Is there a book that teaches best practice C++11 without teaching any of the old cruft?

What an amazingly unhelpful, snarky, useless comment. If you don't like the question or I guess the topic, just skip it.

You're more likely to find up-to-date and useful resources on the 'net then in a dead-tree form.

Moreover, you aren't likely to be able to write any meaningful code without cruft, because you'll have to use existing libraries, where that cruft lives.

Giving you a reference to writing C properly--something most folks still don't do--is actually somewhat helpful as opposed to pure snark.

Does C++ have a fixed ABI yet? Is there a fixed name-mangling scheme across compilers? How do I bind other languages to the lambdas?

No, its just pure snark. C and C++ are long different. I love K&R[1] C, but is really doesn't show properly written C unless some update occurs that addresses the newer standards and all the fun memory issues.

Pretty useless for the purpose of my question. I was asking a simple question, your just in it to spread snark.

1) The original edition was one of my favorite books and what I used to learn C back in the day.
