Review title: Out of date & full of mistakes
Product review: For the first time in my life I returned this book to the library. It is full of mistakes and so out of date that a lot of the discussion is either irrelevant or redundant. It uses old-style casts, is not const-correct, doesn't make any reference to the standard library. I've even seen a '#define kPoolSize 4096'! (p. 285) This is supposed to be an advanced book on C++ (although it repeats what exceptions and templates are) but read instead 'Design Patterns' and '(More) Effective C++'. You will know a lot more afterwards.
