The C++ Programming Language

<p>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.</p> <p> </p> <p><b><i><b>The C++ Programming Language, Fourth Edition,</b></i></b> 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.</p> <p> </p> <p>New C++11 coverage includes</p> <ul> <li> Support for concurrency </li> <li> Regular expressions, resource management pointers, random numbers, and improved containers </li> <li> General and uniform initialization, simplified for-statements, move semantics, and Unicode support </li> <li> Lambdas, general constant expressions, control over class defaults, variadic templates, template aliases, and user-defined literals </li> <li> Compatibility issues  </li> </ul> <p>Topics addressed in this comprehensive book include</p> <ul> <li> Basic facilities: type, object, scope, storage, computation fundamentals, and more </li> <li> Modularity, as supported by namespaces, source files, and exception handling </li> <li> C++ abstraction, including classes, class hierarchies, and templates in support of a synthesis of traditional programming, object-oriented programming, and generic programming </li> <li> Standard Library: containers, algorithms, iterators, utilities, strings, stream I/O, locales, numerics, and more </li> <li> The C++ basic memory model, in depth  </li> </ul> <p>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.</p> <p> </p> <p><i>This is a hardcover version of the Fourth Edition.
