1. C++: Under the Hood - Explains run-time C++ implementation details such as class layout techniques and the virtual function call mechanism. 2. Pointers to C++ Member Functions - Discusses what member function pointers are, shows how to declare and use them, and gives some examples of problems that they solve very well. 3. Type Traits Proposal - A proposal to add Type Traits to the C++ Standard Library. 4. Associative Chains in C++ NEW! - Phillip Bruce gets around some of the limitations of the pointer-to-member with a model of class associations that he calls "Associative Chains." 5.
