So your appetite for information on C++ remains unsated. Fear not, there's more — much more. In the sections that follow, I put forth my recommendations for further reading on C++. It goes without saying that such recommendations are both subjective and selective, but in view of the litigious age in which we live, it's probably a good idea to say it <NOBR>anyway.<SCRIPT>create_link(2);</SCRIPT>

There are hundreds — possibly thousands — of books on C++, and new contenders join the fray with great frequency. I haven't seen all these books, much less read them, but my experience has been that while some books are very good, some of them, well, some of them <NOBR>aren't.<SCRIPT>create_link(4);</SCRIPT>

What follows is the list of books I find myself consulting when I have questions about software development in C++. Other good books are available, I'm sure, but these are the ones I use, the ones I can truly <I>recommend</I>.<SCRIPT>create_link(5);</SCRIPT>

These books contain not just a description of what's in the language, they also explain the rationale behind the design decisions — something you won't find in the official standard documents. <I>The</I> <I>Anno<A NAME="p286"></A>tated C++ Reference Manual</I> is now incomplete (several language features have been added since it was published — see <A HREF="./MC6_FR.HTM#5473" TARGET="_top">Item 35</A>) and is in some cases out of date, but it is still the best reference for the core parts of the language, including templates and exceptions. <I>The Design and Evolution of C++</I> covers most of what's missing in <I>The Annotated C++ Reference Manual</I>; the only thing it lacks is a discussion of the Standard Template Library (again, see <A HREF="./MC6_FR.HTM#5473" TARGET="_top">Item 35</A>). These books are not tutorials, they're references, but you can't truly understand C++ unless you understand the material in these <NOBR>books.<SCRIPT>create_link(9);</SCRIPT>

For a more general reference on the language, the standard library, and how to apply it, there is no better place to look than the book by the man responsible for C++ in the first <NOBR>place:<SCRIPT>create_link(10);</SCRIPT>

Stroustrup has been intimately involved in the language's design, implementation, application, and standardization since its inception, and he probably knows more about it than anybody else does. His descriptions of language features make for dense reading, but that's primarily because they contain so much information. The chapters on the standard C++ library provide a good introduction to this crucial aspect of modern <NOBR>C++.<SCRIPT>create_link(12);</SCRIPT>

Murray's book is especially strong on the fundamentals of template design, a topic to which he devotes two chapters. He also includes a chapter on the important topic of migrating from C development to C++ development. Much of my discussion on reference counting (see <A HREF="./MC5_FR.HTM#6073" TARGET="_top">Item 29</A>) is based on the ideas in <I>C++ Strategies and Tactics.</I><SCRIPT>create_link(18);</SCRIPT>

Each chapter in this book starts with some C++ software that has been published as an example of how to do something correctly. Cargill then proceeds to dissect — nay, <I>vivisect</I> — each program, identifying likely trouble spots, poor design choices, brittle implementation decisions, and things that are just plain wrong. He then iteratively rewrites each example to eliminate the weaknesses, and by the time he's done, he's produced code that is more robust, more maintainable, more efficient, and more portable, and it still fulfills the original problem specification. Anybody programming in C++ would do well to heed the lessons of this book, but it is especially important for those involved in code <NOBR>inspections.<SCRIPT>create_link(21);</SCRIPT>

One topic Cargill does not discuss in <I>C++ Programming Style</I> is exceptions. He turns his critical eye to this language feature in the following article, however, which demonstrates why writing exception-safe code is more difficult than most programmers <NOBR>realize:<SCRIPT>create_link(22);</SCRIPT>
