In Volume 1, Wilson’s innovative techniques help you master STL
extension in two important areas: adapting technology-specific libraries
and operating system APIs to STL-compliant collections, and defining
sophisticated iterator adaptors with which the latent efficiency and
expressive power of STL can be realized. Using real-world examples,
Wilson illustrates several powerful concepts and techniques that enable
you to extend STL in directions never envisioned by its creators,
including collections, element reference categories, external iterator
invalidation and inferred interface adaptation. Extended STL, Volume 1,
will be an invaluable resource for every C++ programmer who is at least
minimally familiar with the STL.
- Learn specific principles and techniques for STL extension
- Learn more about the STL by looking inside the implementation of STL
extensions
- Learn general techniques for implementing wrappers over operating
system APIs and technology-specific libraries
- Learn how to write iterator adaptors and understand the reasons
behind the restrictions on their implementations and use Specific
coverage includes:
- Making the most of collections, and understanding how they differ
from containers
- Mastering element reference categories: defining them, detecting
them, and using them to design STL extension collections and iterators
- Working with external iterator invalidation, and understanding its
surprising impact on the design of STL-compatible collections
- Adapting real-world APIs ranging from file
- system enumeration to scatter/gather I/O
- Using standalone iterator types, from simple std::ostream_iterator
extensions to sophisticated adaptors that filter and transform types or
values
