Hey all-

I've been looking for a book on Iostreams, and Fatbrain has listed a title
called Standard C++ IOStreams and Locales by Langer Angelika and Kreft
Klaus, which I would like to get, except that it isn't published yet, though
the date of publication says 12/99.

I went to Addison-Wesley's website to search for the title, and found no
mention of it anywhere. I did see C++ Iostreams by Steve Teale (there's a
picture of what looks like a salmon on the cover) available in the stores,
but it's from 1993 and doesn't seem to cover much about binary streams.
Sill, I'm willing to give that book a try.

So, does anyone know what the status of Standard C++.... is? Is it still
going to be published?


Thanks for any information,

Thelonious

I haven't ordered it yet, so can't verify, but Barnes and Noble told me
it was available for order (www.barnesandnoble.com).

Teale's book was excellent for its time.  However, the iostream classes
have changed so much since then as to make the book useless for
anything but general useage information.  Locales didn't exist, the
classes were not templatized.  Several methods were added and removed.
Entire class types were added (std::basic_stringstream).

Standard C++ published?  Huh?

The ISO committee ratified the C++ Standard some time ago.

Sorry about that, I should not abbreviated "Standard C++" when I really
meant to say "Standard C++ IOStreams and Locales" ... I was referring to the
book, not the standard. Sorry, abbreviated at the wrong place and time. :)
