ABSTRACT   This workshop provides insights into some of the traps and pitfalls in the C++ programming language. C++ has areas that are hard to understand intuitively and where intuition occasionally misleads even seasoned C++ programmers.  These areas include:    1. User-Defined Conversions    2. Operator Overloading    3. Const-Correctness    4. Expression Evaluation and Sequence Points    5. Member Function Redefinition    6. Initialization of Globals and Statics   This tutorial is at an introductory/intermediate level, aimed at programmers with a working knowledge of C++.  It consists of short lectures with interspersed code reviews to be performed by the attendants and subsequently discussed by the group. There is no need to bring laptops; just bring a pencil and your brain.

Level:	introductory / intermediate
Duration:	full day
Prerequisites:	Attendants should be familiar with C++. Expert knowledge of C++ is not required.
