I moved to Linux after some time programming in Windows (on VC++) and so I suddenly I cannot acces my MSDN (and I cannot connect to inet every time I need something in documentation). I wonder if there's some documentation on pure C++ (including the C standard library, C++ one and STL, but no Qt, nor Kde, ...). Or if there's a way how to run the offline MSDN on Linux (I think, that no... - it's Microsoft

). I've been searching for some time on internet, but found nothing (useful). I think, that here must be some C++ Linux programmer with modem

You can grab a draft copy of the C++ standard in PDF from
http://www.comnets.rwth-aachen.de/doc/c++std.html

The last draft is close enough to the final to work off of as a reference.

For most of the standard C library you can use the man pages. e.g. type "man malloc" at the console.

I''d give so-so odds that you can run the MSDN library application with WINE.

If you''re a big fan of MSDN goto http://msdn.microsoft.com/ and use their search feature. Set the toggle to "all library" and you will see similar results to the MSDN CDs

The groups that make the libraries (glibc and libstdc++, in this case) provide documentation. You can probably download "glibc-doc" and "libstdc++-doc" type packages from where ever you download other distro-related things. Or, you can browse them online here and here (or, to drop you more directly into the latter, here).

A good SGI implementation for the STL and a useful inline/downloadable reference.

Thanks a lot for those links. That''s exactly what I''ve been searching for.
