The C++ Programming Language (Special Edition)

One book has always set the standard for C++ programmers: The C++ Programming Language, by Bjarne Stroustrup, the Bell Laboratories developer who created C++. Now, Stroustrup has updated this classic with clarifications based on reader feedback and new information in two brand-new appendices on ISO/ANSI C++: internationalization and exception safety. This makes The C++ Programming Language: Special Edition the only book with authoritative coverage of every important element of C++.

KEY TOPICS: This book brings the authoritative perspective of the creator of C++ to everything from the core language through basic development techniques, the Standard Library, and effective program design. This new editions updated coverage of Standard C++ locales enables developers to build code that can easily be customized for any market worldwide. Its coverage of exception safety allows programmers to take advantage of the standard librarys support for more reliable code.
