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.

这本包含最新资料的完整书籍，反映出被ANSI/ISO C++语言标准规格书纳入的C++标准程序库的最新组成。更明确地说，这本书将焦点放在标准模板库身上，检验其中的容器、迭代器、仿函数和算法。读者还可以找到特殊容、字串、数值类别、国际化议题、IOStream。每一个元素都有深刻的呈现，包括其介绍、设计、运用实例、细部解说、陷阱、意想不到的危险，以及相关类别和函数的精确樯记式和定义式。
