While we can't reproduce the contents of the Standard here (you
|
|||
|
|
need to get your own copy from your nation's member body; see our
|
|||
|
|
homepage for help), we can mention a couple of changes in what
|
|||
|
|
kind of support a C++ program gets from the Standard Library.

These fundamental types are always available, without having to
|
|||
|
|
include a header file. These types are exactly the same in
|
|||
|
|
either C++ or in C.
|
|||
|
|
</p><p>
|
|||
|
|
Specializing parts of the library on these types is prohibited:
|
|||
|
|
instead, use a POD.

The header <code class="filename">limits</code> defines
|

|

traits classes to give access to various implementation

defined-aspects of the fundamental types. The traits classes --
|

|
|
fourteen in total -- are all specializations of the template class
|

The only change that might affect people is the type of
|
|||
|
|
<code class="constant">NULL</code>: while it is required to be a macro,
|
|||
|
|
the definition of that macro is <span class="emphasis"><em>not</em></span> allowed
|
|||
|
|
to be <code class="constant">(void*)0</code>, which is often used in C.
|
|||
|
|
</p><p>
|
|||
|
|
For <span class="command"><strong>g++</strong></span>, <code class="constant">NULL</code> is
|
|||
|
|
<code class="code">#define</code>'d to be
|
|||
|
|
<code class="constant">__null</code>, a magic keyword extension of
|
|||
|
|
<span class="command"><strong>g++</strong></span>.
|
|||
|
|
</p><p>
|
|||
|
|
The biggest problem of #defining <code class="constant">NULL</code> to be
|
|||
|
|
something like <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">0L</span>”</span> is that the compiler will view
|
|||
|
|
that as a long integer before it views it as a pointer, so
|
|||
|
|
overloading won't do what you expect. (This is why
|
|||
|
|
<span class="command"><strong>g++</strong></span> has a magic extension, so that
|
|||
|
|
<code class="constant">NULL</code> is always a pointer.)
|
|||
|
|
</p><p>In his book <a class="link" href="http://www.awprofessional.com/titles/0-201-92488-9/"><span class="emphasis"><em>Effective
|
|||
|
|
C++</em></span></a>, Scott Meyers points out that the best way
|
|||
|
|
to solve this problem is to not overload on pointer-vs-integer
|
|||
|
|
types to begin with. He also offers a way to make your own magic
|
|||
|
|
<code class="constant">NULL</code> that will match pointers before it
|
|||
|
|
matches integers.
