What is the full reference for c++ and directx with last version?
What exactly are you getting at by reference? The specifications / documentation? They are maybe not the easiest thing to use.
The current version of C++ is ISO/IEC 14882:2017 , C++20 is not yet finished. Drafts are freely available. Sites like cppreference.com provide a much more readable form.
DirectX is actually many components, and frequently they are not updated together. Often people really mean βDirect3Dβ. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/directx which has the individual guides and API references for current components (which come as part of the Windows SDK these days).

For DirectX it would beβ¦
3D Math Primer for Graphics and Game Development 2nd
There was issues with print quality of hard copies. This might be resolved.

Some of the books you have listed mostly cover RH coordinate systems. Not really ideal for learning DirectX to say the least.

Whyever not? Direct3D doesn't define a specific co-ordinate system handedness, and it's math libraries include both -LH and -RH variants of all functions where this matters. Have done since version 9 in 2002 and even version 8, back in 2000 or so, if not even earlier. That's at least 20 years, so I'm not sure what particular difficulty people have with updating their information on this.

Let's just make up a coordinate system then. X is down, Y is out of the screen, Z is left and rotations are in the opposite direction. Lets write our own projection matrix before we even learn what a projection matrix is.
DirectX is LH in most instructional material. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

I see this opinion a lot, but the clip space in DirectX is definitely left handed. Apart from that, of course you can use any math library and convert to left handed in projection matrix.
