You have to be truly geeky to get it, but do you know what the inside joke is with the proposed C++ 0x standard? Simply that it has been labeled

nother C++0x feature is going to simplify the way you write C++ code. Instead of tediously writing the type of a variable when you declare it, a C++0x compiler will

ntil not long ago, multithreaded apps relied on nonstandard, platform-dependent APIs. C++0x is now in the process of adding a standard threading API, including auxiliary facilities such as thread-local storage.

ingletons, stream objects, and other classes must disable copying and assignment. However, C++ doesn’t yet provide a direct mechanism for disabling copying. Another related problem exists with undesirable conversions of

ost Standard Library algorithms operate on sequences whose boundaries are designated by a pair of iterators: one iterator marks the beginning of the sequence and another marks its end. Combining

++03 has a very limited set of tools for enforcing constraints on templates. Consequently, templates code becomes messy, unintelligible, and buggy. With the addition of concepts to C++09, this unsavory

omplex numbers are widely-used in electrical engineering, simulations, and scientific applications. And yet, many software engineers who have to use complex arithmetic insist on reinventing the wheel when there’s no

tandard C++ offers a rather limited number of functions for accurate time measurement: clock() gives you a granularity of up to a thousandth of a second at best, and difftime()
