</p><p>There are other classes in libg++ that are not specified in the

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This project is no longer maintained or supported, and the sources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

Portability notes and known implementation limitations are as follows.

2012-03-27 23:13:14 +00:00
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>).

2012-03-27 23:13:14 +00:00
</h4></div></div></div><p>
Glibc 2.0.x and 2.1.x define <code class="filename">&lt;ctype.h&gt;</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 &lt;cctype&gt;
int main() { std::isspace('X'); }
</pre><p>
Results in something like this:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
std:: (__ctype_b[(int) ( ( 'X' ) )] &amp; (unsigned short int) _ISspace ) ;
</pre><p>
A solution is to modify a header-file so that the compiler tells
<code class="filename">&lt;ctype.h&gt;</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">&lt;ctype.h&gt;</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">&lt;ctype.h&gt;</code>. This will
result in ambiguities between the definitions in the global namespace
(<code class="filename">&lt;ctype.h&gt;</code>) and the
definitions in namespace <code class="code">std::</code>
(<code class="code">&lt;cctype&gt;</code>).

2012-03-27 23:13:14 +00:00
One solution is to add an autoconf-test for this:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
AC_MSG_CHECKING(for container::at)
AC_TRY_COMPILE(
[
#include &lt;vector&gt;
#include &lt;deque&gt;
#include &lt;string&gt;

],
[
deque&lt;int&gt; test_deque(3);
test_deque.at(2);
vector&lt;int&gt; 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.

2012-03-27 23:13:14 +00:00
Use some kind of autoconf test, plus this:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
#ifdef HAVE_CHAR_TRAITS
#define CPP_EOF std::char_traits&lt;char&gt;::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>
2012-03-27 23:13:14 +00:00
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-&gt;size(), 0); }
</pre><pre class="programlisting">
basic_string&amp;
erase(size_type __pos = 0, size_type __n = npos)
{
return this-&gt;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>).

2012-03-27 23:13:14 +00:00
Although the ISO standard <code class="code">i/ostringstream</code>-classes are
provided, (<code class="filename">&lt;sstream&gt;</code>), for
compatibility with older implementations the pre-ISO
<code class="code">i/ostrstream</code> (<code class="filename">&lt;strstream&gt;</code>) interface is also provided,
with these caveats:
2014-09-21 17:33:12 +00:00
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"><p>
2012-03-27 23:13:14 +00:00
<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>
with <code class="code">ostringstream</code> you don't have to take care of
terminating the string or freeing its memory
</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 &lt;sstream&gt;
#else
# include &lt;strstream&gt;
#endif
#ifdef HAVE_SSTREAM
std::ostringstream oss;
#else
std::ostrstream oss;
#endif
2015-08-28 15:33:40 +00:00
oss &lt;&lt; "Name=" &lt;&lt; m_name &lt;&lt; ", number=" &lt;&lt; m_number &lt;&lt; std::endl;
2012-03-27 23:13:14 +00:00
...
#ifndef HAVE_SSTREAM
oss &lt;&lt; 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 &gt;&gt; i;
</pre><p> One (the only?) restriction is that an istrstream cannot be re-filled:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
std::istringstream iss(numerator);
iss &gt;&gt; m_num;
// this is not possible with istrstream
iss.clear();
iss.str(denominator);
iss &gt;&gt; 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 &lt;class X&gt;
void fromString(const string&amp; input, X&amp; any)
{
#ifdef HAVE_SSTREAM
std::istringstream iss(input);
#else
std::istrstream iss(input.c_str());
#endif
X temp;
iss &gt;&gt; temp;
if (iss.fail())
throw runtime_error(..)
any = temp;
}
</pre><p>
Another example of using stringstreams is in <a class="link" href="strings.html#strings.string.shrink" title="Shrink to Fit">this howto</a>.
</p><p> There is additional information in the libstdc++-v2 info files, in
particular <span class="quote"><span class="quote">info iostream</span></span>.

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
2014-09-21 17:33:12 +00:00
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
2012-03-27 23:13:14 +00:00
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.

2012-03-27 23:13:14 +00:00
replaced by standardized libraries.
In particular, the <code class="classname">unordered_map</code> and
<code class="classname">unordered_set</code> containers of TR1 and C++ 2011
are suitable replacements for the non-standard
<code class="classname">hash_map</code> and <code class="classname">hash_set</code>
containers in the SGI STL.
</p><p> Header files <code class="filename">&lt;hash_map&gt;</code> and <code class="filename">&lt;hash_set&gt;</code> moved
to <code class="filename">&lt;ext/hash_map&gt;</code> and <code class="filename">&lt;ext/hash_set&gt;</code>,
respectively. At the same time, all types in these files are enclosed
in <code class="code">namespace __gnu_cxx</code>. Later versions deprecate
these files, and suggest using TR1's <code class="filename">&lt;unordered_map&gt;</code>
and <code class="filename">&lt;unordered_set&gt;</code> instead.
</p><p>The extensions are no longer in the global or <code class="code">std</code>
namespaces, instead they are declared in the <code class="code">__gnu_cxx</code>
namespace. For maximum portability, consider defining a namespace
alias to use to talk about extensions, e.g.:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
#ifdef __GNUC__
#if __GNUC__ &lt; 3
#include &lt;hash_map.h&gt;
namespace extension { using ::hash_map; }; // inherit globals
#else
#include &lt;backward/hash_map&gt;
#if __GNUC__ == 3 &amp;&amp; __GNUC_MINOR__ == 0
namespace extension = std; // GCC 3.0
#else
namespace extension = ::__gnu_cxx; // GCC 3.1 and later
#endif
#endif
#else // ... there are other compilers, right?
namespace extension = std;
#endif
extension::hash_map&lt;int,int&gt; my_map;

</h4></div></div></div><p>Historically these flags were used with iostreams to control whether
new files are created or not when opening a file stream, similar to the
<code class="code">O_CREAT</code> and <code class="code">O_EXCL</code> flags for the
<code class="function">open(2)</code> system call. Because iostream modes correspond
to <code class="function">fopen(3)</code> modes these flags are not supported.
For input streams a new file will not be created anyway, so
<code class="code">ios::nocreate</code> is not needed.
For output streams, a new file will be created if it does not exist, which is
consistent with the behaviour of <code class="function">fopen</code>.
</p><p>When one of these flags is needed a possible alternative is to attempt
to open the file using <span class="type">std::ifstream</span> first to determine whether
the file already exists or not. This may not be reliable however, because
whether the file exists or not could change between opening the
<span class="type">std::istream</span> and re-opening with an output stream. If you need
to check for existence and open a file as a single operation then you will
need to use OS-specific facilities outside the C++ standard library, such
as <code class="function">open(2)</code>.

Phil Edwards writes: It was considered and rejected for the ISO
standard. Not all environments use file descriptors. Of those
that do, not all of them use integers to represent them.
</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&lt;..&gt;</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.

2012-03-27 23:13:14 +00:00
This class can be constructed from a C <code class="code">FILE*</code> or a file
descriptor, and provides the <code class="code">fd()</code> function.

releases which pre-date the 2011 standard. Those C++11 features and GCC's
support for them were still changing until the 2011 standard was finished,
but the autoconf checks above could be extended to test for incomplete
C++11 support with <code class="option">-std=c++0x</code> and
<code class="option">-std=gnu++0x</code>.

This is a change in behavior from older versions. Now, most
<span class="type">iterator_type</span> typedefs in container classes are POD
objects, not <span class="type">value_type</span> pointers.
