options are available at the start of a project as well as all other major areas where performance gains can be made. Throughout the book readers can participate in the fine-tuning of a stand alone sample application. Chapters on advanced tips, and cautions will prepare programmers for cross platform or multilanguage projects. Topics covered include: -- Embedded system programming-- Functions-- Efficient Memory Management-- Handling Blocks of Data-- Data Storage methods: stacks, arrays, lists, and trees.-- Optimizing I/O routines-- Advance...
