The new C++11 standard allows programmers to express ideas more clearly,
simply, and directly, and to write faster, more efficient code. Bjarne
Stroustrup, the designer and original implementer of C++, has
reorganized, extended, and completely rewritten his definitive reference
and tutorial for programmers who want to use C++ most effectively.
The C++ Programming Language, Fourth Edition, delivers
meticulous, richly explained, and integrated coverage of the entire
language--its facilities, abstraction mechanisms, standard libraries,
and key design techniques. Throughout, Stroustrup presents concise,
"pure C++11" examples, which have been carefully crafted to clarify both
usage and program design. To promote deeper understanding, the author
provides extensive cross-references, both within the book and to the ISO
standard.
New C++11 coverage includes
- Support for concurrency
- Regular expressions, resource management pointers, random numbers, and
improved containers
- General and uniform initialization, simplified for-statements, move
semantics, and Unicode support
- Lambdas, general constant expressions, control over class defaults,
variadic templates, template aliases, and user-defined literals
- Compatibility issues
Topics addressed in this comprehensive book include
- Basic facilities: type, object, scope, storage, computation
fundamentals, and more
- Modularity, as supported by namespaces, source files, and exception
handling
- C++ abstraction, including classes, class hierarchies, and templates
in support of a synthesis of traditional programming, object-oriented
programming, and generic programming
- Standard Library: containers, algorithms, iterators, utilities,
strings, stream I/O, locales, numerics, and more
- The C++ basic memory model, in depth
This fourth edition makes C++11 thoroughly accessible to programmers
moving from C++98 or other languages, while introducing insights and
techniques that even cutting-edge C++11 programmers will find
indispensable.
This is a hardcover version of the Fourth Edition. Content in this
hardcover and the paperback version is identical.
This book features an enhanced, layflat binding, which allows the book
to stay open more easily when placed on a flat surface. This special
binding method--noticeable by a small space inside the spine--also
increases durability.
