Product Description

Product Description
This book provides a complete reference for the C++ programming language. It consists of the C++ reference manual, approved as the base document for ANSI standardization of the language, plus annotations and commentary. The annotations and commentary discuss what is not included in the language, why certain features are defined as they are, and how one might implement particular features. The commentaries also help the reader to understand the relationships between parts of the language. Comparisons with C and examples explain the more subtle points of the language. Sixteen chapters cover the latest version of C++ including multiple inheritance, abstract classes, templates, exception handling, and more. A final chapter describes resolutions by the ANSI/ISO committee including new features such as run-time type information and namespaces. Appendices summarize the grammar and evolution of the language, and explain in detail the differences between C and C++. The Annotated C++ Reference Manual will appeal to language implementors and expert C++ programmers. 0201514591B04062001

5.0 out of 5 stars The best C++ language reference, 13 Jul 1998
By A Customer
This book is suitable for intermediate to advanced C++ programmers and provides clear guidance on the rules that make up the language. It's not always an easy read, but then the language it describes is not an easy language. There is no other book I know of that describes the language itself as accurately and in as much depth as this. But if you want information about the standard C++ library (the STL, for example) you will be disappointed - this is not what this book is about. In that case try Stroustrup's 'The C++ Language' (3rd edition), which also happens to be a year or so more up to date than this book - important given that that year saw the language standardized at last. That said, for my money Stroustrup's solo affair still isn't as good on the core language as this book. If you are a professional C++ programmer, you need this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent reference, but not a tutorial, 4 Feb 2000
By A Customer
This book was recomended to me as THE book to get on C++, it is a fantastic reference but if you are still learning the language then look elsewhere. If you have become proficient at C++ this book will prove invaluable.

5.0 out of 5 stars The ARM is THE C++ book, 5 May 2002
By A Customer
This is the definitive book on C++. Twelve years later, it is still a great book, even if it covers some topic in a beta stage, like templates, that were just "beta" at the time, just like exceptions.

I think it became history, but still a book for any programmers, and for any C++ programmers a must.

Simply put, it is a jewel. I got mine in '93, and still enjoy reading parts from time to time. It is almost like a romance, for any c++ "lover"

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a good book, which one would not regret buying.
The Annotated c++ Reference Manual is attractive, fluent, and informative.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent C++ reference. Highly recommended.
This is _the_ reference for the C++ language. Even though the C++ standard is presently something of a moving target, this is a good working reference manual for the basics... Read more
