Question

Where is the c++11 standard

I am looking to buy/download a few things. First I want both a digital copy and paper copy of the official c++11 reference.

Also I would like a book that is a summation of the reference that focuses on things like commonly used c/c++ functions and the STL, something more accessible than the official reference itself. Also would be great for both paper and digital versions. I don't need a beginners book, just a reference. This one is probably going to be opinionated so feel free to say which one you like.

Answer 1

Nicolai Josuttis updated his book The C++ Standard Library for C++11 in April 2012. Specifically, it covers the following aspects:

• Concurrency
• Fractional arithmetic
• Clocks and Timers
• Random numbers and distributions
• New smart pointers
• Regular expressions
• New STL containers, such as arrays, forward lists, and unordered containers
• New STL algorithms
• Tuples
• Type traits and type utilities

It also covers the following new C++11 language elements:

• Lambdas
• Range-based for loops
• Move semantics
• Variadic templates.

Josuttis also gave an interview about his new book.

Answer 2

There are plenty of great books on the STL, there is a giant list available on Amazon. Some of the most popular ones for STL are

• Effective STL: 50 Specific Ways to Improve Your Use of the Standard Template Library
• The C++ Standard Library: A Tutorial and Reference .

For C++ 11, there are plenty of locations for references, such as

• The Biggest Changes in C++11 (and Why You Should Care)
• C++ 11
• C++ reference (This has more than C++11, but the C++11 ones are tagged as such and easy to notice.

N3242 from the February 2011 papers is the closest you can get to a freely-available copy of the "official" C++11 standard ...
