Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 April 2004
I bought this as a reference of last resort but was plesantly surprised bythe clear organisation and presentation of the material and how accessiblethe writing is. The hardback binding is useful as it tolerates a lot ofabuse while you flick back and forth. An excellent resource for anyone whoneeds in depth coverage of C++.

As an OS kernel and networking programmer recently cast into the world of C++ applications design, I need a definitive work that tells me exactly what the C++ mechanisms do and what behavior I can rely on from the standards, and that's just what this provides. Although each platform and compiler differ, and there are always bugs and warts to work around, it's crucial to understand what the boundaries are and what behaviors you can (and can't) rely on to write robust applications.

If you need to know how placement-new works and the requirements for constructors and destructors and try/catch blocks, then this is the book you want. If you need to know common idioms and higher-level structures, you'll need a different reference.

For what I intended to do (debug some squirrelly problems and obscure valgrind warnings), it was precisely the book I needed. It's a little pricey, but that's (unfortunately) what many of these international standards, other than those from the IETF, are like.
