The C++ Programming Language : Special Edition (Rev. ed)

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 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, such as: 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; and, 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.
