There is no such thing.  You need to find a C reference that
suits you if you want to do C; and you need to find a C++
reference that suits you if you want to indulge in the C++
perversion.

Both languages are the subject of ISO standards; and those are
the only reliable references, although a tiny subset of the
available books have some reference material that is usable.

For C, the canonical tutorial and reference is K&R2[1] and its
errata[2].  I have no opinions on C++ books, except that all the
ones I've read are pretty useless.

Cheers, Greg
