There are several good compilers for C++ such as:
– MinGW / GCC
– Borland c++
– Dev C++
– Embracadero
– Clang
– Visual C++
– Intel C++
– Code Block

GCC and clang are great compilers if the programmer’s target more portability with good speed.
Intel and other compilers target speed with relatively less emphasis on portability.

What differences separate structure from a class in C++?

There are two important distinctions between a class and a structure in C++. These are:

1. When deriving a structure from a class or some other structure, the default access specifier for the base class or structure is public. On the contrary, default access specifier is private when deriving a class.
2. While the members of a structure are public by default, the members of a class are private by default

Can we provide one default constructor for our class?

No, we cannot provide one default constructor for our class. When a variable in the class type is set to null, it means that it was never initialized and the outcomes will be zero.

What Is Meant By Const_cast?


The const_cast is used to convert a const to a non-const. This is shown in the following program:

#include
void main( )
{
const int a = 0 ;
int *ptr = ( int * ) &a ; //one way
ptr = const_cast_ ( &a ) ; //better way
}

Here, the address of the const variable a is assigned to the pointer to a non-const variable. The const_cast is also used when we want to change the data members of a class inside the const member functions. The following code snippet shows this:

class sample
{
private:
int data;
public:
void func( ) const
{
(const_cast (this))->data = 70 ;
}
};

What is the default constructor?

The compiler provides a constructor to every class in case the provider does not offer the same. This is when the programmer provides the constructor with no specific parameters than it is called a default constructor. The code for default constructor can be displayed in the following example.

// Cpp program to illustrate the
// concept of Constructors
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class construct {
public:
int a, b;
// Default Constructor
construct()
{
a = 10;
b = 20;
}
};
int main()
{
// Default constructor called automatically
// when the object is created
construct c;
cout << "a: " << c.a << endl
<< "b: " << c.b;
return 1;
}

What Is The Disadvantage Of Using A Macro?

The major disadvantage associated with the macro is :

When a macro is invoked no type checking is performed.Therefore it is important to declare a macro coreectly so that it gives a correct answer whenever it is called inside the program.

Keyword Mean In Declaration?

This keyword indicated that the function or the variable is implemented externally and it emphasizes that the variable ot the function exits external to the file or function.

We use this keyword when we want to make anything global in the project, it does not lie within any function.

Explain the significance of vTable and vptr in C++ and how the compiler deals with them

vTable is a table containing function pointers. Every class has a vTable. vptr is a pointer to vTable. Each object has a vptr. In order to maintain and use vptr and vTable, the C++ compiler adds additional code at two places:

1. In every constructor – This code sets vptr:
1.Of the object being created
2.To point to vTable of the class
2. Code with the polymorphic functional call – At every location where a polymorphic call is made, the compiler inserts code in order to first look for vptr using the base class pointer or reference. The vTable of a derived class can be accessed once the vptr is successfully fetched. Address of derived class function show() is accessed and called using the vTable.

How C Functions Prevents Rework And Therefore Saves The Programmers Time As Well As Length Of The Code ?

As we know that c allows us to make functions and cal them where ever needed, it prevents rework by calling the same function again and again where ever requires intead for example if we make a funtion that adds two numbers, it can be called anywhere in the program where ever the addintion is needed and we do not need to code again for adding any number.

It also shortens the length of the program as we do not need to code again the same thing for next time we can simple call the funtion and use it whenever needed.

Can we have a recursive inline function in C++?

Even though it is possible to call an inline function from within itself in C++, the compiler may not generate the inline code. This is so because the compiler won’t determine the depth of the recursion at the compile time.

Nonetheless, a compiler with a good optimizer is able to inline recursive calls until some depth is fixed at compile-time and insert non-recursive calls at compile time for the cases when the actual depth exceeds run time.

What is the function of the keyword “Volatile”?

"Volatile" is a function that helps in declaring that the particular variable is volatile and thereby directs the compiler to change the variable externally- this way, the compiler optimization on the variable reference can be avoided.

Define Encapsulation in C++?

Encapsulation is the process of binding together the data and functions in a class. It is applied to prevent direct access to the data for security reasons. The functions of a class are applied for this purpose. For example, the customers' net banking facility allows only the authorized person with the required login id and password to get access. That is too only for his/her part of the information in the bank data source.

What are the differences between references and pointers?

Both references and pointers can be used to change local variables of one function inside another function. Both of them can also be used to save copying of big objects when passed as arguments to functions or returned from functions, to get efficiency gain.
Despite above similarities, there are following differences between references and pointers.

References are less powerful than pointers
1) Once a reference is created, it cannot be later made to reference another object; it cannot be reseated. This is often done with pointers.
2) References cannot be NULL. Pointers are often made NULL to indicate that they are not pointing to any valid thing.
3) A reference must be initialized when declared. There is no such restriction with pointers

Due to the above limitations, references in C++ cannot be used for implementing data structures like Linked List, Tree, etc. In Java, references don’t have above restrictions, and can be used to implement all data structures. References being more powerful in Java, is the main reason Java doesn’t need pointers.
References are safer and easier to use:
1) Safer: Since references must be initialized, wild references like wild pointers are unlikely to exist. It is still possible to have references that don’t refer to a valid location (See questions 5 and 6 in the below exercise )
2) Easier to use: References don’t need dereferencing operator to access the value. They can be used like normal variables. ‘&’ operator is needed only at the time of declaration. Also, members of an object reference can be accessed with dot operator (‘.’), unlike pointers where arrow operator (->) is needed to access members.

What are the differences between C and C++?

1) C++ is a kind of superset of C, most of C programs except few exceptions (See this and this) work in C++ as well.
2) C is a procedural programming language, but C++ supports both procedural and Object Oriented programming.
3) Since C++ supports object oriented programming, it supports features like function overloading, templates, inheritance, virtual functions, friend functions. These features are absent in C.
4) C++ supports exception handling at language level, in C exception handling is done in traditional if-else style.
5) C++ supports references, C doesn’t.
6) In C, scanf() and printf() are mainly used input/output. C++ mainly uses streams to perform input and output operations. cin is standard input stream and cout is standard output stream.

1. Middle-Level Programming Language: C programming supports high-level features like Pointers, Structures data structures and as well as it will supports assembly code also so we conclude c as a middle level programming language.
2. Structured oriented programming Language: C program is structure oriented programming language means it will execute the statement in sequence
3. Modularity: In c programming language we can reduce the more line number of code by using modularity
4. Portability: C programming language is platform-independent means with minor modifications we can reuse the code on different platforms also.
5. Powerful Data Structure: With the help of data structures we can implement the complex application easily.
