Is there a document, book ar whatever describing the current C++ version in use? I am looking for the ansi-like version (promised by Bjarne Stroustrup in June, I believe) or failing that, the C++ 2.0 version. Ideal would be something like the C++ equivalent of "C: a reference manual" by Harbison & Steele. If no such document exists, could someone give me a complete description of the changes in C++ since the publication of "The C++ programming language" (1985) ? Thanks in advance, Felix. -- Felix Croes (croes@fwi.uva.nl)

You're talking about two things here: the 2.0 reference manual, and Dr. Stroustrup's forthcoming book. My draft copy of the former came out in May; it's an up-to-date edition of the appendix to Dr. Stroustrup's first book. > Ideal would be something like the C++ equivalent of "C: a reference > manual" by Harbison & Steele.
