Every public element in your API is a promise. Prevent each new release to completely destabilize existing usages. A promise that you will support that functionality for the lifetime of the API. I stumbled on When I first started learning C++ (back in the bad old days) I was convinced that any 1st year student could design a better programming language. The Nokia Qt library provides a cross-platform application and UI framework for C++. The best way to succeed in this endeavor is to adhere to the tenets of good Application Programming Interface (API) design. I've been thinking a lot about APIs and their design recently. An anonymous coward just provided a link to API compliance checker. Don't Overpromise (from the book API Design for C++). However, designing reusable C++ interfaces that are robust, stable, easy to use, and durable is even more difficult. The goal when designing an API is to prevent the amoeba shaking effect - e.g. This requires standard unit testing as well, as something special - testing for binary compatibility There is a backward binary compatibility checker for shared libraries in C/C++. Proper API Design requires testing and verification. Jul30 2011 4 Comments Written by ali.tabatabaei.
