The C Standard Library: A Tutorial and Reference
by Nicolai M. Josuttis
On This Page
Description
The Best-Selling C++ Resource Now Updated for C++11 The C++ standard library provides a set of common classes and interfaces that greatly extend the core C++ language. The library, however, is not self-explanatory. To make full use of its components–and to benefit from their power–you need a resource that does far more than list the classes and their functions. The C++ Standard Library: A Tutorial and Reference, Second Edition, describes this library as now incorporated into the new show more ANSI/ISO C++ language standard (C++11). The book provides comprehensive documentation of each library component, including an introduction to its purpose and design; clearly written explanations of complex concepts; the practical programming details needed for effective use; traps and pitfalls; the exact signature and definition of the most important classes and functions; and numerous examples of working code. The book focuses in particular on the Standard Template Library (STL), examining containers, iterators, function objects, and STL algorithms. The book covers all the new C++11 library components, including Concurrency Fractional arithmetic Clocks and timers Tuples New STL containers New STL algorithms New smart pointers New locale facets Random numbers and distributions Type traits and utilities Regular expressions The book also examines the new C++ programming style and its effect on the standard library, including lambdas, range-based for loops, move semantics, and variadic templates. An accompanying Web site, including source code, can be found at www.cppstdlib.com. show lessTags

This is the best book I have read on the C++ language. Reading about details of computer libraries can be a dry proposition, but the author makes it interesting by adding short, useful examples and insightful color commentary about the usefullness of a class and what to watch out for.
Comprehensive description of the standard library. The author mainly gives best-practice usage examples.
The book is clear and well-written. However, it occurs to me that the author did not put as much effort into the second edition as he did into the first edition. Especially the chapters about concurrency I found superficial.

Not to be read from cover to cover.
