Bjarne Stroustrup (/ ˈ b j ɑːr n ə ˈ s t r ɒ v s t r ʊ p /; Danish: [ˈbjɑːnə ˈstʁʌwˀstʁɔp]; [3] [4] born 30 December 1950) is a Danish computer scientist, known for the development of the C++ programming language. [5]
Cfront was the original compiler for C++ (then known as "C with Classes") from around 1983, which converted C++ to C; developed by Bjarne Stroustrup at AT&T Bell Labs. The preprocessor did not understand all of the language and much of the code was written via translations.
The first edition of The C++ Programming Language was published in 1985. As C++ evolved, a second edition was published in July 1991, reflecting the changes made. The third edition of the book was first published on 30 June 1997; a hardcover version of the third edition, with two new appendices, was later published as The C++ Programming Language: Special Edition on 11 February 2000.
Bjarne Stroustrup, the creator of C++, in his AT&T New Jersey office, c. 2000. In 1979, Bjarne Stroustrup, a Danish computer scientist, began work on "C with Classes", the predecessor to C++. [28] The motivation for creating a new language originated from Stroustrup's experience in programming for his PhD thesis.
RAII is associated most prominently with C++, where it originated, but also Ada, [3] Vala, [4] and Rust. [5] The technique was developed for exception-safe resource management in C++ [6] during 1984–1989, primarily by Bjarne Stroustrup and Andrew Koenig, [7] and the term itself was coined by Stroustrup.

The influence of Simula is often understated, and Simula-type objects are reimplemented in C++, Object Pascal, Java, C#, and many other languages. Computer scientists such as Bjarne Stroustrup, creator of C++, and James Gosling, creator of Java, have acknowledged Simula as a major influence. [4]
The C++ language evolves via an open steering committee called the C++ Standards Committee. The committee is composed of the creator of C++ Bjarne Stroustrup, the convener Herb Sutter, and other prominent figures, including many representatives of industries and user-groups (i.e., the stake-holders). Being an open committee, anyone is free to ...
Bjarne Stroustrup, the creator of C++, wrote the first version of the stream I/O library in 1984, as a type-safe and extensible alternative to C's I/O library. [5] The library has undergone a number of enhancements since this early version, including the introduction of manipulators to control formatting, and templatization to allow its use with character types other than char.
