| A Brief Look at C++0x: Offers a sneak peek at the next version of standard C++. It briefly outlines the guiding principles of the work on C++0x, presents a few examples of likely language extensions, and lists some proposed new standard libraries. |
| Adding "extern template" (Version 2): A number of compilers allow the programmer to suppress the implicit instantiation of templates by prefixing an explicit instantiation directive with the extern keyword. This document proposes specific semantics for this feature. |
| Draft ANSI C++ Standard: October 1997 working paper of the proposed standard. |
| Embedded C++: A subset of C++ intended for embedded systems programming. It is defined by an industry consortium, the Embedded C++ Technical Committee. |
| ISO/IEC 14882-2003: Buy a PDF version of the official C++ programming language standard from the ANSI Electronic Standards Store. |
| ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22/WG21: The international standardization working group for the programming language C++. |
| Library TR1 Information: Contains links to the latest library TR1 (technical report 1) draft as well as to the most relevant standardization documents that motivate and explain TR1 functionality. |
| Living By the Rules: Understanding compiler rules better equips you to interpret messages the compiler sends you. |
| Living By the Rules: Part II: Discusses the addition of almost all of TR1 to the new C++ Standard. |
| Proposal to add Contract Programming to C++ (Revision 3): This proposal describes a small assertion sub-language that unifies compile-time and run-time assertions. The benefits are among others a higher degree of self-documenting source code, better design tools, and easier debugging and testing. |
| Proposal to Add Static Assertions to the Core Language (Revision 3): The C++ language currently supports two facilities for testing software assertions: the assert macro and the #error preprocessor directive. Neither of these facilities is appropriate for use in template libraries. |
| Right Angle Brackets (Revision 2): Explains ways to allow >> to be treated as two closing angle brackets, as well as to discuss the resulting issues. A specific option is proposed along with wording that would implement the proposal in the current working paper. |
| TechNetCast Play - C++0x: Bjarne Stroustrup's suggestions for C++0x. Text, PDF and MP3 formats. |
| The Dinkum C++ Library Reference: A complete HTML description of the ANSI/ISO Standard C++ Library, corresponding to ISO/IEC IS 14882, the final C++ standard. |
| The New C++: Introduces people and groups involved in the C++ standardization process. |
| The New C++: Smart(er) Pointers: Takes a closer look at one of the proposed facilities - smart pointers, which were discussed again at the April 2002 standards meeting. |
| The New C++: The Group of Seven: Presents a survey of the first batch of suggested library extensions that were considered at the October 2001 WG21/J16 meeting in Redmond. |
| The New C++: Trip Report: An update on the most recent C++ standards meeting, and why things are (finally) heating up. |
| The New C++: Typedef Templates: Presents an overview of the proposed typedef templates. |
| Toward a Standard C++0x Library, Part 1: This article appeared in C/C++ Users Journal, 20(1). |
