'''C++''' is named after the derived from::compatible with::C language, from which it is derived. C++ extends C into an object-oriented language. However, unlike other object-oriented languages, it doesn't try to force you into object-oriented programming, but is a multi-paradigm language. Besides conventional procedural programming and object-oriented programming, it also supports generic programming.
The ++ in C++ is some what of an inside joke, in that C++ is C with a Post Increment operator attached, thus C++ is C + 1; however, this interpretation has the flaw that post-increment increments the value ''after'' returning the value, so the post-increment expression still evaluates to the value before the increment.
If you can't find an implementation for your task in the C++ category below, please look in the C category, as many of the tasks can be implemented identically in C and C++.
Versions
- '''C++98''' is the version of C++ standardized by ISO in 1998. It is the most commonly used and supported version of the language. The term "C++" usually refers to C++98.
- '''C++03''' is a minor improvement to C++98, standardized by ISO in 2003.
- '''TR1''' (Technical Report 1) is a proposal for extensions to the C++ standard library.
It was published in 2007.
Many of its proposals made it into C++11.
Many compilers support it, but put its headers in a different directory.
- '''C++11''' (formerly called '''C++0x''' and sometimes '''C++1x''') is a significant improvement, adding many new language features and libraries. It was standardized by ISO in 2011. Most of its features are available in GCC [http://gcc.gnu.org/projects/cxx0x.html] and Clang [http://clang.llvm.org/cxx_status.html].
- '''C++14''' (formerly called '''C++1y''') is a minor improvement to C++11, standardized by ISO in 2014. Most of its features are available in Clang [http://clang.llvm.org/cxx_status.html] and GCC [http://gcc.gnu.org/projects/cxx1y.html].
- '''C++17''' (formerly called '''C++1z''') is a minor improvement to C++14, standardized by ISO in 2017. Most of its features are available in Clang [http://clang.llvm.org/cxx_status.html] and GCC [https://gcc.gnu.org/projects/cxx-status.html#cxx17].
- '''C++2a''' ('''C++20 ''' unofficially) is a major upcoming improvement to C++17 first drafted in July 2017. What proposed features it will have is currently partially implemented by Clang [http://clang.llvm.org/cxx_status.html] and GCC [https://gcc.gnu.org/projects/cxx-status.html#tses]
