The C++ Standard Library provides a set of common classes and interfaces that greatly extend the core C++ language. Josuttis' book not only provides comprehensive documentation of each library component, it also offers clearly written explanations of complex concepts, describes the practical programming details needed for effective use, and gives example after example of working code. This thoroughly up-to-date book reflects the newest elements of the C++ standard library incorporated into the full ANSI/ISO C++ language standard. In particular, the text focuses on the Standard Template Library (STL), examining containers, iterators, function objects, and STL algorithms.

For sophomore/junior level courses in Advanced C++ Programming offered in Computer Science departments. This text fills the need for a practical C++ topics book beyond the introductory level. No other text covers the topics needed to prepare students for production C++ programming. It streamlines the process of learning the C++ language, presenting material a simple step at a time, which allows the reader to digest each concept before moving on, and provides them with a solid foundation in C++.

本书脱胎于作者在C语言的摇篮——贝尔实验室教授C语言的讲稿，几乎涵盖了C语言各个方面的难点，并包含了一些其他书籍很少分析到的问题。在每个谜题后面都有详尽的解题分析，使读者能够清晰地把握C语言的构造与含义，学会处理许多常见的限制和陷阱，是一本绝佳的C语言练习册。 本书结构清晰，循序渐进，适合于C语言的初学者，可用作高校计算机相关专业的辅助教材，同时也可供具有一定C语言编程经验的读者复习提高之用。

一些经过验证的用来改善程序效率的方法，包括检验C++语言特性所带来的时间和空间上的成本。 　　全面地描述了C++专家所使用的高级技术，包括placement new、virtual constructors、smart pointers、reference counting、proxy classes和double-dispatching等。 　　以实例说明异常处理带给C++类和函数的冲击。 　　介绍新的语言特性，包括bool、mutable、explicit、namespaces、成员模板、标准模板库等。如果你的编译器不支持这些特性，本书还介绍了如何不利用它们完成工作。
