Early 1980, Bjarne Stroustrup, from Bell labs, began the development of the C++ language, that would receive formally this name at the end of 1983, when its first manual was going to be published. In October 1985, appeared the first commercial release of the language and the first edition of the book "The C++ Programming Language" by Bjarne Stroustrup. During the 80s the C++ language was being refined until it became a language with its own personality. All that without practically loss of compatibility in the code neither to resign to its most important characteristics. In fact the ANSI standard for the C language published in 1989 gathered good part of the contributions of C++ to the structured programming. |
