Effective C++

by Scott Meyers
(3rd edition, Addison Wesley, 2005)

The index of this book contains several “allusion to...” entries. These include:

Barry, Dave, allusion to 229

On page 229: ג... I am not making this up ...”.

Monty Python, allusion to 91

On page 91: “This version of operator*, then, doesn't return a reference to a Rational - it returns a reference to an ex-Rational; a former Rational; the empty, stinking, rotting carcass of what used to be a Rational but is no longer, because it has been destroyed.”

Also in the index:

pun, really bad 152

On page 152, while discussing the Bird and Penguin classes: “Yet we're not finished with these fowl matters.”

And:

goddess see Urbano, Nancy L.
Urbano, Nancy L. vii, xviii, xx
see also goddess

Nancy L. Urbano is Meyers' wife.

Special thanks to Ian West for contributing these items.
