C++ style and API

Hello there,

Does somebody know if there is a C++ API Documentation like Java's? I've only found creference.com, but many functions ( such as sort(), stable_sort(), or <algorithm> ) aren't there. It seems it only has the Standard Template Library, is there any site with the standard library?

I've also been wondering, if there is a standard c++ coding style, so as given by Sun for java.

Thanks!

There's no "standard" coding style.

Probably the best online reference for the standard C++ library can be found at www.dinkumware.com. When you get bored with that, or start to reach the limits of the standard library, www.boost.org is entertaining.

I also use dinkumware as my standard reference.

You can download the C and C++ language standards in PDF format from ANSI for about $20 each (You do need both to completely cover the C++ language.)

They are not "handy" references, especially as non-hyperlinked PDFs. They are written as specifications (not references), and are not that easy to understand. But, they ARE complete and accurate.

Sorry, I meant code conventions, such as this: http://java.sun.com/docs/codeconv/ht...nvTOC.doc.html for Java.

Thanks for the great answers!

There are no standard rules.. only what we call good practices/structuring/spirit... which are mostly acquired by experience

The book recommended there is very good, but contains programming practices like part 10 in your Java link rather than coding conventions/style advice.
