学习编程的人都知道，阅读、剖析名家代码乃是提高水平的捷径。源码之前，了无秘密。大师们的缜密思维、经验结晶、技术思路、独到风格，都原原本本体现在源码之中。
这本书所呈现的源码，使读者看到vector的实现、list的实现、heap的实现、deque的实现、Red Black tree的实现、hash table的实现、set/map的实现；看到各种算法（排序、查找、排列组合、数据移动与复制技术）的实现；甚至还能够看到底层的memory pool和高阶抽象的traits机制的实现。

In Modern C++ Design, Andrei Alexandrescu opens new vistas for C++ programmers. Displaying extraordinary creativity and virtuosity, Alexandrescu offers a cutting-edge approach to software design that unites design patterns, generic programming, and C++, enabling programmers to achieve expressive, flexible, and highly reusable code. The book introduces the concept of generic components, reusable design templates that enable an easier and more seamless transition from design to application code, generate code that better expresses the original design intention, and support the reuse of design structures with minimal recoding. The author then shows how to apply this approach to recurring, real-world issues that C++ programmers face in their day-to-day activity. All code is available on the Web, along with Alexandrescu's downloadable Loki C++ library, which provides powerful out-of-the-box functionality for virtually any C++ project. For experienced C++ programmers who have at least some familiarity with the Standard Template Library (STL).
