Question

There are countless articles and blogs discussing C++'s most vexing parse, but I can't seem to find any with a more substantial reference than "the C++ literature."

Where did this term come from?

Was it helpful?

Solution

Scott Meyers book Effective STL: 50 Specific Ways to Improve Your Use of the Standard Template Library of 2001 might be first published use.
