The inventor of C++ presents the definitive insider's guide to the design
and development of the C++ programming language. Without ommitting critical
details or getting bogged down in technicalities, Stroustrup presents his
unique insights into the decisions that shaped C++. Every C++ programmer
will benefit from Stroustrup's explanations of the 'why's' behind C++ from
the earliest features, such as the original class concept, to the latest
extensions, such as new casts and explicit template instantiation.
Some C++ design decisions have been universally praised, while others
remain controversial, and debated vigorously; still other features have
been rejected based on experimentation. In this book, Stroustrup dissects
many of these decisions to present a case study in "real object- oriented
language development" for the working programmer. In doing so, he presents
his views on programming and design in a concrete and useful way that makes
this book a must-buy for every C++ programmer.
