C++ Standard Library, The: A Tutorial and Reference

<b>The Best-Selling C++ Resource</b> <p style="margin:0px;"> <b>Now Updated for C++11</b> </p> <p style="margin:0px;"> </p> <p style="margin:0px;">The C++ standard library provides a set of common classes and interfaces that greatly extend the core C++ 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.</p> <p style="margin:0px;"> </p> <p style="margin:0px;"> <b> <i>The C++ Standard Library: A Tutorial and Reference, Second Edition,</i> </b> 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.</p> <p style="margin:0px;"> </p> <p style="margin:0px;">The book covers all the new C++11 library components, including</p> <p style="margin:0px;"> </p> <ul> <li>Concurrency</li> <li>Fractional arithmetic</li> <li>Clocks and timers</li> <li>Tuples</li> <li>New STL containers</li> <li>New STL algorithms</li> <li>New smart pointers</li> <li>New locale facets</li> <li>Random numbers and distributions</li> <li>Type traits and utilities</li> <li>Regular expressions</li> </ul> <p style="margin:0px;"> </p> <p style="margin:0px;">The book also examines the new C++ programming style and its effect on the standard library, including lambdas, range-based for  loops, move semantics, and variadic templates.</p> <p style="margin:0px;"> </p> <p style="margin:0px;">An accompanying Web site, including source code, can be found at www.cppstdlib.com.</p> <p style="margin:0px;"> </p>
