Mastering the C++17 STL. Make full use of the standard library components in C++17

Modern C++ has come a long way since 2011. The latest update, C++17, has just been ratified and several implementations are on the way.This book is your guide to the C++ standard library, including the very latest C++17 features.

• The book starts by exploring the C++ Standard Template Library in depth.
• You will learn the key differences between classical polymorphism and generic programming, the foundation of the STL.
• You will also learn how to use the various algorithms and containers in the STL to suit your programming needs.
• The next module delves into the tools of modern C++.

• In the final module, you will learn about C++'s support for regular expressions and file I/O.

Here you will learn about algebraic types such as std::optional, vocabulary types such as std::function, smart pointers, and synchronization primitives such as std::atomic and std::mutex. By the end of the book you will be proficient in using the C++17 standard library to implement real programs, and you'll have gained a solid understanding of the library's own internals.
