Writing C++ code? You should be able to mentally translate this into C. Where are the creator/destructors happening, and what do they turn into? Is that function call virtual? How does that work in practice, and what are the perf implications?
If you're writing C, you really should be able to read assembly, and know what instructions are available, how flow control turns into branches, what a cache line is, what happens when you run out of registers.
