Simple question

Hello people,
Maybe not a question for this group, but is there a
book that talks about how to code, as in, say locking
strategies for common situations( like how to avoid
locks, or what can be done to make min use of locks) ,
reference counting, etc, etc and common pitfalls et
all. I remember someone recommending Code complete, is
that a good one? And can someone recommend other books
out of personal experience?

Thanks,
Mark

Kumar’s book is more of a no-holds-barred high-end parallel processing book.
It’s your book if you’re into supercomputing, MPI, OpenMP, that is, if your
favorite debugger is TotalView and not SoftICE or Windbg ! It’s a very nice
book, though, I went through it cover to cover when I did my grad school
work on parallel computers a few years ago.

4 came out a couple of years ago; I think. I have not read it yet. It is
on my list after I finish a few other books.
