History of C++
During the 60s while computers were still on early stage of development many new programming languages appeared. Among them ALGOL 60 was developed as an alternative to FORTRAN but taking from it some concepts of structured programming which would later inspire most procedural languages. ALGOL 68 also influenced directly in the development of data types in C. Nevertheless ALGOL was an unspecific language and its abstraction made it little practical to solve most commercial tasks.
In 1963 the CPL (Combined Programming language) appeared with the idea of being more specific for concrete programming tasks of that time than ALGOL or FORTRAN. Nevertheless the same definition made it a cumbersome language and therefore difficult to learn and to implement.
In 1967 Martin Richards developed the BCPL (Basic Combined Programming Language) that signified simplicity of CPL but kept the most important features the language offered although it continued to be an abstract and somewhat cumbersome language.
In 1970 Ken Thompson immersed in the development of UNIX at Bell Labs, created the В language. It was a port of BCPL for a specific machine and system (DEC PDP-7 and UNIX) and was adapted to his particular taste and necessities. The final result was an even greater simplification of CPL and it was dependent on the system. It had great limitations such as it did not compile to executable code but threaded-code, which generates slower code in execution, and therefore was inadequate for the development of an operating system. It was the reason why since 1971, Denis Ritchie, from the Bell Labs team, began the development of а В compiler which, among other things, was able to generate executable code directly. This "New B", finally called C, introduced in addition some other new concepts to the language for example, data types (char).
In 1973 Denis Ritchie had developed the bases of C. The inclusion of types its handling as well as the improvement of arrays and pointers, along with later demonstrated capacity of portability without becoming a high-level language contributed to the expansion of the С language. It was established in the book "The С Programming Language" by Brian Kernighan and Denis Ritchie known as the White Book. That served as de facto standard until the publication of formal ANSI standard (ANSI X3J11 committee) in 1989.
In 1980 Bjarne Stroustrup from Bell labs began the development of the C++ language, that would receive formally this name at the end of 1983 when its first manual was going to be published. In October 1985 the first commercial release of the language appeared as well as the first edition of the book "The C++ Programming Language" by Bjarne Stroustrup.
During the 80s the C++ language was being refined until it became a language of its own personality. In fact, the ANSI standard for the С language published in 1989 made great contributions to C++ for the structured programming.
From 1990 ANSI committee X3J16 began the development of a specific standard for C++. The period before the publication of the standard in 1998, C++ greatly developed in its use and today it is the most widely used language for developing the professional applications in all platforms.
