Synopsis

The Standard Template Library (STL) is a collection of C++ objects that can be plugged into existing programs or used to automate software development. Because the STL objects are standardised, ready-to-use, and pre-debugged, they are a reliable way to boost productivity with technologies like CORBA and COM. However, because the STL has only recently become a part of the C++ standard - and because many of the functions of the STL are quite sophisticated ones - many programmers know little about how useful the library really is. To keep pace with the technology as it advances, they need an overview of its capabilities and a complete catalogue of its components. This text focuses on the techniques for utilising the STL to simplify the jobs they already do every day, not the need for acquiring new language skills. The authors do offer a complete classification and explanation of the STL, but at the same time, they emphasise what is actually useful, not simply what it contains, expanding into a tutorial on how to use the STL to exploit the object-oriented capabilities of C++ and Java, extending the utility of both languages. Additionally, the accompanying CD-ROM offers an HTML reference to the entire STL as well as examples that run on any compiler.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Finally, in one book we have a complete and detailed explanation of the Standard C++ Class library. There have been books that discuss some features of the iostreams. There have been a few books that discuss various components of the Standard Template Library. But this book brings together in one place a complete tutorial and reference on the latest ANSI/ISO standard for C++ class library. This book is an easy to understand introduction to the object oriented components that are now part of the C++ language. This book takes a component approach towards explaining the standard C++ objects and how to use them. In this book you will find simple but complete coverage of

∗ Object oriented Input and Output Using the Iostream classes
∗ String class
∗ Container classes and STL Algorithm Building Blocks
∗ Exception Classes and Error Handling Objects
∗ Language Support & Internationalization Classes
∗ Iterator Classes
∗ Numerics and Math Classes
∗ Object Oriented Memory Management Components
∗ Interfacing C++ objects with Java Objects

Mastering The Essential C++ Classes shows the programmer how to use these built in components to speed up and simplify software development efforts of all sizes. The authors demonstrate how these components can be easily added together to build whatever kind of software object that is needed. The authors describe each component from the logical view, architectural view, and protocol view. This invaluable tutorial and reference shows how the standard C++ components fit together and how they can be combined with objects from other languages such as Java. Every example in this book is presented using the ANSI/ISO standards for the C++ classes and can be used in the Unix, Linux, MVS,VM, VMS, OS/2, Windows and Macintosh environments. The complete source code contained in this book can be found on the enclosed CD–ROM. The CD–ROM also contains a complete reference to the standard C++ classes.

Cameron Hughes is a software engineer at Ctest Laboratories, and a staff programmer/analyst at Youngstown State University. He spends most of his time developing large scale C++ class libraries, inference engines and information analysis tools.

Tracey Hughes is a senior programmer at Ctest laboratories specializing in pattern–recognition class libraries, discrete event simulation and image processing software.

Tracey and Cameron are also the authors of Object–Oriented Multithreading Using C++, Collection and Container Classes in C++ and Object–Oriented I/O Using C++ Iostreams published by Wiley.

Quatrième de couverture

Learn how to use the standard libraries of the C++ language to speed and simplify any software development project.

Mastering the Standard C++ Classes.

This complete tutorial and reference uses an easy–to–understand component approach to explain the standard C++ objects and how to use them. It shows you how the standard components can easily fit together to build custom objects, and teaches you how to combine C++ objects with other objects, like Java. The numerous code examples are presented using the ANSI/ISO standards for the C++ classes, and can be used in the Unix, Linux, MVS, VM OS/2, Windows, and Mac environments. Mastering the Standard C++ Classes gets you up and running with what you need to know about:
∗ Object–oriented Input and Output using the Iostream classes.
∗ String classes.
∗ Container classes and Algorithm Building Blocks.
∗ Exception classes and Error Handling objects.
∗ Language support and Internationalization classes.
∗ Numerics and Math classes.
∗ Object–oriented memory management components.
∗ Interfacing C++ objects with Java objects.

On the enclosed CD–ROM you′ll find:
∗ A complete reference to the standard C++ classes.
∗ All the software examples from the book.

The Hugheses are the authors of Object–Oriented Multithreading Using C++, Collection and Container Classes in C++, and Object–Oriented I/O Using C++ Iostreams, all published by Wiley.
