C++ Reference Book

Possible Duplicate:
The Definitive C++ Book Guide and List

Can someone list a C++ book that is just a reference to the standard library? I don't need a "learning c++" book just one that is a reference. Or at least official documentation or something? Googling only reveals "fan-site" reference.

The C++ Standard Library - A Tutorial and Reference by Nicolai M. Josuttis.

For an online resource, I like C++ Reference.

Take a look at The Definitive C++ Book Guide and List.

I regularly use (and contribute to) the online reference cppreference.com. I also still use Nicolai Josuttis' book that Klatchko mentioned, when I need a more in depth description than a reference provides.

Here is a link to the C++ Standard in PDF form.

I don't believe that download is legitimate (from a legal standpoint). That PDF is sold by ANSI for $30 (cf. [Michael Burr's list of where to get the various C and C++ standards](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/81656/where-do-i-find-the-current-c-or-c-standard-documents/83763#83763)).

You can also try this site:

Rougewave C++ Standard Library Reference

This is a C++ standard library reference ( mixed somewhat with a tutorial as in Josuttis' book ) by a company that implements it, so it's definitely accurate ( or at least I hope so ;) ).
