Infos

Written by Bjarne Stroustrup, the designer of C++, this book presents the definitive insider's guide to the design and development of the C++ programming language. Without omitting critical details or getting bogged down in technicalities, Stroustrup presents his unique insights into the decisions that shaped C++. Every C++ programmer will benefit from Stroustrup's explanations of the 'whys' behind the language. The Design and Evolution of C++ is written in a well-organized, easy-to-read style which is often instructive and occasionally entertaining. Key insights offer the beginner logical "hooks" on which to hang understanding of the details of the language. This book also provides information and detailed discussions of key design decisions that will add to the expert's understanding. Features *Provides insights into the aims, principles, and real-world constraints which shaped C++ *Describes design decisions for individual language features *Shows the relationships between C++ language features and the design and programming techniques supported by C++ *Discusses the design of the latest language features: templates, exceptions, run-time type information, and namespaces In this book, Stroustrup dissects the decisions made in the development of the language to present a case study in "real object-oriented language development" for the working programmer. In doing so, he presents his views on programming and design in a concrete and useful way that makes this book a must-read for every C++ programmer.
