| 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

 | ||
|   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|   This project is no longer maintained or supported, and the sources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>).

 | ||
|     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>
 | ||

 | ||
| </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

 | ||
| </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

 | ||
|   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">

|   Unfortunately, <code class="code">clear</code> is not implemented in this

 | ||
|   Although the ISO standard <code class="code">i/ostringstream</code>-classes are

| #endif
 | ||
| </pre><p>
 | ||
|       Input-stringstreams can be used similarly:

| #ifdef HAVE_SSTREAM

| #endif
 | ||
|

| int i;
 | ||
| iss >> i;
 | ||
| </pre><p> One (the only?) restriction is that an istrstream cannot be re-filled:
 | ||
| </p><pre class="programlisting">

| </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>

 | ||
|     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.
