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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 .
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 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".
Placement syntax. In the C++ programming language, placement syntax allows programmers to explicitly specify the memory management of individual objects — i.e. their "placement" in memory. Normally, when an object is created dynamically, an allocation function is invoked in such a way that it will both allocate memory for the object, and ...
