\Cpp{} is a general purpose programming language based on the C
programming language as described in \IsoC{}.
\Cpp{} provides many facilities
beyond those provided by C, including additional data types,
classes, templates, exceptions, namespaces, operator
overloading, function name overloading, references, free store
management operators, and additional library facilities.%
