In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Yes, C++ has been standardized by a committee of standardization ISO/ANSI. the most important name is "Bjarne Stroustrup" (the c++ "creator"), that has recently published a book about the ANSI C++, very nice indeed: "The C++ Programming Language", third edition. I strongly suggest it. STL is now part of the ansi/iso standard of c++. The press release of C++ ISO standard can be found here: http://www.research.att.com/~bs/iso_release.html Here you can find either some interesting links. The ANSI drafts of the standard are not at disposal in any electronic form: they have to be requested directly to "ANSI": From a FAQ: You can get a paper copy of the standard from ANSI. Either send email to Lynn Barra (lbarra- at -itic.nw.dc.us) or send a letter to the address below, and ask for the latest version of "Draft Proposed American National Standard for Information Systems - Programming Language C++" which is document number CD14882. It is typically shipped 2-day FedEx within the continental US. If you want to order via snail mail, send a letter to X3 Secretariat / 1250 Eye Street NW / Suite 200 / Washington, DC 20005 / 202-626-5738. Finally, reporting from a FAQ: C++ has been standardized by ANSI (The American National Standards Organization), BSI (The British Standards Institute), DIN (The German National Standards Organization), several other national standards bodies, and ISO (The International Standards Organization). The ISO standard has been finalized and adopted by unanimous vote Nov 14, 1997. The ANSI-C++ committee is called "X3J16". The ISO C++ standards group is called "WG21". The major players in the ANSI/ISO C++ standards process includes just about everyone: representatives from Australia, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Sweden, the UK, and the USA, along with representatives from about a hundred companies and many interested individuals. Major players include AT&T, Ericsson, Digital, Borland, Hewlett Packard, IBM, Mentor Graphics, Microsoft, Silicon Graphics, Sun Microsystems, and Siemens. After about 8 years of work, this standard is now complete. On November 14, 1997, the standard was approved by a unanimous vote of the countries that had representatives present in Morristown. Final ratification by two dozen countries is expected by March 1998. --------------------------------------- --------------------------------- |Sigismondo Boschi |tel: +39 51 6171559 | |CINECA (Gruppo Supercalcolo) - INSTM |fax: +39 51 6132198 | |via Magnanelli, 6/3 |e-mail: s.boschi |-at-| cineca.it | |40033 Casalecchio di Reno (Bologna) | | |ITALY | | --------------------------------------- --------------------------------- On Tue, 12 Jan 1999, Fenglou Mao wrote: > Dear all, > I am wondering if there is a ANSI C++ standard, and if have one, > where I can find an introduction about it.
