New:
- namespace std:: is now on by default.
- choice of "C" include strategies, including the shadow header work,
or generic global to std mapping of required "C" types.
- cpu/atomicity.h tweaks, additions of ia64 and arm support.
- abstraction of atomicity.h header to support notion of os/atomicity.h files.
- addition of backward header bits
- use of system_header pragma
- Conditional use of -Werror
- preliminary support for new g++ diagnostics capabilities, including
-fdiagnostics-show-location=once
- pedantic and shadow argument warning fixes
- Ugly, yet correct mechanism for dealing with "C" math adopted,
including the use of builtins.
- updates and configure/build work to support new libtool
- addition of strstream
- valarray work
- complex work
- update to SGI STL 3.3
- libio sync between glibc/libstdc++-v3. Some divergence since initial
merge, but sources remain quite close.
- IO fixes for alpha
- wide character work for IO when using libio
- addition of c_io_stdio and "C" IO abstraction layer.
- auto_ptr fixes, testsuite additions
- Attempts to use -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections and
--gc-sections, depending on use of GNU ld and specific features. As of
late, --gc-sections has been disabled due to problems with it throwing
away initialization sections. This work is ongoing.
- long double support
- sub directory removal, coherent organization of cpu and os-specific
files, consolidation of include directories, integration of the C++
support bits for operator new/delete,exceptions, etc. All includes
are now either in the include/* hierarchy or in libsupc++'s sub directory.
- Support for more platforms, including irix and bsd variants.
- filebuf tweaks to deal with variable-size buffers.
- filebuf implementation for putbackc, etc. al.
- ctype rewritten. Includes ctype<char>, ctype<wchar_t>, and others.
- codecvt rewritten. Includes codecvt<char, char, mbstate_t>,
codecvt<wchar_t, char, mbstate_t>. In addition,
implementation-defined conversions using iconv are now supported with
the __enc_traits partial-specialization of the State template
parameter of the codecvt class. In this manner, conversions between
encodings such as UCS4, USC2, UNICODE, UNICODEBIG, UNICODELITTLE, etc
can be performed.
- preliminary work on named locales
- preliminary documentation for locale implementation has been established.
- Many, many bug fixes.
- Many, many testsuite additions and consistent VERIFY usage.
- work on mkcheck to make it more flexible, use libtool, etc.
New:
---
- preliminary doxygen documentation has been added. Running &quot;make
doxygen&quot; in the libstdc++-v3 build directory will generate HTML
documentation that can be used to cross-reference names and files in
the library.
- a dejagnu based testing framework has been added
- a new implementation of the concept checking code has been ported
from the boost libraries.
- support for -fno-exceptions has been added
- stdexcept was re-written
- using deprecated or antiquated headers now gives a warning
- the stdio interface to iostreams has been tweaked, and now works
with synchronized c/c++ io
- new libsupc++ routines implementing the IA-64 C++ ABI.
- HPUX configuration files
- support for AIX added
- a lot of bugs were fixed.
- preliminary named locales implemented
- portability improvements made to generation of &lt;limits&gt;
- speedups to improve configuration time.
- DJGPP support added.
- support for dlopening shared libstdc++
