TITLE: books on the standard library (Newsgroups: comp.std.c++, 28 Mar 2000) SINGHAL: Maneesh Singhal > Is there a public copy of the std c++ library user's documentation? CLAMAGE: Steve Clamage User documentation would fall into two categories: 1. Documentation for a particular implementation. You would get that from the vendor of the implementation. 2. Books or similar writings about using the standard library, not addressed to any particular implementation. There are several such books available now, such as: Stroustrup, "The C++ Programming Language" 3rd Edition, Addison-Wesley Josuttis, "The C++ Standard Library", Addison-Wesley Langer and Kreft, "Standard C++ IOStreams and Locales", Addison-Wesley Austern, "Generic Programming and the STL", Addison-Wesley You can find independent reviews of these and many other C++ books at http://www.accu.org/ If you want a formal description of the standard library definition, get a copy of the C++ standard. The FAQ for this newsgroup explains how to get one. Follow the reference at the bottom of every article in this newsgroup.
