Features: The C++ Standard Library provides a set of general-purpose classes and interfaces that significantly extend the C++ core language. The library itself cannot speak for itself; to fully utilize its components and benefit from its powerful capabilities, you need a comprehensive resource, not just a generic file listing classes and functions. This complete book, containing new material, reflects the new composition of the C++ Standard Library incorporated into the ANSI/ISO C++ language standard specification. More specifically, this book focuses on the Standard Template Library, examining its containers, iterators, function objects, and algorithms. You will also find special containers, strings, numeric categories, internationalization issues, and IOStream. Each element is presented in depth, including its introduction, design, usage examples, detailed explanations, pitfalls, unexpected dangers, and precise didactic and definitional notes on related classes and functions.
