The C++ standard specifies the entire set of header files that
must be available to all hosted implementations. Actually, the
word "files" is a misnomer, since the contents of the
headers don't necessarily have to be in any kind of external
file. The only rule is that when one <code class="code">#include</code>'s a
header, the contents of that header become available, no matter
how.
</p><p>
That said, in practice files are used.
</p><p>
There are two main types of include files: header files related
to a specific version of the ISO C++ standard (called Standard
Headers), and all others (TR1, C++ ABI, and Extensions).
</p><p>
Two dialects of standard headers are supported, corresponding to
the 1998 standard as updated for 2003, and the current 2011 standard.
</p><p>
C++98/03 include files. These are available in the default compilation mode, i.e. <code class="code">-std=c++98</code> or <code class="code">-std=gnu++98</code>.

id="manual.intro.using.headers.mixing"></a>Mixing Headers</h3></div></div></div><p> A few simple rules.
</p><p>First, mixing different dialects of the standard headers is not
possible. It's an all-or-nothing affair. Thus, code like
</p><pre class="programlisting">
#include &lt;array&gt;
#include &lt;functional&gt;
</pre><p>Implies C++11 mode. To use the entities in &lt;array&gt;, the C++11
compilation mode must be used, which implies the C++11 functionality
(and deprecations) in &lt;functional&gt; will be present.
</p><p>Second, the other headers can be included with either dialect of
the standard headers, although features and types specific to C++11
are still only enabled when in C++11 compilation mode. So, to use
rvalue references with <code class="code">__gnu_cxx::vstring</code>, or to use the
debug-mode versions of <code class="code">std::unordered_map</code>, one must use
the <code class="code">std=gnu++11</code> compiler flag. (Or <code class="code">std=c++11</code>, of course.)
</p><p>A special case of the second rule is the mixing of TR1 and C++11
facilities. It is possible (although not especially prudent) to
include both the TR1 version and the C++11 version of header in the
same translation unit:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
#include &lt;tr1/type_traits&gt;
#include &lt;type_traits&gt;
</pre><p> Several parts of C++11 diverge quite substantially from TR1 predecessors.
</p></div><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="manual.intro.using.headers.cheaders"></a>The C Headers and <code class="code">namespace std</code></h3></div></div></div><p>
The standard specifies that if one includes the C-style header
(&lt;math.h&gt; in this case), the symbols will be available
in the global namespace and perhaps in
namespace <code class="code">std::</code> (but this is no longer a firm
requirement.) On the other hand, including the C++-style
header (&lt;cmath&gt;) guarantees that the entities will be
found in namespace std and perhaps in the global namespace.
</p><p>
Usage of C++-style headers is recommended, as then
C-linkage names can be disambiguated by explicit qualification, such
as by <code class="code">std::abort</code>. In addition, the C++-style headers can
use function overloading to provide a simpler interface to certain
families of C-functions. For instance in &lt;cmath&gt;, the
function <code class="code">std::sin</code> has overloads for all the builtin
floating-point types. This means that <code class="code">std::sin</code> can be
used uniformly, instead of a combination
of <code class="code">std::sinf</code>, <code class="code">std::sin</code>,
and <code class="code">std::sinl</code>.
