The programmer-friendly guide to maximizing C++ application performance! Getting a program to work is just the beginning: it must work efficiently, making the most of limited time, memory, and disk space. Now, legendary programmer Steve Heller —author of the best-seller Who's Afraid of C++?— introduces a collection of power house algorithms that can supercharge virtually any C++ program. From streamlining random access to variable-length records to speeding large database sorts, you'll find it here-along with practical, “nothing-left-out” explanations. Coverage includes:

• Advanced dynamic hashing and caching algorithms.
• Bitmaps and other data compression techniques.
• Fast-sorting algorithms that use memory efficiently.

Based on the new ANSI C++ standard, this “programmer-friendly” book includes extensive real-life examples and code samples - all personally typeset by the author to minimize the chance of error. If you want to squeeze every last drop of performance out of your C++ code, Optimizing C++ is the book you've been waiting for!

The accompanying CD-ROM includes a complete collection of Steve Heller's Optimizing C++ algorithms, plus an industrial-strength C++ compiler.
