The C++11 Lands

Updated 3/9/2017: The C++17 Lands map is here, which is up-to-date with the most recent Holy Standard changes.

A lot has happened in the C++ lands recently. Our old map has become outdated. During the New Year holidays me and my friend Jim added some new stuff to the map. Well, he is the artist, so he actually added everything. We have a New Standard War now, old territories are significantly improved.

Here is the new version! ~13Mb.



JPEG version, which is smaller

People were very creative and found some interesting ways to use the previous version of the map besides "print it and put on a wall". A German university uses it to teach students C++. The map was used on conferences. A small Russian store selling knifes used it in an advertisement.
We don't mind, you can do whatever you want with it. But remember that some of the elements of the map were taken by Jim from internets and we don't own copyrights on them.

P.S. sources will be published soon

The C++ Lands. With sources.

Updated 3/9/2017: The C++17 Lands map is here, which is up-to-date with the most recent Holy Standard changes.

This is an old post, I decided to repost this translation here and added sources.

People ask me about copyrights. I don't mind if you use it somewhere... anywhere you like. But some of the elements of the map were taken by Jim from clipart galleries, I don't own copyrights on them.


The map is very popular all over the Internet. It's discussed on reddit and boingboing.


C++ language is quite complicated. It looks like a total mess when you start studying it. That's why I tried to draw a scheme of it. My drawing was real crap and I asked a friend to help me. And now, thanks to Jim, we have a nice and simple C++ language map.

The current version. With templates and Qt. 1600x1110. And for printing 3298×2288.


The previous one. With a typo.


Old version in higher resolution: 2702x1886
