Synopsis

System Programming with Modern C++: Practical Techniques for Robust and High-Performance Software

Are you ready to master system programming with the power and safety of modern C++? This book guides you through building fast, reliable, and maintainable system software that runs close to the hardware—without sacrificing clarity or security.

Explore essential system programming topics from memory and resource management, low-level data handling, to concurrency, asynchronous programming, and cross-platform development. Learn to leverage C++17, C++20, and C++23 features like smart pointers, coroutines, modules, and concepts to write code that is both high-performance and expressive.

What sets this book apart? It offers hands-on tutorials and real-world insights organized into clear chapters, including:

  • Foundations of system programming with modern C++ standards

  • Safe memory and resource management using RAII and smart pointers

  • Bitwise operations, atomic types, and efficient data structures

  • Operating system interfaces: filesystems, IPC, and process control

  • Concurrency, multithreading, and asynchronous event-driven programming

  • Cross-platform techniques for Linux, Windows, POSIX, and embedded systems

  • Security best practices, sanitizers, and static analysis tools

  • Performance engineering, profiling, and optimization strategies

  • Build systems, packaging, and continuous integration pipelines

  • Real-world projects: multi-threaded servers, CLI utilities, embedded controllers

Whether you are an aspiring system programmer or a seasoned developer, this book equips you with practical skills and deep understanding to write robust system software that performs at the highest level.

Take control of your system programming projects—build faster, safer, and more maintainable software today.
