I am starting to learn C++ and am curious to find out if there are any Word documents or PDF files that list all of the standard libraries, the functions contained within them, a short description of them, and how to use them. Basically, what is listed on www.cplusplus.com under the reference area. It would be a major help to have a hard copy reference list on hand that lists all of this data. Thanks in advance...

For a definitive list, you need a copy of the C++ Standard (USD 18 for a PDF from [url]www.ansi.org)[/url]. Functions inherited from C (e.g. printf) are listed but not described in the C++ Standard, and you need a copy of the C Standard (the 1990 version + Ammendment 1) for their descriptions. As C90 is no longer the current C standard -- it was superceeded in 1999 -- you cannot, as far as I know, get this any more. Many standard libray vendors provide documentation listing most of the functions. The SGI documentation on the STL (the containers and iterators parts of the standard library) is good for this http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/table_of_contents.html Dinkumware also provide an extensive online reference http://www.dinkumware.com/libraries_ref.html Quote: It would be a major help to have a hard copy reference list on hand that lists all of this data. "The C++ Standard Library" by Nicolai Josuttis is a good reference to the STL part of the standard library. The best reference for the IOStreams part of the standard library is certainly "Standard C++ IOStreams and Locales" by Angelika Langer & Klaus Kreft. I'm not aware of a good reference to bits of the library inherited from C. -- Richard Smith [ See http://www.gotw.ca/resources/clcm.htm for info about ] [ comp.lang.c++.moderated.

You can get the standard as a PDF for USD 18 from ANSI, but that doesn't say much about how to use the library: <http://webstore.ansi.org/ansidocstore/product.asp?sku=INCITS%2FISO%2FIEC+14882%2D1998> (be aware that a corrected version of the standard will be available in a month or so). Dinkumware's Unabridged Library Reference is pretty good, judging from what I've seen of it, and you can download the lot in HTML form for USD 24: <http://www.dinkumware.com/libraries_ref.html> Microsoft publishes Dinkumware's standard library documentation as part of the MSDN Library, so if you have access to that in HTML Help format you may be able to print out that section. That would probably waste a lot of paper though, as every function would be printed on its own page and would include the bogus example code added by Microsoft.
