Go to http://www.iso.org and search for "C++ programming language"
standards. Pick the newest one. :-)

Copies of standard documents might cost and arm and a leg, but they're huge
whoppers anyway. A purchase for life! ;-)

If you don't have that much money, you might get a partial copy (i.e.
without the first page ;-) ) from a university library. They usually have
those standards sitting around somewhere. And it's still legal to do that.
;-)

Other than that, you could make do with the latest Stroustrup books about
C++ as well. Usually "The C++ programming language" book contains the exact
syntax definition of C++ as well. :-)

I hope this helped.

Regards,
Ekkehard Morgenstern.

great help, thanks!!

you're welcome! :-)

BTW, I just searched ISO myself and only the search term "programmin g
languages C++" yields the desired result.

The current ISO C++ standard from 2003 is "ISO/IEC 14882:2003" and costs CHF
364,00.

I hope that helps.

If you are willing to settle for a PDF file a cheap alternative for the
rather expensive ISO version can be found here: http://tinyurl.com/31yw

Thanks!!! :-)

I've just seen that BSI also published the current C Standard (ISO
9899:1999). Great!! :-)

I hope these books will help that people will write more compilers for C and
C++, so we have more choices! :-)

And they're definitely more affordable than the ISO documents. :-)

True. However, you can get that in book form from Wiley for about $60
and in pdf from ANSI from $18. See my C++ page for details.

Nope. The PDF one with TC1 applied (2003) is currently priced at $273 (US)
at ANSI. Only the orignal 1998 one is available at $18.
