Yeah, right.

CppCon 2016: Herb Sutter “Leak-Freedom in C++... By Default.”

Better making use of the best practices advised by Herb, otherwise those destructors are going to surprise you.

It'll surprise him anyway, eventually. After all--humans aren't perfect programmers.

It has been more than thirty years since a destructor surprised me. Herb was unlikely to have been programming at that time.

So what are your credentials in the C++ community to top those from Herb Sutter?

Been on ISO C++ Standard committee for much longer than Herb? But I have no disagreements with Herb.

And authored impactful C++ books and ISO C++ papers such as?

I have no need to "top" Herb. He says nothing inconsistent with anything I have said.

Apparently yes, when you place in doubt his advices,

So apparently you have skills that top one of the major C++ community figures.

Being so, the C++ community at large would appreciate those valuable insights.

The only conclusion one can draw is that you are wholly unable to comprehend what you have just read, or aggressively don't care what it says. Either way, enough is enough.
