<h1>libstdc++-v3 Source Documentation</h1>
<p>This file is docs/doxygen/guide.html in the libstdc++-v3 source tree. It
is not included in the generated pages (no real point to doing that).

<a name="creating"><h2>Creating the pages</h2></a>
<p>The Makefile rules <code>'make doxygen'</code>,
<code>'make doxygen-maint'</code>, and <code>'make doxygen-man'</code>
in the libstdc++-v3 build directory generate the user-level HTML docs, the
maintainer-level HTML docs, and the man pages, respectively. Prerequisite
tools are
<a href="http://www.doxygen.org/">
<!-- snagged from the generated page -->
<img src="doxygen.png" alt="Doxygen" align=center border=0 width=110 height=53>
</a>, a working version of <code>g++</code> somewhere in the PATH, and
the <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/">GNU coreutils</a>.
(g++ is used to build a program which manipulates man pages. GNU versions
of find, xargs, and possibly sed and grep are used, just because the GNU
versions make things very easy.)
</p>
<p>Careful observers will see that the Makefile rules simply call a script
from the source tree, <code>run_doxygen</code>, which does the actual work
of running Doxygen and then (most importantly) massaging the output files.
If for some reason you prefer to not go through the Makefile, you can call
this script directly. (Start by passing <code>'--help'</code>.)
</p>
<p>If you wish to tweak the Doxygen settings, do so by editing
<code>docs/doxygen/user.cfg.in</code>. Notes to v3-hackers are written in
triple-# comments.
</p>
<a name="writing"><h2>Writing the markup</h2></a>
<p>In general, libstdc++-v3 files should be formatted according to the GNU
C++ Coding Standard rules found in the file
<a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/17_intro/C++STYLE">C++STYLE</a>.
Before any doxygen-specific formatting tweaks are made, please try to make
sure that the initial formatting is sound.
</p>
<p>Adding Doxygen markup to a file (informally called "doxygenating") is very
simple. The Doxygen manual can be found
<a href="http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/download.html#latestman">here</a>.
We try to use a very-recent version of Doxygen.
</p>
<h3>Doxygen style guide</h3>
<p>[incomplete and constantly evolving]</p>
<p>For classes, use deque/vector/list and std::pair as examples. For
functions, see their memeber functions, and the free functions in
<code>stl_algobase.h</code>. Member functions of other container-like
types should read similarly to these member functions.
</p>
<p>These points accompany the first list in section 3.1 of the Doxygen manual:
</p>
<ol>
<li>Use the Javadoc style...</li>
<li>...not the Qt style. The intermediate *'s are preferred.</li>
<li>Use the triple-slash style only for one-line comments (the "brief" mode).
Very recent versions of Doxygen permit full-mode comments in triple-slash
blocks, but the formatting still comes out wonky.</li>
<li>This is disgusting. Don't do this.</li>
</ol>
<p>Use the @-style of commands, not the !-style. Please be careful about
whitespace in your markup comments. Most of the time it doesn't matter;
doxygen absorbs most whitespace, and both HTML and *roff are agnostic about
whitespace. However, in &lt;pre&gt; blocks and @code/@endcode sections,
spacing can have "interesting" effects.
</p>
<p>Use either kind of grouping, as appropriate. <code>doxygroups.cc</code>
exists for this purpose. See <code>stl_iterator.h</code> for a good
example of the "other" kind of grouping.
</p>
<p>Please use markup tags like @p and @a when referring to things such as the
names of function parameters. Use @e for emphasis when necessary. Use @c
to refer to other standard names. (Examples of all these abound in the
present code.)

<h2> Generating this file </h2>
<p>These HTML pages are automatically generated, along with the man pages.
The Makefile rules <code> 'make doxygen' </code> and
<code> 'make doxygen-maint' </code> in the libstdc++-v3 build directory
generates these pages using a tool called, appropriately enough, Doxygen.
To learn more about Doxygen, take a look at
