I bought a copy of the Standard from the ANSI site but rarely use it -
it's great as a definitive reference but hopeless for general reading!
Quite frankly, if you're just interesting if finding out what's in the
Standard C++ Library, buying a good book is a much better idea.  As for
which, you can't go far wrong with "The C++ Programming Language" 3rd
edition by Stroustrup.  It's very comprehensive and not too pricey.

I wasn't suggesting it for general reading.

Indeed, the standard isn't easy to read in places.  Too, it's definitely
strictly a reference and not a tutorial.  Still though, I think many folks
don't give it a proper chance.  It can be gotten used to by folks for
those sticky issues.  I'm also a firm believer that anybody using just
one source of information, yes even a standard, is probably limiting
their options.

Yes, as my post shows, I suggested this.

Yep, I recommend it on the "literature suggestions" page of my web site
(which is begging for an upgrade).

hello you can find the standard C++library write by P.J.PLAUGER
or you can find in Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library Reference
but both of them is very expensive
some time we can talk to eachother about the C++

I must be missing something.  What's wrong with Jack's suggestion
to obtain Standard C++ from the ANSI site?  Also, what's wrong with
buying some up to date C++ texts?

You can purchase and download the complete ANSI/ISO/IEC C++ language
standard in Adobe PDF format for $18.00 US at http://www.ansi.org.  It
completely defines the standard library functions and headers.

hello,

I would like to know where I could find information about the the C++
standard library. I would like to write portable C++ code and can't
figure which library (header file) are part of the standard and which
are not part (i.e. part of the compiler, part of the OS).

Could someone give me some information about that.
Furthermore is the C standard library part of the C++ standard library
and where can I find the header file that are part of the C standard
library.

Thanks,
Yves

How does one obtain a copy of the proposed standard declarations
for library classes (particularly the String class)? How does one
make his suggestions known to the committee?

The only really good way is to be or know an ANSI/ISO rep. The library stuff
is quite wordy and do change.

The chair of the libraries working group is Mike Vilot (mjv@objects.MV.COM).
