本书作者希望用户能把他们自己当成科学家与工程师的配对，生成效率高的c++模板.-The authors of this textbook urge readers to see them as a scientist- engineer pair, producing a combination C++ template tutorial with a detailed reference. They introduce language elements and design elements of the template feature of the programming language and provide coverage of template syntax and semantics. Techniques covered include static polymorphism, policy classes, metaprogramming, and expression templates. Also discussed is the C++ standard library, constructed largely with templates. Readers are expected to know C++ before approaching the book.
