Obtaining Official ISO C++ Document?

[mackabee]

Where can I get information about the C++ standard?
Where can I download the newest released standard? (wasn't it around 2003?)

I'm just all around confused on how the standard is organized and would like to understand how it works.

You don't need information about the current standard. C++ books and references usually update to accomodate. Same with IDEs, you don't need to download the new standard because it's expected that all IDEs accomodate, and all of the used ones currently do. (VC++, Eclipse, wxdev, code::blocks, g++, etc...)
You'd be better off checking out the next standard, 0x (you can check on wikipedia).

I'm sorry but that doesn't answer any of my questions =[ I already knew current reference books carried this information but I would like the original non edited free version unless for some weird reason the standard costs money to read over?

You may be able to find it online, google "ISO/IEC 14882" and maybe look for a result from openassist.googlecode.com

Thanks Grey Wolf, that's what I was looking at before I posted this topic. I wasn't sure if there was another place that held the standard because it kind of surprised me that it would cost money.

You should pay to have the standard paper.
However, for some weird reason, you can get it for free at IEC's website ( http://www.iec.ch/ )
You need to search for "iso/iec 14882:2003" with their search engine and it will give you the pdf of the standard as third result
- Of course you can also Google for the pdf -

Thanks Bazzy and again Grey Wolf; found it on both iec.ch and openassist.googlecode.com.

I appreciate the help =]

I think the link that you refer to, Bazzy, is just a preview - rather than the whole document.

For the OP, I believe the "draft" version of the standard is downloadable free, but as Bazzy mentioned - you are required to pay for the final version.

Best wishes,

I never seen a preview of 785 pages...

Bazzy,
it's a third link from search(as you said):
http://webstore.iec.ch/preview/info_isoiec14882%7Bed2.0%7Den.pdf
And this document has only 21 pages, not 785.

[Bazzy]

Maybe they removed it.
I downloaded the same file some time ago and it was the full document

[Denis]

I guess it was draft version, is not it?

[Bazzy]

No, it was the full one.
I was surprised that they were giving it for free, they may have noticed it and replaced the file with the short one

The instruction in my first post must have been too cryptic

Finally! After 3 years I have the freaking standard document! I've been too cheap to buy it all this time and google yielded no free results. Thank you Grey Wolf!
