Features: This book is written by Bjarne Stroustrup, the designer of C++, and it is one of the most trusted and widely read classic books on C++ in the world. Over the past five years, C++ has become an important tool in software development, and this book is the classic definitional document for it. The third edition of this book incorporates new content and changes into the main body of the previous edition. Especially, in addition to the C++ Standard Template Library (STL) which has brought major reforms to C++ development, the new version, based on the ANSI/ISO C++ draft, introduces many new language features such as templates, exceptions, namespaces, and runtime type identification. Throughout the book, it is not just about introducing the various elements of the C++ language; its focus is on explaining how to use this language as a tool for design, programming, and teaching fundamental concepts to programmers who need to master C++. This special edition adds two new appendices, one on special safety of locations and the standard library (also available at http://www.research.att.com/~bs/). This makes the book a complete coverage of the C++ language, its standard library, and key design methodologies, with absolute authority. The C++ Programming Language is based on the ANSI/ISO C++ standard and provides a comprehensive description of all features of the C++ language and its standard library components, and it is also newly revised. Although Bjarne Stroustrup adds some advanced information and methods to C++, even experienced C++ programmers will find them very valuable, Bjarne Stroustrup has made C++ easier to understand for beginners.
