The GNU C++ Library is part of GCC and follows the same development model,
|
||
so the general rules for
|
||
<a class="link" href="http://gcc.gnu.org/contribute.html" target="_top">contributing
|
||
to GCC</a> apply. Active
|
||
contributors are assigned maintainership responsibility, and given
|
||
write access to the source repository. First-time contributors
|
||
should follow this procedure:

Get and read the relevant sections of the C++ language
|
||
specification. Copies of the full ISO 14882 standard are
|
||
available on line via the ISO mirror site for committee
|
||
members. Non-members, or those who have not paid for the
|
||
privilege of sitting on the committee and sustained their
|
||
two meeting commitment for voting rights, may get a copy of
|
||
the standard from their respective national standards
|
||
organization. In the USA, this national standards
|
||
organization is
|
||
<a class="link" href="https://www.ansi.org" target="_top">ANSI</a>.
|
||
(And if you've already registered with them you can <a class="link" href="https://webstore.ansi.org/RecordDetail.aspx?sku=ISO%2fIEC+14882%3a2014" target="_top">buy
|
||
the standard on-line</a>.)

Historically, the libstdc++ assignment form added the following
|
||
question:
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
<span class="quote">“<span class="quote">
|
||
Which Belgian comic book character is better, Tintin or Asterix, and
|
||
why?
|
||
</span>”</span>
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
While not strictly necessary, humoring the maintainers and answering
|
||
this question would be appreciated.
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
Please contact
|
||
Paolo Carlini at <code class="email"><<a class="email" href="mailto:paolo.carlini@oracle.com">paolo.carlini@oracle.com</a>></code>
|
||
or
|
||
Jonathan Wakely at <code class="email"><<a class="email" href="mailto:jwakely+assign@redhat.com">jwakely+assign@redhat.com</a>></code>
|
||
if you are confused about the assignment or have general licensing
|
||
questions. When requesting an assignment form from
|
||
<code class="email"><<a class="email" href="mailto:assign@gnu.org">assign@gnu.org</a>></code>, please CC the libstdc++
|
||
maintainers above so that progress can be monitored.

Every patch must have several pieces of information before it can be
|
||
properly evaluated. Ideally (and to ensure the fastest possible
|
||
response from the maintainers) it would have all of these pieces:
|
||
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"><p>
|
||
A description of the bug and how your patch fixes this
|
||
bug. For new features a description of the feature and your
|
||
implementation.
|
||
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
|
||
A ChangeLog entry as plain text; see the various
|
||
ChangeLog files for format and content. If you are
|
||
using emacs as your editor, simply position the insertion
|
||
point at the beginning of your change and hit CX-4a to bring
|
||
up the appropriate ChangeLog entry. See--magic! Similar
|
||
functionality also exists for vi.
|
||
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
|
||
A testsuite submission or sample program that will
|
||
easily and simply show the existing error or test new
|
||
functionality.
|
||
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
|
||
The patch itself. If you are accessing the SVN
|
||
repository use <span class="command"><strong>svn update; svn diff NEW</strong></span>;
|
||
else, use <span class="command"><strong>diff -cp OLD NEW</strong></span> ... If your
|
||
version of diff does not support these options, then get the
|
||
latest version of GNU
|
||
diff. The <a class="link" href="http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/SvnTricks" target="_top">SVN
|
||
Tricks</a> wiki page has information on customising the
|
||
output of <code class="code">svn diff</code>.
|
||
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
|
||
When you have all these pieces, bundle them up in a
|
||
mail message and send it to libstdc++@gcc.gnu.org. All
|
||
patches and related discussion should be sent to the
|
||
libstdc++ mailing list. In common with the rest of GCC,
|
||
patches should also be sent to the gcc-patches mailing list.
