The C++ Standard Library 2 Edition  (English, Paperback, Josuttis Nicolai M.)

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 programming 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 (STL), examining containers, iterators, function objects, and STL algorithms.

Salient Features

• Thoroughly documents each library component incorporated in the brand-new C++ standard
• Clearly explains complex concepts, and presents the practical detailed programmers need to use the Standard Library effectively
• Contains many examples of working code, all available for download at an accompanying website
