The C++ library is linked with libtool. Explaining the full workings of
|
||||
libtool is beyond the scope of this document, but there is one
|
||||
particular bit that should be explained here. The C++ run-time library
|
||||
contains initialization code that needs to be run as the library is
|
||||
loaded. Often, that requires linking in special object files when the
|
||||
C++ library is built as a shared library, or taking other
|
||||
system-specific actions.
|
||||
The C++ library is compiled, archived and linked with libtool.

Explaining the full workings of libtool is beyond the scope of this
|

document, but there are a few, particular bits that are necessary for
|

porting.
|
||||
|
||||
Some parts of the libstdc++-v3 library are compiled with the libtool
|
||||
@code{--tags CXX} option (the C++ definitions for libtool). Therefore,
|
||||
@file{ltcf-cxx.sh} in the top-level directory needs to have the correct
|
||||
logic to compile and archive objects equivalent to the C version of libtool,
|
||||
@file{ltcf-c.sh}. Some libtool targets have definitions for C but not
|
||||
for C++, or C++ definitions which have not been kept up to date.
