C++ Standard

[Jon Slaughter]

A lot of you guys are always "quoting" the C++ standard and making
references to it and I'm wondering where do I get it? Hopefully it is free?

Unfortunately, it does not seem to be free. You may found older
versions online (google.com is your friend), but you can also buy it in
electronic form online from the ANSI store for example:
http://webstore.ansi.org/ansidocstor...IEC+14882-2003

It is available for USD $18 (PDF format).

Cheers,

Not quite, you can purchase an electronic version for, I think, $18; and
dead tree copy is ridiculously expensive. Have a look at:

An outdated version can be found at:

It's important to note though that anyone who refers to the Standard in
these newsgroups is able to do so because they have commited it
entirely to memory. Indeed it is considered poor form, if not outright
"cheating", to consult the actual standard instead of one's own
recollection of its contents in any discussion that references it.
Relying on memory has several advantages: it saves both time and
effort, but most importantly it eliminates the embarrassment of ever
having to retract or admit one's own error, since who is to say that
your recollection of the Standard is better than anyone else's?

ps. yes, I'm kidding...

Well, I must be a lucky bunny. Normally the dead wood version is far
more expensive, but I managed to get a copy for approximately the same
price as the electronic copy. Before anybody asks, I haven't seen it on
offer again for some time, and even then the few copies available sold
out fairly quickly.
Apologies for being such a smug, (insert expletive here). But I'm
sure everybody periodically catches a bargain and in this case it
appears it was my turn.

Even easier: You might have luck Googling for 'ansi_iso_iec_14882-1998.pdf'
