Initialize all primitive variables in functions and constructors. //: //: 1. Minimize use of pointers and pointer arithmetic. Avoid 'new' and //: 'delete' as far as possible. Rely on STL to perform memory management to //: avoid use-after-free issues (and memory leaks). //: //: 2. Avoid naked arrays to avoid out-of-bounds access. Never use operator[] //: except with map. Use at() with STL vectors and so on. //: //: 3. Valgrind all the things. //: //: 4. Avoid unsigned numbers. Not strictly an undefined-behavior issue, but //: the extra range doesn't matter, and it's one less confusing category of //: interaction gotchas to worry about. //: //: Corollary: don't use the size() method on containers, since it returns an //: unsigned and that'll cause warnings about mixing signed and unsigned, //: yadda-yadda. Instead use this macro below to perform an unsafe cast to //: signed.
