typeid question
Policies, traits, generics
has_member
- this post disucsses the possibility of checking whether a member of some type exists in the class, uses template metaprogramming
Exceptions are good…but to throw or not to throw is the problem — quite lengthy
- this post discusses the effective usage of exceptions; the main issues to understand are:
  - how to write exception safe code
  - when and how to catch exceptions
  - when should the exceptions be thrown
  - strategies to recover/retry
Detecting classes with virtual functions
- cool template trick to determine whether the class has virtual functions
auto_ptr copy semantics
The “smart guarantee”?
- extending the basic and strong expcetion guarantee
