I fail to understand how the GNU software foundation fails to provide a free downloadable library reference for C++.
GNU did not invent C++ and are not the authority on it. You could search google for a list of sites. There's also Thinking in CPP by Bruce Eckel avaialable for free download from his site. I also found this: http://www.glenmccl.com/lang.htm. For STL there's this: http://www.cs.rpi.edu/projects/STL/htdocs/stl.html and then there's this: http://www.roguewave.com/support/docs/stdref/
Note: The only authoritative source is Bjarne Stroustrup's book: The C++ Programming Language: http://www.research.att.com/~bs/3rd.html
