* Victor Bazarov:
If such ability exists, it would be in a tool you're using, not in the
language itself. MS Visual Studio, for example, has that ability. But
it's not a feature of the language and as such OT here, sorry.
I disagree, and I think this is in the FAQ somewhere.
There are many websites that offer what the OP requests.
Perhaps the most well-known and also most reliable is Dinkumware's,
currently at <url:
http://www.dinkumware.com/refxcpp.html>. Also, MSDN
is extensive, but does not clearly differentiate between what's standard
and what's Microsoft, <url:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library>. And
although probably a bit dated and certainly a bit more than what's now
standard in C++, <url:
http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/>; ditto the
seemingly aborted effort at <url:
http://www.cplusplus.com/ref/#libs>;
I don't know if there's documentation with StlPort but that's also a
possibility, <url:
http://www.stlport.org/download.html>.
Then there is, of course, the definitive reference, the C++ _standard_,
which however costs $18 or something, available in PDF format from ISO
(C++ has a standard but no free definitive reference, Java has no
standard but a free and time-varying reference).
If $18 sounds prohibitive (e.g., I have some in-principle objections to
paying for the standard), then the pre-standard second committee draft,
the "CD2", is available from a number of sources, including Bjarne
Stroustrup's home pages. It can be supplemented with the official
revisions lists, also free. For the dedicated FreeCyber hacker the
official standard is also free on the net, but using that is illegal.
