Bjarne Stroustrup, the creator of C++, in his AT&T New Jersey office, c. 2000. In 1979, Bjarne Stroustrup, a Danish computer scientist, began work on "C with Classes", the predecessor to C++. [21] The motivation for creating a new language originated from Stroustrup's experience in programming for his PhD thesis.
Bjarne Stroustrup ( / ˈbjɑːrnə ˈstrɒvstrʊp /; Danish: [ˈpjɑːnə ˈstʁʌwˀstʁɔp]; [ 2][ 3] born 30 December 1950) is a Danish computer scientist, known for the development of the C++ programming language. [ 4] He led the Large-scale Programming Research department at Bell Labs, served as a professor of computer science at Texas A&M ...
C++ is a statically typed, free-form, multi-paradigm, compiled, general-purpose programming language. It is regarded as an intermediate-level language, as it comprises a combination of both high-level and low-level language features. [1] It was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup starting in 1979 at Bell Labs as an enhancement to the C language .
Cfront was the original compiler for C++ (then known as " C with Classes") from around 1983, which converted C++ to C; developed by Bjarne Stroustrup at AT&T Bell Labs. The preprocessor did not understand all of the language and much of the code was written via translations. Cfront had a complete parser, built symbol tables, and built a tree ...
005.13/3 19. LC Class. QA76.73.C153 S77 1986. The C++ Programming Language is a computer programming book first published in October 1985. It was the first book to describe the C++ programming language, written by the language's creator, Bjarne Stroustrup. In the absence of an official standard, the book served for several years as the de facto ...
RAII is associated most prominently with C++, where it originated, but also Ada, [3] Vala, [4] and Rust. [5] The technique was developed for exception-safe resource management in C++ [6] during 1984–89, primarily by Bjarne Stroustrup and Andrew Koenig, [7] and the term itself was coined by Stroustrup. [8]
In 2002, Bjarne Stroustrup proposed that a standardized version of the operator be added to the C++ language, and suggested the name "decltype", to reflect that the operator would yield the "declared type" of an expression. decltype's semantics were designed to cater to both generic library writers and novice programmers. In general, the ...
In a 1991 retrospective on the history of C++, its inventor Bjarne Stroustrup called the lack of a standard string type (and some other standard types) in C++ 1.0 the worst mistake he made in its development; "the absence of those led to everybody re-inventing the wheel and to an unnecessary diversity in the most fundamental classes".
