"The second edition is clearer and adds more examples on how to use STL in a practical environment. Moreover, it is more concerned with performance and tools for its measurement. Both changes are very welcome." --Lawrence Rauchwerger, Texas A&M University"So many algorithms, so little time! The generic algorithms chapter with so many more examples than in the previous edition is delightful! The examples work cumulatively to give a sense of comfortable competence with the algorithms, containers, and iterators used." --Max A. Lebow, Software Engineer, Unisys Corporation The STL Tutorial and Reference Guide is highly acclaimed as the most accessible, comprehensive, and practical introduction to the Standard Template Library (STL). Encompassing a set of C++ generic data structures and algorithms, STL provides reusable, interchangeable components adaptable to many different uses without sacrificing efficiency. Written by authors who have been instrumental in the creation and practical application of STL, STL Tutorial and Reference Guide, Second Edition includes a tutorial, a thorough description of each element of the library, numerous sample applications, and a comprehensive reference. You will find in-depth explanations of iterators, generic algorithms, containers, function objects, and much more. Several larger, non-trivial applications demonstrate how to put STL's power and flexibility to work. This book will also show you how to integrate STL with object-oriented programming techniques. In addition, the comprehensive and detailed STL reference guide will be a constant and convenient companion as you learn to work with the library. This second edition is fully updated to reflect all of the changes made to STL for the final ANSI/ISO C++ language standard. It has been expanded with new chapters and appendices. Many new code examples throughout the book illustrate individual concepts and techniques, while larger sample programs demonstrate the use of the STL in real-world C++ software development.

《C++标准库（第2版）》是全球C++经典权威参考书籍时隔12年，基于C++11标准的全新重大升级。标准库提供了一组公共类和接口，极大地拓展了C++语言核心功能。《C++标准库（第2版）》详细讲解了每一标准库组件，包括其设计目的和方法、复杂概念的剖析、实用而高效的编程细节、存在的陷阱、重要的类和函数，又辅以大量用C++11标准实现的实用代码范例。除覆盖全新组件、特性外，《C++标准库（第2版）》一如前版，重点着眼于标准模板库（STL），涉及容器、迭代器、函数对象以及STL算法。此外，《C++标准库（第2版）》同样关注lambda表达式、基于区间的for循环、move语义及可变参数模板等标准库中的新式C++编程风格及其影响。

The C++ Standard Library provides a set of common classes and interfaces that greatly extend the core C++ language. Josuttis' book not only provides comprehensive documentation of each library component, it also offers clearly written explanations of complex concepts, describes the practical programming details needed for effective use, and gives example after example of working code. This thoroughly up-to-date book reflects the newest elements of the C++ standard library incorporated into the full ANSI/ISO C++ language standard. In particular, the text focuses on the Standard Template Library (STL), examining containers, iterators, function objects, and STL algorithms.

这本包含最新资料的完整书籍，反映出被ANSI/ISO C++语言标准规格书纳入的C++标准程序库的最新组成。更明确地说，这本书将焦点放在标准模板库身上，检验其中的容器、迭代器、仿函数和算法。读者还可以找到特殊容、字串、数值类别、国际化议题、IOStream。每一个元素都有深刻的呈现，包括其介绍、设计、运用实例、细部解说、陷阱、意想不到的危险，以及相关类别和函数的精确樯记式和定义式。
