separate GNU project, although reliably paired with GCC. Rumors imply

dinosaur.
|

</p><p>Some background: libg++ was designed and created when there was no

ISO standard to provide guidance. Classes like linked lists are now
|

provided for by <code class="classname">list<T></code> and do not need to be
|

created by <code class="function">genclass</code>. (For that matter, templates exist
|
||
now and are well-supported, whereas genclass (mostly) predates them.)
|
||
</p><p>There are other classes in libg++ that are not specified in the
|
||
ISO Standard (e.g., statistical analysis). While there are a lot of
|
||
really useful things that are used by a lot of people, the Standards
|
||
Committee couldn't include everything, and so a lot of those

<span class="quote">“<span class="quote">obvious</span>”</span> classes didn't get included.

The second generation GNU C++ library was called libstdc++, or
|
||
libstdc++-v2. It spans the time between libg++ and pre-ISO C++
|
||
standardization and is usually associated with the following GCC
|
||
releases: egcs 1.x, gcc 2.95, and gcc 2.96.
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
The STL portions of this library are based on SGI/HP STL release 3.11.
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
This project is no longer maintained or supported, and the sources
|
||
archived. The code is considered replaced and rewritten.
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
Portability notes and known implementation limitations are as follows.
|

</p><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a id="backwards.second.std"></a>Namespace <code class="code">std::</code> not supported</h4></div></div></div><p>
|
||
Some care is required to support C++ compiler and or library
|
||
implementation that do not have the standard library in
|
||
<code class="code">namespace std</code>.
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
The following sections list some possible solutions to support compilers
|
||
that cannot ignore <code class="code">std::</code>-qualified names.
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
First, see if the compiler has a flag for this. Namespace
|
||
back-portability-issues are generally not a problem for g++
|
||
compilers that do not have libstdc++ in <code class="code">std::</code>, as the
|
||
compilers use <code class="option">-fno-honor-std</code> (ignore
|
||
<code class="code">std::</code>, <code class="code">:: = std::</code>) by default. That is,
|
||
the responsibility for enabling or disabling <code class="code">std::</code> is
|
||
on the user; the maintainer does not have to care about it. This
|
||
probably applies to some other compilers as well.
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
Second, experiment with a variety of pre-processor tricks.
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
By defining <code class="code">std</code> as a macro, fully-qualified namespace
|
||
calls become global. Volia.
|
||
</p><pre class="programlisting">
|
||
#ifdef WICKEDLY_OLD_COMPILER
|
||
# define std
|
||
#endif
|
||
</pre><p>
|
||
Thanks to Juergen Heinzl who posted this solution on gnu.gcc.help.
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
Another pre-processor based approach is to define a macro
|
||
<code class="code">NAMESPACE_STD</code>, which is defined to either
|
||
<span class="quote">“<span class="quote"> </span>”</span> or <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">std</span>”</span> based on a compile-type
|
||
test. On GNU systems, this can be done with autotools by means of
|
||
an autoconf test (see below) for <code class="code">HAVE_NAMESPACE_STD</code>,
|
||
then using that to set a value for the <code class="code">NAMESPACE_STD</code>
|
||
macro. At that point, one is able to use
|
||
<code class="code">NAMESPACE_STD::string</code>, which will evaluate to
|
||
<code class="code">std::string</code> or <code class="code">::string</code> (i.e., in the
|
||
global namespace on systems that do not put <code class="code">string</code> in
|
||
<code class="code">std::</code>).

The following illustrate implementation-allowed illegal iterator

</h4></div></div></div><p>
|
||
Glibc 2.0.x and 2.1.x define <code class="filename"><ctype.h></code> functionality as macros
|
||
(isspace, isalpha etc.).
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
This implementations of libstdc++, however, keep these functions
|
||
as macros, and so it is not back-portable to use fully qualified
|
||
names. For example:
|
||
</p><pre class="programlisting">
|
||
#include <cctype>
|
||
int main() { std::isspace('X'); }
|
||
</pre><p>
|
||
Results in something like this:
|
||
</p><pre class="programlisting">
|
||
std:: (__ctype_b[(int) ( ( 'X' ) )] & (unsigned short int) _ISspace ) ;
|
||
</pre><p>
|
||
A solution is to modify a header-file so that the compiler tells
|
||
<code class="filename"><ctype.h></code> to define functions
|
||
instead of macros:
|
||
</p><pre class="programlisting">
|
||
// This keeps isalnum, et al from being propagated as macros.
|
||
#if __linux__
|
||
# define __NO_CTYPE 1
|
||
#endif
|
||
</pre><p>
|
||
Then, include <code class="filename"><ctype.h></code>
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
Another problem arises if you put a <code class="code">using namespace
|
||
std;</code> declaration at the top, and include
|
||
<code class="filename"><ctype.h></code>. This will
|
||
result in ambiguities between the definitions in the global namespace
|
||
(<code class="filename"><ctype.h></code>) and the
|
||
definitions in namespace <code class="code">std::</code>
|
||
(<code class="code"><cctype></code>).

|
||
One solution is to add an autoconf-test for this:
|
||
</p><pre class="programlisting">
|
||
AC_MSG_CHECKING(for container::at)
|
||
AC_TRY_COMPILE(
|

#include <string>

],
|
||
[
|
||
deque<int> test_deque(3);
|
||
test_deque.at(2);
|
||
vector<int> test_vector(2);
|
||
test_vector.at(1);
|

string test_string(<span class="quote">“<span class="quote">test_string</span>”</span>);
|
||
test_string.at(3);
|
||
],
|
||
[AC_MSG_RESULT(yes)
|
||
AC_DEFINE(HAVE_CONTAINER_AT)],
|
||
[AC_MSG_RESULT(no)])
|
||
</pre><p>
|
||
If you are using other (non-GNU) compilers it might be a good idea
|
||
to check for <code class="code">string::at</code> separately.
|
||
</p></div><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a id="backwards.second.eof"></a>No <code class="code">std::char_traits<char>::eof</code></h4></div></div></div><p>
|
||
Use some kind of autoconf test, plus this:
|
||
</p><pre class="programlisting">
|
||
#ifdef HAVE_CHAR_TRAITS
|
||
#define CPP_EOF std::char_traits<char>::eof()
|
||
#else
|
||
#define CPP_EOF EOF
|
||
#endif
|
||
</pre></div><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a id="backwards.second.stringclear"></a>No <code class="code">string::clear</code></h4></div></div></div><p>
|
||
There are two functions for deleting the contents of a string:
|
||
<code class="code">clear</code> and <code class="code">erase</code> (the latter returns the
|
||
string).
|
||
</p><pre class="programlisting">
|
||
void
|
||
clear() { _M_mutate(0, this->size(), 0); }
|
||
</pre><pre class="programlisting">
|
||
basic_string&
|
||
erase(size_type __pos = 0, size_type __n = npos)
|
||
{
|
||
return this->replace(_M_check(__pos), _M_fold(__pos, __n),
|
||
_M_data(), _M_data());
|
||
}
|
||
</pre><p>
|
||
Unfortunately, <code class="code">clear</code> is not implemented in this
|
||
version, so you should use <code class="code">erase</code> (which is probably
|
||
faster than <code class="code">operator=(charT*)</code>).
|
||
</p></div><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a id="backwards.second.ostreamform_istreamscan"></a>

|
||
Although the ISO standard <code class="code">i/ostringstream</code>-classes are
|
||
provided, (<code class="filename"><sstream></code>), for
|
||
compatibility with older implementations the pre-ISO
|
||
<code class="code">i/ostrstream</code> (<code class="filename"><strstream></code>) interface is also provided,
|
||
with these caveats:
|
||
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"><p>
|
||
<code class="code">strstream</code> is considered to be deprecated
|

</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
|
||
<code class="code">strstream</code> is limited to <code class="code">char</code>
|
||
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>

|
||
<code class="code">istringstream</code> can be re-filled (clear();
|

str(input);)
|
||
</p></li></ul></div><p>
|
||
You can then use output-stringstreams like this:
|
||
</p><pre class="programlisting">
|
||
#ifdef HAVE_SSTREAM
|
||
# include <sstream>
|
||
#else
|
||
# include <strstream>
|

|
||
|
||
#ifdef HAVE_SSTREAM
|
||
std::ostringstream oss;
|
||
#else
|
||
std::ostrstream oss;
|
||
#endif
|
||
|
||
oss << "Name=" << m_name << ", number=" << m_number << std::endl;
|
||
...
|
||
#ifndef HAVE_SSTREAM
|
||
oss << std::ends; // terminate the char*-string
|
||
#endif
|
||
|
||
// str() returns char* for ostrstream and a string for ostringstream
|
||
// this also causes ostrstream to think that the buffer's memory
|
||
// is yours
|
||
m_label.set_text(oss.str());
|
||
#ifndef HAVE_SSTREAM
|
||
// let the ostrstream take care of freeing the memory
|
||
oss.freeze(false);
|
||
#endif
|
||
</pre><p>
|
||
Input-stringstreams can be used similarly:
|
||
</p><pre class="programlisting">
|
||
std::string input;
|
||
...
|
||
#ifdef HAVE_SSTREAM
|
||
std::istringstream iss(input);
|
||
#else
|
||
std::istrstream iss(input.c_str());
|
||
#endif
|
||
|
||
int i;
|
||
iss >> i;
|
||
</pre><p> One (the only?) restriction is that an istrstream cannot be re-filled:
|
||
</p><pre class="programlisting">
|
||
std::istringstream iss(numerator);
|
||
iss >> m_num;
|
||
// this is not possible with istrstream
|
||
iss.clear();
|
||
iss.str(denominator);
|
||
iss >> m_den;
|
||
</pre><p>
|
||
If you don't care about speed, you can put these conversions in
|
||
a template-function:
|
||
</p><pre class="programlisting">
|
||
template <class X>
|
||
void fromString(const string& input, X& any)
|
||
{
|
||
#ifdef HAVE_SSTREAM
|
||
std::istringstream iss(input);
|
||
#else
|
||
std::istrstream iss(input.c_str());
|
||
#endif
|
||
X temp;
|
||
iss >> temp;
|
||
if (iss.fail())
|
||
throw runtime_error(..)
|
||
any = temp;
|
||
}
|
||
</pre><p>
|

Earlier GCC releases had a somewhat different approach to
|
||
threading configuration and proper compilation. Before GCC 3.0,
|
||
configuration of the threading model was dictated by compiler
|
||
command-line options and macros (both of which were somewhat
|
||
thread-implementation and port-specific). There were no
|
||
guarantees related to being able to link code compiled with one
|
||
set of options and macro setting with another set.
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
For GCC 3.0, configuration of the threading model used with
|
||
libraries and user-code is performed when GCC is configured and
|
||
built using the --enable-threads and --disable-threads options.
|
||
The ABI is stable for symbol name-mangling and limited functional
|
||
compatibility exists between code compiled under different
|
||
threading models.
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
The libstdc++ library has been designed so that it can be used in
|
||
multithreaded applications (with libstdc++-v2 this was only true
|
||
of the STL parts.) The first problem is finding a
|
||
<span class="emphasis"><em>fast</em></span> method of implementation portable to
|
||
all platforms. Due to historical reasons, some of the library is
|
||
written against per-CPU-architecture spinlocks and other parts
|
||
against the gthr.h abstraction layer which is provided by gcc. A
|
||
minor problem that pops up every so often is different
|
||
interpretations of what "thread-safe" means for a
|
||
library (not a general program). We currently use the <a class="link" href="http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/thread_safety.html" target="_top">same
|
||
definition that SGI</a> uses for their STL subset. However,
|
||
the exception for read-only containers only applies to the STL
|
||
components. This definition is widely-used and something similar
|
||
will be used in the next version of the C++ standard library.
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
Here is a small link farm to threads (no pun) in the mail
|
||
archives that discuss the threading problem. Each link is to the
|
||
first relevant message in the thread; from there you can use
|
||
"Thread Next" to move down the thread. This farm is in
|
||
latest-to-oldest order.

For input streams a new file will not be created anyway, so

Phil Edwards writes: It was considered and rejected for the ISO

</p><p>
|

For a portable solution (among systems which use

file descriptors), you need to implement a subclass of
|
||
<code class="code">std::streambuf</code> (or
|
||
<code class="code">std::basic_streambuf<..></code>) which opens a file

given a descriptor, and then pass an instance of this to the

stream-constructor.

</p><p>
|

An extension is available that implements this.

<code class="filename"><ext/stdio_filebuf.h></code> contains a derived class called

<a class="link" href="http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/latest-doxygen/a00074.html" target="_top"><code class="code">__gnu_cxx::stdio_filebuf</code></a>.

This class can be constructed from a C <code class="code">FILE*</code> or a file

<code class="option">-std=c++0x</code> and <code class="option">-std=gnu++0x</code> for GCC
