Introduction
1)declarations and definition
extern int x; // object declaration
int x; // object definition

2)默认构造函数,要么没有参数,要么制定参数的初始值,否则定义类的数组的时候会出错。

class A
{
public:
A(); // default constructor
};
A arrayA[10]; // 10 constructors called


class B
{
public:
B(int x = 0); // default constructor
};

B arrayB[10]; // 10 constructors called,
// each with an arg of 0

class C
{
public:
C(int x); // not a default constructor
};
C arrayC[10]; // error!


对无法直接声明为数组对象的类,则需要使用指针数组。
C *ptrArray[10]; // no constructors called

ptrArray[0] = new C(22); // allocate and construct
// 1 C object
ptrArray[1] = new C(4); // ditto


3)copy constructor 主要用于值传递的类

class String
{
public:
String(); // default constructor
String(const String& rhs); // copy constructor

private:
char *data;
};
String s1; // call default constructor
String s2(s1); // call copy constructor
String s3 = s2; // call copy constructor

4)initialization 与 assignment
string s1; // initialization
string s2("Hello"); // initialization
string s3 = s2; // initialization
s1 = s3; // assignment

前者是在构造函数中,后者是利用赋值操作符”=”,实际就是调用的函数不同。前者注重数据的合法性,而后者注重数据内存的管理。
// a possible String constructor
String::String(const char *value)


{

if (value)
{ // if value ptr isn't null
data = new char[strlen(value) + 1];
strcpy(data,value);
}

else
{ // handle null value ptr3
data = new char[1];
*data = '\0'; // add trailing null char
}
}
// a possible String assignment operator
String& String::operator=(const String& rhs)


{
if (this == &rhs)
return *this; // see Item 17

delete [] data; // delete old memory
data = // allocate new memory
new char[strlen(rhs.data) + 1];
strcpy(data, rhs.data);

return *this; // see Item 15
}


5)几种表达方式
1,const_cast is designed to cast away the constness of objects and pointers, a topic I examine in Item 21.
2,dynamic_cast is used to perform "safe downcasting," a subject we'll explore in Item 39.
3,reinterpret_cast is engineered for casts that yield implementation-dependent results, e.g., casting between function pointer types. (You're not likely to need reinterpret_cast very often. I don't use it at all in this book.)
4,static_cast is sort of the catch-all cast. It's what you use when none of the other casts is appropriate. It's the closest in meaning to the conventional C-style casts.
