C++ in a Nutshell by Ray Lischner

From the Publisher

C++ In a Nutshell is a comprehensive reference to the C++ language and its runtime library. Are you a C++ programmer? Then you know how important it is to correctly understand the many subtle aspects of the language. You also know that the C++ standard defines not only the language, but also a runtime library that includes containers, iterators, algorithms, strings, exceptions, I/O, and much more. The library makes up the bulk of C++'s definition. To program successfully in C++, you need to be intimately familiar with both the language and the library. Yet it's virtually impossible to memorize the many subtle aspects of the language, and it's certainly impossible to memorize all the library headers, class definitions, member functions, and so forth. That's where C++ In a Nutshell comes in.

Everything in C++ In a Nutshell conforms to the ISO/IEC 14882 standard, plus Technical Corrigendum 1. The language reference provides Backus-Naur Form syntax diagrams, brief information on usage, and to-the-point examples for all C++ statements and keywords. The second half of the book is given over to the C++ runtime library reference, and is organized by header file. For each header, the reference describes the functions, macros, classes, and other entities declared and defined in the header. Should you require a refresher on some aspect of C++, for example on declarations, template programming, or key aspects of the runtime library, you'll find the reference chapters in this book full of helpful information. Think of C++ In a Nutshell as a "force-magnifier," enabling you to program more effectively by providing you with ready access to definitions and usage for the standard library (including headers, macros, functions, classes, and templates), and for C++ language elements.
