Book Info
The first book to provide complete and accurate information on using templates in C++. A complete reference as well as a tutorial. Includes real-world examples. Every working C++ programmer will need a copy of this book for his or her library.

From the Back Cover

Templates are among the most powerful features of C++, but they are too often neglected, misunderstood, and misused. C++ Templates: The Complete Guide provides software architects and engineers with a clear understanding of why, when, and how to use templates to build and maintain cleaner, faster, and smarter software more efficiently.

C++ Templates begins with an insightful tutorial on basic concepts and language features. The remainder of the book serves as a comprehensive reference, focusing first on language details, then on a wide range of coding techniques, and finally on advanced applications for templates. Examples used throughout the book illustrate abstract concepts and demonstrate best practices.

Readers learn

    * The exact behaviors of templates
    * How to avoid the pitfalls associated with templates
    * Idioms and techniques, from the basic to the previously undocumented
    * How to reuse source code without threatening performance or safety
    * How to increase the efficiency of C++ programs
    * How to produce more flexible and maintainable software

This practical guide shows programmers how to exploit the full power of the template features in C++.
