I am planning on purchasing this book to learn more about C++ programming with regards to fast code. However, the book was published in 1999 and I am worried most of it may be irrelevant now due to optimizations that compilers perform.
Could anyone please advise?
edit:
Found this book too, albeit also rather old:
