Iso/Iec 14882:2017

C++ is a general-purpose programming language created by Bjarne Stroustrup as an extension of C with object-oriented features. It has expanded over time to include generic and functional features in addition to low-level memory manipulation capabilities. C++ is standardized by ISO and was initially created at Bell Labs in 1979, with the latest standard version ratified in 2017. It is designed for performance, efficiency, and flexibility for system programming, embedded systems, large systems, and has also found success in desktop applications, games, servers and other performance-critical applications.

C++ (/ˌsiːˌplʌsˈplʌs/) is a general-purpose programming language created by Bjarne Stroustrup as

an extension of the C programming language, or "C with Classes". The language has expanded
significantly over time, and modern C++ now has object-oriented, generic, and functional features in
addition to facilities for low-level memory manipulation. It is almost always implemented as
a compiled language, and many vendors provide C++ compilers, including the Free Software
Foundation, LLVM, Microsoft, Intel, Oracle, and IBM, so it is available on many platforms.[9]
C++ was designed with a bias toward system programming and embedded, resource-constrained
software and large systems, with performance, efficiency, and flexibility of use as its design
highlights.[10] C++ has also been found useful in many other contexts, with key strengths being
software infrastructure and resource-constrained applications,[10] including desktop
applications, video games, servers (e.g. e-commerce, Web search, or SQL servers), and
performance-critical applications (e.g. telephone switches or space probes).[11]
C++ is standardized by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), with the latest
standard version ratified and published by ISO in December 2017 as ISO/IEC
14882:2017 (informally known as C++17).[12] The C++ programming language was initially
standardized in 1998 as ISO/IEC 14882:1998, which was then amended by the C++03, C+
+11 and C++14 standards. The current C++17 standard supersedes these with new features and an
enlarged standard library. Before the initial standardization in 1998, C++ was developed by Danish
computer scientist Bjarne Stroustrup at Bell Labs since 1979 as an extension of the C language; he
wanted an efficient and flexible language similar to C that also provided high-level features for
program organization.[13] Since 2012, C++ is on a three-year release schedule,[14] with C++20 the next
planned standard (and then C++23).[15]
