C++ Programming Language, The

Offers information on using the C++ programming languge using the new C++11 standard, covering such topics as concurrency, facilities, standard libraries, and design techniques.

Autorentext

Bjarne Stroustrup is the designer and original implementer of C++ and the author of Programming: Principles and Practice Using C++, 2nd Edition and The C++ Programming Language, among others. Having previously worked at Bell Labs, AT&T Labs - Research, and Texas A&M University, he is currently Managing Director in the technology division of Morgan Stanley in New York City. The recipient of numerous honors, including The National Academy of Engineering 2018 Charles Stark Draper Prize for Engineering “for conceptualizing and developing the C++ programming language, Dr. Stroustrup is a member of the National Academy of Engineering, an AT&T Fellow, an AT&T Bell Laboratories Fellow, an IEEE Fellow, and an ACM Fellow. He was voted into Electronic Design's Engineering Hall of Fame in 2013. His research interests include distributed systems, simulation, design, programming techniques, software development tools, and programming languages, and he remains actively involved in the ANSI/ISO standardization of C++. Dr. Stroustrup holds an advanced degree from the University of Aarhus in his native Denmark and a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Cambridge University, England.

Klappentext

The definitive book on C++ by the creator of C++, The C++ Programming Language teaches one of the most widely-used, general-purpose programming languages. At an advanced pace this book teaches how to work with compilers updated for the new standard. Students heading toward domains where mid-size to large applications are being developed - networking, finance, graphics, and games - will find this book an excellent learning tool.

Zusammenfassung

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.

*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 book features an enhanced, layflat binding, which allows the book to stay open more easily when placed on a flat surface. This special binding method—noticeable by a small space inside the spine—also increases durability.
