<b>The Best-Selling C++ Resource</b> <p style="margin:0px;"><b>Now Updated for C++11</b></p> <p style="margin:0px;"> </p> <p style="margin:0px;">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.</p> <p style="margin:0px;"> </p> <p style="margin:0px;"><b><i>The C++ Standard Library: A Tutorial and Reference, Second Edition,</i></b> describes this library as now incorporated into the new 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.</p> <p style="margin:0px;"> </p> <p style="margin:0px;">The book covers all the new C++11 library components, including</p> <p style="margin:0px;"> </p> <ul><li>Concurrency</li><li>Fractional arithmetic</li><li>Clocks and timers</li><li>Tuples</li><li>New STL containers</li><li>New STL algorithms</li><li>New smart pointers</li><li>New locale facets</li><li>Random numbers and distributions</li><li>Type traits and utilities</li><li>Regular expressions</li></ul> <p style="margin:0px;"> </p> <p style="margin:0px;">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.</p> <p style="margin:0px;"> </p> <p style="margin:0px;">An accompanying Web site, including source code, can be found at .</p> <p style="margin:0px;"> </p>
