Simula is a name for two simulation programming languages, simula 1 and simula 67, developed in the 1960s at the Norwegian computing center in Oslo, by Ole-Johan Dahl and Kristen Nygaard.
Simula is considered the first object-oriented programming language. As its name suggests, simula was designed for doing simulations, and the needs of that domain provided the framework for many of the features of object-oriented languages today.
C with classes which as the name implies was meant to be a superset of the c language,
His language included classes, basic inheritance, inlining, default functions arguments and strong type checking in addition to all the features of the c language.
Cfront was the original compiler for c++ from around 1983, which coverted c++ to c. The preprocessor did not understand all of the language and much of the code was written via translations. Cfront had a complete parser, built symbol tables, and built tree for each class, and functions
Cfront was based on CPre (C with classes compiler, which was started in 1979)
The ++ operator in the C language is an operator for incrementing a variable, which gives some insight into how Stroustrup regarded the language
The c++ programming language was the first book to describe the c++ programming language, written by the language’s creator Bjarne stroustrup, and first published in October 1985, in the absence of an official standard, the book served for several years as the de facto documentation for the evolving c++ language until the release of the ISO/IEC 14882:1998
Turbo C++ added a plethora of additional libraries which would have a considerable impact on C++'s development. Although Turbo C++'s last stable release was in 2006, the compiler is still widely used.
C++ ISO/IEC 14882;1998 = The Annotated C++ Reference Manual was said to be a large influence in the development of the standard. The Standard Template Library, which began its conceptual development in 1979, was also included.
IN 2005 The new standard was informally dubbed C++0x as it was expected to be released sometime before the end of the first decade. Ironically, however, the new standard would not be released until mid-2011. Several technical reports were released up until then, and some compilers began adding experimental support for the new features.
IN 2011 Some of the new features included regular expression support a comprehensive randomization library, a new C++ time library, atomics support, a standard threading library (which up until 2011 both C and C++ were lacking), a new for loop syntax providing functionality similar to foreach loops in certain other languages, the auto keyword, new container classes, better support for unions and array-initialization lists, and variadic templates.
Company uses c++
Adobe = all major applications are developed in c++ photoshop, illustrator, acrobat, indesign, golive, frame
Amadeus = running the biggest non-military datacenter in Europe
Amazon.com = software for large scale e-commerce
Apple = osx is written in a mix of language, but a few important part are c++. The two most interesting are finder and iokit device drivers
At&t = the largest us telecommunications provider
Facebook = several high-performance and high reliability components
Google = web search engine, etc. chromium browser, google file system, map reduce
Microsoft = literally everything at Microsoft is built using recent flavors of visual c
