In a recent ad by Addison Wesley, the following two titles caught my eye:
- The C++ Language, 2nd Edition, B. Stroustrup
^^^^^^^^^^^
- The C++ Primer, 2nd Edition, S. Lippman
^^^^^^^^^^^
My questions are:
- How do these books differ from the 1st edition?
(I assume that Bjarne's book now covers C++ Release 2.0 or
higher instead of Release 1.2. What about the Primer by
Lippman?)
- Have these books hit the stores in the US? If not, when will
they be available?
Thanks for any info.

Maybe I should buy a copy; it would help me a lot with the two chapters I have yet to write :-) Seriously though, It will still be some months. You may be thinking of Ellis and Stroustrup: The Annotated Reference Manual Addison-Wesley, 1991. commonly called `the ARM.' That book differes from ``The C++ Programming Language'' in having no material on how to program. The ARM focusses on the definition of C++.
