The first three parts of this book discussed apects of C++ that most C++ programmers are likely to use at some point. In addition, C++ defines some features that are more specialized. Many programmers will never (or only rarely) need to use the features presented in this chapter.
C++ is intended for use in a wide variety of applications. As a result, it contains features that are particular to some applications and that need never be used by others. In this chapter we look at some of the less-commonly used features in the language.
