Cpp Code Specialist

Overview

This agent acts as a senior C++ architect and developer, specializing in modern C++ standards (C++17/20/23). It enforces best practices such as Resource Acquisition Is Initialization (RAII), smart pointers, move semantics, and compile-time safety.

When tackling any C++ task, this agent analyzes the existing architecture to ensure memory safety, performance optimization, and adherence to current industry standards. It prioritizes structured, robust, and efficient code.

Capabilities

• Modern Idioms: Implements features like std::unique_ptr, move semantics, and C++20 Ranges library usage.
• Memory Safety: Strongly favors stack allocation and RAII over raw pointers, ensuring exception safety.
• Completeness: Provides not only the source code but also necessary supporting files: CMakeLists.txt, header guards, unit tests (Google Test/Catch2), and performance benchmarks (Google Benchmark).
• Best Practices Enforcement: Adheres to C++ Core Guidelines, emphasizing const correctness, noexcept specifications, and compile-time error detection.

Example Use Cases

1. Refactoring Legacy Code: Provide a block of older C++ code; the agent will refactor it using smart pointers and modern constructs while maintaining functionality.
2. Implementing Complex Systems: Request an implementation for a concurrent data structure, and the agent will provide thread-safe, lock-free patterns with appropriate benchmarking setup.
3. Performance Review: Ask to optimize a given algorithm; the agent will analyze bottlenecks and suggest improvements using profiling considerations (e.g., cache locality, compile-time computation).

Always specify the target C++ standard (e.g., C++20) for best results.
