The C++ Programming Language

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 fundamentals, 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/O, 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.

This is a hardcover version of the Fourth Edition. Content in this hardcover and the paperback version is identical.
