C++ standard documentation

[seppel]

Where would I find it?

[Moschops]

The C++ standard is ISO/IEC 14882, third edition dated 2011. It is sold by the ISO group. I have heard rumours that pirates make it available on the internet.

http://en.cppreference.com/ is a pretty good ready reference.

EDIT: Yeah, you have to pay for the latest draft (September 2011). This is the latest working draft that is freely available (February 2011).

It is a bitch to read

guestgulkan +1, this is going to leave you with a ton of oddly specific questions if you're not at least at an intermediate skill level. It also won't teach you too much useful stuff as far as programming goes. It's more for the people trying to build compilers or maybe IDE's.

It is an excellent source for an absolute, authoritative answer, but I'd never read it like a book.

It is a bitch to read

Over 1300 pages of bitch.

What's more, programming folk aren't renowned for their clear writing ability so it makes it a bit more of a bitch (bitch++ if you will).
