advanced c++ book, focus on data storage

[KioKrofov]

I recently have begun working in firmware. There is a small, limited amount of room on each chip, so efficiency is key.

I would classify myself as intermediate programmer in c++, but thus far i have not had to much need for knowing exatcly how things are stored in memory.

I was wondering if anybody knows of an advanced c++ book that will go through and discuss how and where data is actually stored, and how declaring variables in different spots affects this, how links between header and cpp files are stored, etc etc.

Thanks

This question borders two areas: C++ language definition and compiler implementation.

The C++ language leaves a lot of decisions, especially hardware decisions to the compiler. I would suggest also looking for documentation for the specific compiler you plan to use.

Google searches and forums would probably work best here.
