The C++ programming language

Bjarne Stroustrup9780201889543, 0201889544

Written by the inventor of the language, the book is the defining, classic text on the language that has become central to software development over the past five years. This third edition incorporates additions and changes on a major scale. In particular, the new edition is based on the ANSI/ISO C++ final draft with its many new language features – templates, exceptions, namespaces, and run-time type identification, to name a few – in addition to the C++ Standard Template Library that has revolutionized C++ development.
