the `.h` to the `.cpp` should not result in build errors
- Use the RAII (Resource Acquisition Is Initialization) paradigm where possible. For example by using
`scoped_pointer` for allocations in a function.
`unique_ptr` for allocations in a function.
- *Rationale*: This avoids memory and resource leaks, and ensures exception safety
@ -287,10 +287,9 @@ C++ data structures
- *Rationale*: Behavior is undefined. In C++ parlor this means "may reformat
the universe", in practice this has resulted in at least one hard-to-debug crash bug
- Watch out for vector out-of-bounds exceptions. `&vch[0]` is illegal for an
empty vector, `&vch[vch.size()]` is always illegal. Use `begin_ptr(vch)` and
`end_ptr(vch)` to get the begin and end pointer instead (defined in
`serialize.h`)
- Watch out for out-of-bounds vector access. `&vch[vch.size()]` is illegal,
including `&vch[0]` for an empty vector. Use `vch.data()` and `vch.data() +
vch.size()` instead.
- Vector bounds checking is only enabled in debug mode. Do not rely on it
