Do you like reinventing the wheel? If so, you can put this book back on the shelf and pretend you never saw it. But if you're a C++ programmer who likes to get work done, and prefers to spend time solving fresh, new problems, then hold on to this book and make a beeline for the checkout counter, because the C++ Cookbook is a treasure trove of solutions to everyday C++ programming problems.
C++ experts D. Ryan Stephens, Christopher Diggins, Jonathan Turkanis, and Jeff Cogswell have collected a wide variety of C++ solutions for your benefit. Topics covered in this book include:
Working with numbers
Dates and times
Stream-based input/output
Exception handling
Working with classes and objects
Building applications with make
Parsing XML
String and text manipulation
Multithreading
Standard library algorithms and containers
Mathematical programming
Internationalization
The Boost build system
Throughout this book, the authors give real solutions that reflect current best practices in C++ programming. They focus on performance and portability, with a strong emphasis on formal and ad hoc standards. Many solutions take advantage of the C++ standard library. The authors also cover the Boost libraries, which represent some of the very best thinking in the world of C++.
Sometimes it's fun to reinvent the wheel, but you'll be far more productive if you spend time solving the business problems you're being paid to solve. The standard library can help you do that. The Boost libraries can help you do that. The C++ Cookbook can help you do that. Use the solutions in this book for mundane problems so you can spend your time on more interesting work.
