Book excerpt: The proposed ANSi C++ standard contains over 600 pages of dense, technical specifications, making it an impractical reference for C++ programmers who need only to be reminded quickly of the proper technical format for major C++ constructs. A manageable 224 pages, this book serves as an inexpensive and accessible "Cliff Notes & reg;" for that lengthy standard. This book covers the important subjects of lexical elements, constants, declarations and scope rules, linkage rules, types, conversion rules, expressions and operators, functions, classes, inheritance templates, exceptions, input/output, and the string library. in addition, the book summarizes the new proposed features of ANSi C++, highlights the Standard Template Library (STL), and points out compatibility issues to watch out for.
