For my bachelor thesis, I have to reference a lot to the various C++ standard documents, be it the original standard or some of the working drafts.
How do I cite such documents? Many of the working drafts don't even contain a title page to extract information from.
Working drafts are available at https://isocpp.org/std/the-standard
Answer
I would cite the current version of C++ standard, based on the APA Style (6th edition), in particular, based on the APA guidelines for citing electronic sources (Web publications), as follows:
ISO/IEC. (2014). ISO International Standard ISO/IEC 14882:2014(E) – Programming Language C++. [Working draft]. Geneva, Switzerland: International Organization for Standardization (ISO). Retrieved from https://isocpp.org/std/the-standard
NOTE: When the current standard will be finalized and published, the citation will have to be updated accordingly by removing "[Working draft.]" phrase and updating the year (i.e., 2015).
