Back in the day, I found P.J. Plauger's "The Standard C Library" immensely instructive, as it contains a full implementation of the (then) standard library.
Admittedly, the book is more than 25 years old now, but I'm sure it would still make an interesting read:
https://www.amazon.com/Standard-C-Library-P-J-Plauger/dp/0131315099/ref=la_B00IP4FPWQ_1_16?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1526871663&sr=1-16&refinements=p_82%3AB00IP4FPWQ https://www.amazon.com/Standard-C-Library-P-J-Plauger/dp/013...
- atesti 8y agoWasn't Microsofts STL based on that? I remember using strings on so many binaries and always wondering about who pj Plauger is
- pjmlp 8y agoYep, his company is called Dinkumware.
- microtherion 8y agoHis libraries were licensed to a number of vendors. Specifically, the STL is covered by https://www.amazon.com/C-Standard-Template-Library/dp/0134376331/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1526922642&sr=1-3&keywords=plauger+library https://www.amazon.com/C-Standard-Template-Library/dp/013437... and there is a third book covering the rest of the standard C++ library: https://www.amazon.com/Draft-Standard-Library-P-Plauger/dp/0131170031/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1526922642&sr=1-4&keywords=plauger+library https://www.amazon.com/Draft-Standard-Library-P-Plauger/dp/0... However, the "Draft Standard C++ Library" book was finished just before the standard was radically overhauled for the STL, and the STL itself and the language have evolved massively, so in my opinion, those two book have not aged as well as the C library book has.
