C++ Templates: The Complete Guide - Hardcover

Reseña del editor

For years, C++ Templates has been the "bible" of templates: no other guide has compared in comprehensiveness, depth, or accuracy. Now, three world-class C++ experts have thoroughly updated this classic reference and tutorial for the new C++1x standards and the language's many new features and capabilities. David Vandevoorde, Nicolai M. Josuttis, and Doug Gregor have revised the book's previous coverage to reflect newer ideas, while adding extensive coverage of modern template-related topics such as lambdas, inline namespaces, and user-defined literals. Throughout, they carefully retain the features that made the original C++ Templates so successful: its plethora of small, illustrative examples; its clear explanations of crucial details ignored elsewhere; and its illumination of non-template issues that turn out to be more relevant than many developers expect.

Contraportada

Templates are among the most powerful features of C++, but they are too often neglected, misunderstood, and misused. C++ Templates: The Complete Guide provides software architects and engineers with a clear understanding of why, when, and how to use templates to build and maintain cleaner, faster, and smarter software more efficiently.

C++ Templates begins with an insightful tutorial on basic concepts and language features. The remainder of the book serves as a comprehensive reference, focusing first on language details, then on a wide range of coding techniques, and finally on advanced applications for templates. Examples used throughout the book illustrate abstract concepts and demonstrate best practices.
