The C++ Programming Language, Special Edition

The C++ Programming Language, Special Edition

by Bjarne Stroustrup (Author)

Synopsis

More than three-quarters of a million programmers have benefited from this book in all of its editions Written by Bjarne Stroustrup, the creator of C++, this is the world's most trusted and widely read book on C++. For this special hardcover edition, two new appendixes on locales and standard library exception safety (also available at www.research.att.com/~bs/) have been added. The result is complete, authoritative coverage of the C++ language, its standard library, and key design techniques. Based on the ANSI/ISO C++ standard, The C++ Programming Language provides current and comprehensive coverage of all C++ language features and standard library components. For example: * abstract classes as interfaces * class hierarchies for object-oriented programming * templates as the basis for type-safe generic software * exceptions for regular error handling * namespaces for modularity in large-scale software * run-time type identification for loosely coupled systems * the C subset of C++ for C compatibility and system-level work * standard containers and algorithms * standard strings, I/O streams, and numerics * C compatibility, internationalization, and exception safety Bjarne Stroustrup makes C++ even more accessible to those new to the language, while adding advanced information and techniques that even expert C++ programmers will find invaluable.

Book Overview:

One book has always set the standard for C++ programmers: The C++ Programming Language, by Bjarne Stroustrup, the Bell Laboratories developer who created C++. Now, Stroustrup has updated this classic with clarifications based on reader feedback and new information in two brand-new appendices on ISO/ANSI C++: internationalization and exception safety. This makes The C++ Programming Language: Special Edition the only book with authoritative coverage of every important element of C++. This book brings the authoritative perspective of the creator of C++ to everything from the core language through basic development techniques, the Standard Library, and effective program design. This new edition's updated coverage of Standard C++ locales enables developers to build code that can easily be customized for any market worldwide. Its coverage of exception safety allows programmers to take advantage of the standard library's support for more reliable code.
