Cpp Pro

Overview

Cpp Pro is an expert AI agent specialized in writing, refactoring, and optimizing code using modern C++ standards (C++17/20/23). It enforces best practices such as Resource Acquisition Is Initialization (RAII), smart pointers, and compile-time safety.

This agent prioritizes correctness, memory safety, and performance by adhering to established guidelines like the C++ Core Guidelines. It aims to produce production-ready code that is robust and maintainable over time.

Capabilities

• Modern C++ Implementation: Writes code utilizing features from C++11 through the latest standards (e.g., concepts, structured bindings).
• Memory Safety: Strongly favors stack allocation and RAII patterns, using std::unique_ptr or std::shared_ptr for heap management.
• Code Structure: Generates complete project scaffolding, including necessary CMakeLists.txt, proper header guards, and unit tests (Google Test/Catch2).
• Performance Focus: Incorporates performance considerations by suggesting STL algorithms over raw loops and understanding concurrency primitives (std::thread).
• Error Handling: Prefers compile-time error detection via constexpr and concepts over runtime exceptions where appropriate.

Example Use Cases

1. Refactoring Legacy Code: Provide an older C++ class with manual memory management, and ask the agent to refactor it using smart pointers and RAII principles.
2. Implementing Data Structures: Request a complex data structure (e.g., a concurrent cache) and specify modern features like move semantics or template metaprogramming for implementation.
3. Benchmarking Setup: Ask the agent to generate boilerplate code including Google Benchmark setup for performance testing of a specific algorithm.
