52. this vs *this
      http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2750316/this-vs-this-in-c
53.calculate the Size of object of a class
54.Write a non-inheritable class(final class)

      http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1366441/final-class-in-c

55.Smart pointers , boost::shared_ptr or std::unique_ptr
  

std::shared_ptr<int> p1(new int(5));
std::shared_ptr<int> p2 = p1; //Both now own the memory.

p1.reset(); //Memory still exists, due to p2.
p2.reset(); //Deletes the memory, since no one else owns the memory.

56. New features in c++14
   auto and lambda,std::move constructor ,forward
57.Why do I need to return *this in an assignment operator function?
   To make assignment such as (obj3 = obj2) = obj1; to work.
58.Cache locality,SFINAE 
59.What is the difference between std::vector<int> x; and std::vector<int> x() ?
  First one declares a variable x of type std::vector. Second one declares a function x which returns       std::vector.
60. How to initialize constant and reference member variable?
  Using initialization list.
61.How would you delete object of singleton class?
  we can follow is “Reference counting” mechanism
62. factory vs Abstract factory

63.How thread synchronization done for pthreads
     http://www.bogotobogo.com/cplusplus/multithreading_pthread.php
64.How to debug threads in dbx/gdb
65.How to use c code in c++
65.What will the sizes of base and derived class object.
http://www.go4expert.com/articles/size-cpp-class-object-t16676/

class Base
{       char ch;
         int value;
        static double db;
    public:
        Base(){}
        virtual ~Base(){}      
        virtual void func() {}
};

class Derived : virtual public Base
{     int d1;
    public:
       void func(){}      
       virtual void func2(){}
};

Ans: Base b is of size=1byte char+3byte padding+4byte int+1 byte vtable pointer=12bytes
        Derived d=(12 bytes of Base)+ 4 byte Int + 4 Byte for Virtual derivation =20 bytes
