Introduction to programming in standard C and C++

Introduction to programming in standard C and C++

Programming in standard C and C++ describes the C and C++ compilation system for SCO OpenServer and discusses how to transition to ANSI/ISO C. In addition, this topic includes material that most programmers will find invaluable, but that does not lend itself to the reference manual format, such as the diagnostics messages found in ``Compiler diagnostics''.

Programming in standard C and C++ does not attempt to teach you how to program in C or C++, nor does it cover every system tool you might conceivably use in creating a C or C++ program. For details concerning other compilation system tools, see Software development tools and Programming with System Calls and Libraries. Tools for debugging , analyzing and profilling your programs are discussed in Debugging and analyzing C and C++ programs.

The following two texts are recommended for programmers new to the C language:

Kernighan and Ritchie, The C Language, Second Edition, 1988, Prentice-Hall;
Harbison and Steele, C: A Reference Manual, Second Edition, 1987, Prentice-Hall.

For programmers new to the C++ language, the following texts are recommended:

Stroustrup, The C++ Programming Language, Third Edition, Addison-Wesley, 1997.

For implementation-specific details not covered in this book, refer to the Application Binary Interface for your machine.
