References and Additional Reading

+ +A number of excellent design and programming books describe the C++ +Standard Library in an approachable way. In addition, besides the +required Class +Reference, this implementation of the library also includes an +extensive User +Guide complete with tutorials and example programs. That being +said, the ultimate reference to the C++ Standard Library is, of +course, the C++ Standard itself (and to a smaller extent, also the C +Standard). An electronic copy of the most recent version of the C++ +and C standards can be obtained from the ANSI eStandards store. + +

Disclaimer

+
+

+ +The ASF Incubation Policy requires + +every Podling +to include a clear disclaimer on its Web site and in all documentation +stating that it is in incubation. + +

+

+ + +STDCXX is an effort undergoing incubation at the Apache Software +Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Incubator PMC. Incubation is +required of all newly accepted projects until a further review +indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making +process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful +ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection +of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that +the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF. + + +
