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>
+</p><p>
The STL portions of this library are based on SGI/HP STL release 3.11.

This project is no longer maintained or supported, and the sources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

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>
+ </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
probably applies to some other compilers as well.
</p><p>
Second, experiment with a variety of pre-processor tricks.
- </p><p>
+ </p><p>
By defining <code class="code">std</code> as a macro, fully-qualified namespace
calls become global. Volia.
</p><pre class="programlisting">
</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>” or “<span class="quote">std</span>” based on a compile-type
+ <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>

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'); }
+ </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>
+</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.
+// This keeps isalnum, et al from being propagated as macros.
#if __linux__
# define __NO_CTYPE 1
#endif
(<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)
#include <vector>
#include <deque>
#include <string>
-
+

[

+string test_string(<span class="quote">“<span class="quote">test_string</span>”</span>);
test_string.at(3);
],
[AC_MSG_RESULT(yes)
</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.

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
+void
clear() { _M_mutate(0, this->size(), 0); }

+{
return this->replace(_M_check(__pos), _M_fold(__pos, __n),
- _M_data(), _M_data());
+ _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>).

configuration of the threading model was dictated by compiler
