I'm not really aware of such a document, sorry. There's a thing called cppfaq, 
but it is woefully out-of-date and also has some questionable advice, if I 
remember correctly. To get a quick overview, maybe you could glimpse through 
the various "What's new in C++??" documents?

The major problem is that there are just so many different paradigms when it 
comes to writing C++. My, admittedly not very helpful, advice would be to read 
other peoples code and ask if something appears weird.

I started writing a rather long email on the common C++-resource management 
idioms, but then it occurred to me that many of these things are in conflict 
with Qt's way of doing things. Moreover I feel it would be too long for the 
mailing list. If you are interested, I will finish these quick thoughts and 
send them off-list.

Berthold
