string::find()

string("AnyString").find(string("\0"), 0) != string::npos
This means a null character matches any string.

typedefs

If you remove 'typedef' from a valid typedef statement, you get a valid declaration.

This Pointer

The type of the 'this pointer' in a const member function of class C is: C const * const.

Multi-dimensional Arrays

int rowcol1[][2] = {1, 2}; compiles. int rowcol2[2][] = {1, 2}; doesn't.
Reference: "C++ Gotchas" by Stephen C. Dewhurst. Addison-Wesley, 2002., p. 19.

Multilevel Pointers

A pointer to a pointer is an example of a multilevel pointer.

C++98: dynamic_cast

When a dynamic_cast fails on a pointer, it returns 0; on a reference, it throws std::bad_cast exception.
Reference: C++ Common Knowledge by Stephen C. Dewhurst. Addison-Wesley, 2005., p. 32.

C++98: Pointers to Inlined Functions

It is legal to have a pointer to an inlined function.
Reference: C++ Common Knowledge by Stephen C. Dewhurst. Addison-Wesley, 2005., p. 50.

C++98: Overloaded Functions

It is legal to take the address of an overloaded function.
Reference: C++ Common Knowledge by Stephen C. Dewhurst. Addison-Wesley, 2005., p. 51.

C++98: operator new

'operator new' is in the global scope, not in the std namespace.
Reference: C++ Common Knowledge by Stephen C. Dewhurst. Addison-Wesley, 2005., p. 82.

C++98: Covariant Return Types

When overriding virtual function returns D*, and the overridden function returned B*, where D derives from B; then B* and D* are covariant return types.
Reference: C++ Common Knowledge by Stephen C. Dewhurst. Addison-Wesley, 2005., p. 107.

C++98: New Operator

'new operator' and 'operator new' are different functions.
Reference: C++ Common Knowledge by Stephen C. Dewhurst. Addison-Wesley, 2005.p. 119.

C++98: Complete Specialization

A complete specialization is another name for a class template explicit specialization.
Reference: C++ Common Knowledge by Stephen C. Dewhurst. Addison-Wesley, 2005., p. 156.

C++98: Template Specialization

template <typename T> class X<T *> {...} is a specialization of template <typename T> class X {...}
Reference: C++ Common Knowledge by Stephen C. Dewhurst. Addison-Wesley, 2005., p. 196.

C++98: Templates

vector<int> is a class; it is not a template.

C++98: Containers

When you use vector, you are really using vector >
