Yes, except that it is significantly updated to match the final C++
Standard, and we're providing it as a printed book with an HTML
diskette.

Not to undermine the valiant work that P.J. is putting into his book.
(i'll be looking for it also)

I use The Mitchell Waites "Signature Series" book
Called C++ Primer Plus by Stephen Strata.

It's the ANSI / ISO C++ standard only, but, discusses the quirks of
each compiler and how it uses the ISO standard of C++.

I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for, but I DO hope it
helps you.

There are a number of STL books out there.  My book, _Generic
Programming and the STL_, should be available quite soon.  It might be
(part of) what you're looking for.

As you can probably guess from the title, my book discusses the STL
only, not I/O.

He isn't working on a new version, but he does make minor
corrections between printings.  He posts the details on

Yes, and even if he produced a fourth edition it would soon be
``obsoleted'' by a (normative) Technical Corrigendum, or a (non
normative) Technical Report issued by the committee. C++ is
a journey, not a destination.

I've just completed a library *reference* that matches the final
C++ Standard, but I have no current plans for updating that
particular book. And I'm still struggling to complete a (very
late) STL book, with Stepanov, Lee, and Musser.

Is the reference to which you refer is the one on the
Dinkumware site?

Good luck in the STL book struggle.  I eagerly anticipate
your victory.

I just wandered down to the bookstore and looked around,
hoping that I could finaly start puting together my library
on Standard C++.

Not yet.

Is Bjarne Stroustrup working on a new version of
"The C++ Programming language?" I've got the
3rd edition, and it's a great book, but aren't there
changes?

Is P. J. Plauger working on "The Standard C++ library?"
I've got the "draft" version, which was remarkably
useful for quite a while, but is now a bit dated.

Are David R. Musser and Atul Saini updating their
"STL Tutorial and Reference Guide?" Another book
that's still very useful to me, but which I suspect must
be a little dated.

I'd love to get my hands on a book (or books) that focus
on extending the STL (creating my own allocators,
iterators, etc) and the iostreams (implementing my
own streambufs).

I'd also like to see a design patterns book which focuses
a bit more tightly on Standard C++ implementations, and
an OOM&D similarly focused on Standard C++
implementations.

Who's working on what? When will they be finished?
