The C++ Programming Language
4th edition

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 fundarnentals, 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/0, 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.
