The C++ Standard Library, 2nd Edition

Posted: 30 Jul 2012 09:06 AM PDT

The C++ Standard Library, 2nd Edition

Book Description

The Best-Selling ++ Resource. Now Updated for ++11

The ++ standard library provides a set of common classes and interfaces that greatly extend the core ++ language. The library, however, is not self-explanatory. To make full use of its components–and to benefit from their power–you need a resource that does far more than list the classes and their functions.

The C++ Standard Library: A Tutorial and Reference, Second Edition, describes this library as now incorporated into the new ANSI/ISO C++ language standard (C++11). The book provides comprehensive documentation of each library component, including an introduction to its purpose and design; clearly written explanations of complex concepts; the practical details needed for effective use; traps and pitfalls; the exact signature and definition of the most important classes and functions; and numerous examples of working code. The book focuses in particular on the Standard Template Library (), examining containers, iterators, function objects, and algorithms.

The book covers all the new C++11 library components, including

  • Concurrency
  • Fractional arithmetic
  • Clocks and timers
  • Tuples
  • New containers
  • New STL algorithms
  • New smart pointers
  • New locale facets
  • Random numbers and distributions
  • Type traits and utilities
  • Regular expressions

The book also examines the new C++ style and its effect on the standard library, including lambdas, range-based for  loops, move semantics, and variadic templates.

An accompanying site, including source code, can be found at www.cppstdlib.com.
