●
Features Improving:
●
Overall Use
●
Meta-programming
●

●
Class and Object-Oriented Design
●
New Libraries
●
How to Use it Today
●
A Brief History
C With Classes – C++ v2.0
●
C++98
●
Boost C++ Libraries
●
C++03 and C++TR1
●
C++11
●
C With Classes (1979)
Started as a result of Ph.D. thesis work of
●
Bjarne Stroustrup
Added to C:
●
Classes
●
Derived classes
●
Strong type checking
●
Inlining
●
Default function arguments
●
C++ v 1.0 (1983)
Added to C With Classes:
●
Virtual functions
●
Function name and operator overloading
●
References
●
Constants
●
User-controlled, free-store memory control
●
Improved type checking
●
Single-line comments
●
The C++ Programming Language 1e published
●
(1985)
C++ v 2.0 (1989)
The C++ Programming Language 2e
●
published (1991)
Added to C++ v 1.0: Late additions:
● ●
Multiple inheritance
● Templates
●
Abstract classes
● Exceptions
●
Static member functions
●
Namespaces
●
const member functions
●
New-style casts
●
Protected members
●
Boolean type
●
C++ 98 (1998)
C++ is standardized (ISO/IEC 14882:1998)
●
Standard includes language core and standard
●
library
Standard library includes C library, containers,
●
I/O streams, and much more
Boost C++ Libraries (199x)
The Boost C++ libraries provide portable,
●
efficient implementations of many C++ library
components
Often times, libraries that appear in later
●
standards make their debut in Boost
Boost releases go back as far as 1999
●

C++ 03 (2003)
Correction to C++ standard is published
●
(ISO/IEC 14882:2003)
TR1, an extension to the standard library, was
●
also published around this time (2005)
TR1 is only a draft, not a standard
●
Most features detailed in TR1 became part of 2011
●
standard
C++ 11 (2011)
Unanimously approved by C++ committee in
●
August 2011
C++11 brings many new features, many that
●
make it more apparent that C++ is a hybrid
language
This presentation will cover most of the new
●
features in detail
