# Notes on the C++ code for "Advanced C++ Programming Styles and Idioms"
# by James O. Coplien, Addison-Wesley, 1992, ISBN 0-201-54855-0.
# 
# ............................. The Layout .............................
# 
# Most figures are contained in individual files named for their figure
# designation in the book.  Examples outside of figures can be associated
# with the chapter in which they appear by the leading digit in their name.
# Each file is a clear ASCII file (that is, the files are not archived
# in any way).  You can send individual files like this:
# 
#     send 2-4.c from c++/idioms
#     send 2-2a.c from c++/idioms
#     send 5-2.c from c++/idioms
#     send fbubble.c from c++/idioms
# 
# The complete list of files is:
# 
# 10-1.c          3-15.c          5-15.c          7-5.c           emptr.h

# 11-2.c          3-18.c          5-17.c          8-2.h           erect.h

# 
# Many of these files are simply text for figures presenting code fragments,
# and are not intended to be compilable without additional surrounding
# context.  Where it is reasonable to do so, I have provided enough context
# for the code to pass compilation.  Many examples are frameworks which
# may be fleshed out by the reader as exercises.
# 
# ................... Notes on platform dependencies ...................
# 
# Much of the code was written assuming the existence of basic libraries
# to support iostreams (iostream.h), Strings (String.h), and others.
# Most systems provide header files and library code for these abstractions.
# In some cases, minor modifications to the code provided here may be
# necessary for the code to work on a given platform.  Much of the code of
# Chapter 9 and of Appendix E is environment-dependent.
# 
# ........................... Closing Remarks ..........................
# 
# I provide this code with the hope it can be of use as a model for
# building richer, application-specific abstractions in your own
# domain.  Much of the code can be compiled and run for pedagogical
# purposes.  I have compiled and run all of the complete, self-contained
# examples provided.  If you have problems compiling an example you
# think should compile, please let me know and I will try to be of
# assistance.  I will keep this archive up-to-date on research!netlib,
# to reflect fixes as well as incorporation of additional code from
# the book.
