Single-threaded batch processing where C++ performance optimization overhead exceeds benefits and simpler languages suffice

Core Concepts of Cpp Intermediate

Production-ready compilation flags and build commands

C++ STL: Standard Template Library Architecture

Three pillars: Containers (vector, map, set), Algorithms (sort, find, transform), Iterators (begin, end, random_access). Type-safe generic programming. See C++ STL containers tutorial examples below.

⚠️ Common Error

Mixing incompatible iterator types or using invalidated iterators after container modification

✓ Solution

Match iterator types to containers. Refresh iterators after insert/erase: auto it = vec.erase(it);

+300% code reusability

C++ Templates: Generic Programming Foundation

Compile-time polymorphism with template<typename T>. Function templates for algorithms, class templates for data structures. Template specialization for type-specific optimizations.

+100% type safety, 0% runtime cost

How to Use Smart Pointers in C++: RAII Memory Management

std::unique_ptr (exclusive ownership), std::shared_ptr (reference counting), std::weak_ptr (break cycles). Automatic cleanup, no manual delete. Essential for exception safety.

95% fewer memory leaks vs raw pointers

C++ Multithreading: Concurrent Programming with std::thread

std::thread for parallel execution, std::mutex for data protection, std::lock_guard for RAII locking, std::atomic for lock-free operations. std::async for task-based parallelism.

⚠️ Common Error

Race conditions from unprotected shared data or deadlocks from wrong lock ordering

✓ Solution

Always lock mutexes in same order. Use std::lock() for multiple mutexes. Prefer std::scoped_lock (C++17).

C++ Move Semantics: Zero-Copy Resource Transfer

std::move() for explicit moves, rvalue references (T&&) for move constructors/assignment. Transfers ownership without copying. Perfect forwarding with std::forward<T>(). 70-90% performance gain for large objects.

+85% performance for container operations

20min debugging + 2min fix
Avg fix time
Fix
Update iterator: it = vec.erase(it); or refresh after modification. Use index if appropriate.
✓ ✅ Valid iterators, no segfaults
Forgetting to join() or detach() std::thread
Frequency: 18%
Cause: Thread object destroyed while still joinable causes std::terminate
15min debugging + 3min fix
Avg fix time
Fix
Always: if (t.joinable()) t.join(); before destruction. Or use std::jthread (C++20).
✓ ✅ Clean thread lifecycle, no aborts

✓ ✅ Thread-safe access, correct results
Deadlock from Circular Lock Dependency
Frequency: 12%
Cause: Thread A locks mtx1 then mtx2, Thread B locks mtx2 then mtx1
60min debugging + 5min fix
Avg fix time
Fix
Always lock in same order globally, or use std::scoped_lock(mtx1, mtx2); (C++17)
✓ ✅ No deadlocks, deterministic locking
Memory Leak from Circular shared_ptr References
Frequency: 14%
Cause: Two objects holding shared_ptr to each other, reference count never reaches zero
30min debugging + 5min fix
Avg fix time
Fix
Use std::weak_ptr for back-references: std::weak_ptr<Parent> parent;
✓ ✅ Objects properly destroyed, zero leaks
Using Moved-From Object
Frequency: 16%
Cause: Accessing object after std::move() without checking validity
10min debugging + 2min fix
Avg fix time
Fix

✓ ✅ Valid objects, no undefined behavior
Template Instantiation Explosion (Code Bloat)
Frequency: 8%
Cause: Template instantiated for many types, binary size explodes
Variable + optimization pass
Avg fix time
Fix
Use explicit instantiation, type erasure, or runtime polymorphism for large templates.
✓ ✅ Reduced binary size 40-60%
Accessing expired weak_ptr Without Checking
Frequency: 10%
Cause: Dereferencing weak_ptr.lock() without checking for nullptr
5min debugging + 1min fix

✓ ✅ Valid captures, no dangling references
Slicing When Passing Derived Class by Value
Frequency: 11%
Cause: void func(Base obj) called with Derived, slices to Base type
15min debugging + 2min fix
Avg fix time
Fix
Pass by reference or pointer: void func(const Base& obj) or Base* obj
✓ ✅ Polymorphic behavior preserved
Exception Thrown in Destructor
Frequency: 7%
Cause: Destructor throws during stack unwinding, calls std::terminate
20min debugging + 5min fix
Avg fix time
Fix
Mark destructors noexcept, catch and log exceptions inside destructor.
✓ ✅ Safe unwinding, no terminate() calls
Virtual Function Called in Constructor
Frequency: 9%
Cause: Base constructor calls virtual, derived override not yet initialized
30min debugging + 10min refactor
Avg fix time
Fix
Avoid virtual calls in constructors. Use init() method called after construction.
✓ ✅ Correct polymorphic behavior

Cpp Intermediate Troubleshooting Guide

Common Cpp Intermediate errors with root cause analysis and verified fixes

error: no matching function for call to std::make_unique

Symptom

Compilation fails when using make_unique in C++11 mode

Root Cause

make_unique was added in C++14, not available in C++11

Fix

Use -std=c++14 or -std=c++17 flag, or implement custom make_unique for C++11

Verification

✓g++ -std=c++14 compiles successfully

Segmentation fault after container.erase()

Symptom

Crash when accessing iterator after erase operation

Root Cause

erase() invalidates iterators, continuing to use old iterator

Fix

Update iterator: it = container.erase(it); Use return value

Verification

✓No crashes, iterator remains valid throughout loop

Program hangs indefinitely with multiple threads

Symptom

Deadlock: all threads blocked waiting for mutexes

Root Cause

Circular lock dependency or forgotten unlock

Fix

Use std::lock_guard (RAII), lock in consistent order, or std::scoped_lock for multiple

Verification

✓Program completes, no hangs, all threads make progress

std::bad_alloc exception thrown

Symptom

Memory allocation fails with bad_alloc

Root Cause

Requesting too much memory or memory exhaustion

Fix

Check allocation sizes, use reserve() for vectors, check system limits with ulimit

Verification

✓Allocations succeed, catch bad_alloc for graceful handling

Thread created but not executed

Symptom

std::async task never runs or runs later than expected

Root Cause

Default launch policy may defer execution until get() is called

Fix

Explicitly use std::launch::async: std::async(std::launch::async, func)

Verification

✓Task executes immediately in separate thread

Template instantiation depth exceeded

Symptom

Compiler error: recursive template instantiation exceeds depth limit

Root Cause

Template recursion too deep or circular template dependency

Fix

Increase limit: -ftemplate-depth=1024 or fix recursive template with base case

Verification

✓Compilation succeeds with proper recursion termination

Race condition: results vary between runs

Symptom

Program produces different outputs on identical input

Root Cause

Unprotected shared data access from multiple threads

Fix

Protect with std::mutex or use std::atomic. Run with -fsanitize=thread to detect

Verification

✓ThreadSanitizer reports zero races, consistent results

vector iterator not dereferenceable

Symptom

Debug assertion failure when dereferencing iterator

Root Cause

Iterator points to end() or invalidated position

Fix

Check: if (it != vec.end()) before dereference. Validate iterator after modifications

Verification

✓No assertion failures, valid iterator checks

Multiple definition of template function

Symptom

Linker error: multiple definition of 'func<int>'

Root Cause

Template function defined in .cpp file, included in multiple translation units

Fix

Move template definitions to header or use inline keyword

Verification

✓Linker succeeds, single definition per instantiation

std::shared_ptr use_count never reaches zero

Symptom

Memory leak despite using shared_ptr

Root Cause

Circular references between shared_ptr objects

Fix

Use std::weak_ptr for back-references to break cycle

Verification

✓Valgrind shows zero leaks, objects properly destroyed

Perfect forwarding doesn't work with braced initializers

Symptom

Cannot forward {1, 2, 3} through std::forward

Root Cause

Braced-init-list is not an expression, can't deduce type

Fix

Explicitly specify type: func(std::vector<int>{1,2,3}) or use auto

Verification

✓Compiles and forwards correctly

Lambda capture of member variable fails

Symptom

Compiler error: 'this' cannot be implicitly captured

Root Cause

Trying to capture member variable without capturing 'this'

Fix

Capture this: [this] or [=, this] or C++17: [*this] for copy

Verification

✓Lambda accesses member variables successfully

std::future destructor blocks unexpectedly

Symptom

Program hangs when future goes out of scope

Root Cause

Future from std::async blocks in destructor until task completes

Fix

Call future.get() explicitly or use std::thread for fire-and-forget

Verification

✓No unexpected blocking, explicit synchronization

Atomic operation causes performance degradation

Symptom

std::atomic version slower than expected

Root Cause

Using sequential consistency (default) when not needed

Fix

Use relaxed memory ordering: atomic.load(std::memory_order_relaxed) if applicable

Verification

✓Performance improved while maintaining correctness

Template argument deduction failed

Symptom

error: no matching function for call to 'func'

Root Cause

Compiler cannot deduce template parameter from arguments

Fix

Explicitly specify: func<int>(arg) or add type hints in function signature

Verification

✓Compilation succeeds with explicit or deducible types

// Before: Widget* w = new Widget();
// After:
auto w = std::make_unique<Widget>();

✅ Exclusive ownership enforced

Step 315 converted to shared_ptr

Replace with shared_ptr for shared ownership

// Before: Resource* r = new Resource();
// After:
auto r = std::make_shared<Resource>();

✅ Reference counting active

Step 4No memory errors detected

Run AddressSanitizer

g++ -fsanitize=address -g app.cpp && ./a.out

✅ ASan clean

Step 5Exceptions documented

Document remaining raw pointers

// Remaining raw pointers justified:
// 1. FFI with C library (non-owning)
// 2. Performance-critical path (profiled)

✅ Security audit complete

✓

✅ 94% smart pointer adoption, documented exceptions, ASan verified
