# Defensive programming and debugging.

The text can be conveniently read on the

[Github pages site](https://gjbex.github.io/DPD-online-book/)

for this repository.  The material complements that of the FutureLearn MOOC

on ["Defensive programming and debugging"](https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/defensive-programming-and-debugging).

This is an online resource for defensive programming and debugging.  You will

find material on

* coding best practices

* error handling

* defensive programming

* documenting your code

* unit and functional testing

* debuggers (gdb, valgrind)

* taxonomy of bugs

* references and further reading

This is mainly aimed at scientific and high performance computing, so examples

are given for C, C++ and Fortran.  However, the principles are very similar for

other programming languages.

## Source code

Source code illustrating various kinds of bugs and the use of tools can be found in

the [source code directory](source_code/).

## Contributions

This is work in progress, and you are welcome to [contribute](CONTRIBUTING.md).  The material is
