Crowd Review
summary
A live crowd review shows several short C++ snippets that either fail to compile or embody decades-old habits: book claims C++11/14/17 yet examples use C-style arrays, raw pointers, new/delete and strcpy, with no RAII or value semantics. The offending manual is a ninth edition sold 300–500K copies and presents modern features in appendices while promoting outdated patterns; reviewer demonstrates broken code, contrasts it with modern expectations, and urges community-written, corrected resources.
