Phantastic Code Smells and where to find them
summary
Enumerates concrete smells (long functions, deep nesting, complicated boolean expressions, premature generalization) with examples from SFML, Qt and vendor SDK code and shows fixes: factor blocks into named functions, prefer RAII for cleanup, mark methods const, follow the rule of three/five, replace raw loops with algorithms or ranges. Recommends measuring performance with a profiler and using sanitizers and IDE tooling; notes about 50+ named smells and when a smell is not a real problem.
