All the languages are different. But Stroustrup describes some of the
details of C++ in "D+E", "Design and Evolution of C++". Some details
of C++ are standardized and so would be both in the ISO standard and
in the more advanced C++ books. Virtual function dispatch is not
standardized except as to requirements, but Stroustrup's works usually
describe some form of v-table, which is common among C++
implementations. There's some heavy v-table hackery in Coplein's
"Advanced C++: Styles and Idioms."
