I am searching for a book(s) which explains things like the following -

1. Difference between memory allocation of local and global (or other static variables)....? (or why i cant initialize a global variable more than once outside main and all other functions)

2. Holes in structures, and structures and pointers.

3. Deep concepts in pointers, objects, classes.....i mean relation between pointers and OOP.

4. near, far, Huge pointers.

5. Some insight into how the compiler does something....I dont want to know the exact details of compiler working, but there are some concepts I feel can be better understood if i know how compiler does it.

I have already tried Pointers In C by Yashwant Kanetkar and didnt find it very useful.
I am finding that the C++ Programming Language by Bjarne Stroussoup answers some of these questions, but i want a bit more detail, and a dedicated book for this.

I found that a book named "C++ Pointers and Dynamic memory management by Michael C. Daconta " which seems to hold these answers, but i cant find the book anywhere in my city to get it and see if its really worth it (and there's no preview on internet). So please tell me if its a good book for this purpose, so i can order it online.

C++ programming by Even Weaver, not sure where you are but this book might be hard to find, the best for begginers are books from your local community college book store!!

It does not appear that you understand the difference between initialization & assignment.

• An object can have its value changed any number of times through assignment.
• An object can have its value intialized only once when the object is created.

As for a text describing these concepts, I would recommend Stroustrup's Programming: Principles & Practice using C++:

Same book.
Ditto.
Google. ie.

You may not find such a text. Most good compiler textbooks get deep into the details. Such a text is the following:

http://www.amazon.com/Compilers-Prin...6594454&sr=1-1
The C++ Programming Language is perhaps the best text available.

The problem is that you are wanting it two (contradictory) ways -- a text which is thorough but not too deep. By definition, anything that is not too deep will not be thorough. Part of becoming a good & productive programmer is delving into the details to find your own answers. Yes, it takes time & sometimes time that we don't have, but sometimes the answer is not clear until we have an overview of the entire landscape -- a broad understanding which doesn't come until sufficient time has been spent contemplating the full picture.
