Karlsson, Principle Architect, ReadSoft, author of Beyond C + + Standard Library An: Introduction In Extended STL, renowned C + + expert Matthew Wilson shows how to go beyond C + + standard and extend the Standard Template Library into the wider C + + world of APIs and non-standard collections, to write software that is more efficient, expressive, flexible , and strong. Volume 1, Wilson? In s innovative techniques help you master STL extension in two important areas: adapting technology-specific libraries and operating system APIs STL-compliant collections, and iterators defining a sophisticated adapters with latent expressive power efficiency and STL can be realized. Using real-world examples, Wilson illustrates several powerful concepts and techniques that allow you to extend STL directions never imagined by their creators, including collections, element reference categories, the removal of an external iterator interface and adaptation inferred. Extended STL, Volume 1, will be a valuable resource for any C + + programmer that is at least at least familiar with STL.
