Effective STL: 50 Specific Ways to Improve Your Use of the Standard Template Library (Addison-Wesley Professional Computing)by Scott Meyers
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:C++'s Standard Template Library is revolutionary, but learning to use it well has always been a challenge. Until now. In this book, best-selling author Scott Meyers (Effective C++ and More Effective C++) reveals the critical rules of thumb employed by the experts — the things they almost always do or almost always avoid doing — to get the most out of the library.
Other books describe what's in the STL. Effective STL shows you how to use it. Each of the book's 50 guidelines is backed by Meyers' legendary analysis and incisive examples, so you'll learn not only what to do, but also when to do it — and why. Highlights of Effective STL include: Advice on choosing among standard STL containers (like vector and list), nonstandard STL containers (like hash_set and hash_map), and non-STL containers (like bitset). Techniques to maximize the efficiency of the STL and the programs that use it. Insights into the behavior of iterators, function objects, and allocators, including things you should not do. Guidance for the proper use of algorithms and member functions whose names are the same (e.g., find), but whose actions differ in subtle (but important) ways. Discussions of potential portability problems, including straightforward ways to avoid them. Like Meyers' previous books, Effective STL is filled with proven wisdom that comes only from experience. Its clear, concise, penetrating style makes it an essential resource for every STL programmer. Book News Annotation:Explains how to combine STL components to take advantage of the
library's design, describes common STL errors and how to avoid them,
and discusses ways to optimize code. Guidelines give advice on
choosing among standard STL containers, discuss portability problems,
explain the proper use of algorithms and member functions whose names
are the same but whose actions differ, and gives insight into the
behavior of iterators, function objects, and allocators. Appendices
discuss locales and case-insensitive string comparisons, and
Microsoft's STL platforms. For STL programmers. Meyers has written
several books on C++.
Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) Review:"This is Effective C++ volume three — it's really that good." Herb Sutter, independent consultant and secretary of the ISO/ANSI C++ standards committee Review:"There are very few books which all C++ programmers must have. Add Effective STL to that list." Thomas Becker, Senior Software Engineer, Zephyr Associates, Inc., and columnist, C/C++ Users Journal Synopsis:Fifty practical techniques for making the most of the STL (Standard Template Library). STL is a C++ library of container classes, algorithms, and iterators. It provides many of the basic algoritms and data structures of computer science. Synopsis:The goal of this book is to provide the working C++ programmer with fifty specific ways to improve his or her use of C++'s Standard Template Library. It gives advice on what should be done, and why, and what should not be done, and why not. It focuses on iterators, containers, function objects, and algorithms. It concentrates on using the STL, not extending it. About the AuthorScott Meyers is one of the world's foremost authorities on C++, providing training and consulting services to clients worldwide. He is the author of the best-selling Effective C++ series of books (Effective C++, More Effective C++, and Effective STL) and of the innovative Effective C++ CD. He is consulting editor for Addison Wesley's Effective Software Development Series and serves on the Advisory Board for The C++ Source (http://www.artima.com/cppsource).
