Brian's C++ links

I created this page to organize what the information I have related to C++. Now I've finally reorganized it, as there's a lot of stuff here now.

Web Resources - Reading

This section has various links to other web sites that have information or links relevant to C++.

Bjarne Stroustrup's page on C++ (he's the language designer, btw)
"The C++ Programming Language (Third Edition)". At the moment, this is the best resource I know if for learning ISO C++. I have a copy; see my books page if you want to borrow it.
SGI's STL page, the current best place for documentation on the STL (standard template library). Note that we now have a local mirror via the CoC's public page.
Dinkum's documentation on all of the standard C++ library.
Guru of the week: a site with very in-depth question-and-answer exercises about C++.
The ACCU (Association of C/C++ Users) has many book reviews which may help you find books to learn C++ by.
C/C++ User's Journal, a magazine
- C++ Experts Forum (CUJ)
A couple of Alexandrescu's articles from (the now defunct) C++ Report: #1 #2
A site about standard stuff
The official site about the standard
C++ FAQ
The 2000 C++ Template Workshop - I had a paper there :)
The 2001 C++ Template Workshop - I had a paper there :)
James Kanze's code base - some useful libraries
Not C++: An article about memory leaks in Java. The memory problem is very interesting to me, but the article also somewhat contrasts the Java and C++ approaches.

Web Resources - Software

This section has various links to other web sites that have C++ compilers, libraries, or software tools you can download.

The g++ compiler

Boost, a site with libraries.

STLport - a portable implementation of the C++ standard library with some nice debug features.

FC++ - the FC++ library for doing functional programming in C++. Very cool. :)

A regular expression library for C++

Test Comeau C++ - test the latest version of Comeau's compiler right from the web. (Comeau is very standards-conformant, and thus this is a practical way to see if something is probably "legal C++".)

Local Resources

And here are some local/personal links.

My info on gdb (the debugger)
The git.cc.talk.c++ newsgroup
A short tutorial on C++ that I wrote for CS 3411 last year

Source code

Here's snippets of source you might find useful.

Code to compute square roots at compile-time. As I understand it, the C++ _compiler_ is in some sense Turing-complete, and you can do arbitrary computation on integers at compile-time.

Writing about C++

Here are some things I've written about C++ (mostly posts to git.cc.talk.c++).

A short C++ tutorial I wrote for 3411 a couple of years ago.
Cool stuff about functional programming and lazy evaluation
Stuff about functors
More functors
A problem statement about haiku text, a solution, and a discussion.
The palindrome problem: part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5, part 6, part 7
