I use Osborne's C/C++ Programmer's Reference--second edition (Herbert Schildt). It got me through Data Structures in C++ (at a time when I didn't really know C++ well at all). It is good because it covers the ANSI/ISO C99 standard and so forth. ISBN#:0-07-212706-6 (that last digit may vary due to the version and format of the book).
I have also used the old standard of the K&R book, but primarily for teaching students entirely new to programming (the ones whom have trouble writing a recipe for a PB&J sandwich in particular) while at SU.
