The first text that I ever read that had any connotations of design patterns
was Coplien's programming styles and idioms for C++ (1992). It may not have
been called design patterns but it has the same underlying principle. There
are ways to write effective code in this language. Maybe Coplien's idioms
are more like Beck's implementation patterns but I wouldn't like to argue
that there were no design patterns in use for implementing C++ code.
