Programming with the C++ Standard Library can certainly be difficult task. Nicolai Josuttis’s The C++ Standard Library is one of the best available books to using the built-in features of C++ effectively. The C++ Standard Library provides lots of built-in functionality in the form of the Standard Template Library (STL). The STL was created as the first...

Common Text Transformation Library, CTTL for short, is a set of C++ classes and functions to understand and modify text data. The library implementation is based on STL classes and algorithms. The library provides components for creating lexical analyzers making practical use of EBNF grammars. Template meta-programming and operator overloading offer features...

The STL (Standard Template Library) was originally a third-party library from HP and later SGI, before its incorporation into the C++ standard. The standard does not refer to it as “STL”, as it is merely a part of the standard library, but many people still use that term to distinguish it from the rest of the library (input/output streams [known as...

Container classes are the solution to a specific kind of code reuse problem. They are building blocks used to create object-oriented programs?they make the internals of a program much easier to construct. A container class describes an object that holds other objects. Container classes are so important that they were considered fundamental to early object-oriented...
