The topics in this section provide a formal definition of C++ language and its implementation in the CodeGear C++ compiler. They describe the legal ways in which tokens can be grouped together to form expressions, statements, and other significant units.

Topics

Name | Description
Binary Operators | This section contains Binary Operator topics.
Declarations | This section briefly reviews concepts related to declarations: objects, storage classes, types, scope, visibility, duration, and linkage. A general knowledge of these is essential before tackling the full declaration syntax. Scope, visibility, duration, and linkage determine those portions of a program that can make legal references to an identifier in order to access its object.
Declaration Syntax | All six interrelated attributes (storage classes, types, scope, visibility, duration, and linkage) are determined in diverse ways by declarations. Declarations can be defining declarations (also known as definitions) or referencing declarations (sometimes known as nondefining declarations). A defining declaration, as the name implies, performs both the duties of declaring and defining; the nondefining declarations require a definition to be added somewhere in the program. A referencing declaration introduces one or more identifier names into a program. A definition actually allocates memory to an object and associates an identifier with that object.
