Book Description
'This book is the most accurate and up-to-date source of
information on the STL currently available. ! It has an approach and
appeal of its own: it explains techniques for building data structures
and algorithms on top of the STL, and in this way appreciates the STL
for what it is -- a framework.' - Angelika Langer, Independent
Consultant and C++ Report Columnist "A superbly authored treatment of
the STL...an excellent book which belongs in any serious C++ developer's
library." - Jim Armstrong, President 2112 F/X, Texas. The C++
Standard Template Library (STL) represents a breakthrough in C++
programming techniques. With it, software developers can achieve vast
improvements in the reliability of their software, and increase their
own productivity. Designing Components with the C++ STL has three aims:
/ to introduce the reader to the STL / to show how this powerful
resource can be exploited / to extend its use to the construction of new
components. This revised edition is fully compliant with the new
ISO/IEC C++ Standard with an associated web site containing numerous,
fully up-to-date examples for downloading.The author shows how to make
practical use of the STL through a wealth of examples and by drawing on
his extensive experience and knowledge gained working with the C++
Standardization Committee. Unique insight into the internals of the STL
takes the reader beyond simply using it, to show how the components
supplied in the STL can be used to design more complex data structures
and algorithms, and powerful abstract data types. Throughout, the author
maintains an elegant and sophisticated coding style, adhering
faithfully to the current ISO/ANSI standards, helping to ensure that
your software will be even more portable, maintainable and reusable than
ever.
