|
|
-------------
|
| 5 |
|
|
The Standard C++ Library, or libstdc++-v3, is an ongoing project
|

|
to fully implement the ISO 14882 Standard C++ library as described in
|
| 7 |
|
|
chapters 17 through 27 and annex D.
|
| 8 |
|
|
|
| 9 |
|
|
This is the fifteenth snapshot of the libstdc++ rewrite. It still
|
| 10 |
|
|
has some incomplet and incorrekt parts, but it's a lot less incomplete
|
| 11 |
|
|
and incorrect than some of the earlier snapshots, and quite usable.
|
| 12 |
|
|
|
| 13 |
|
|
The Standard C++ Library, follows an open development model,
|
| 14 |
|
|
attempting to be fully buzzword, bazaar, and GNU compliant. Full

Development tools:
|
| 72 |
|
|
------------------
|
| 73 |
|
|
|
| 74 |
|
|
You will need a current version of gcc to compile this snapshot of
|
| 75 |
|
|
libstdc++. The use of the latest stable gcc-3.0.x release (3.0.4), CVS
|
| 76 |
|
|
gcc, or gcc-3_1-branch is strongly recommended, which may also
|
| 77 |
|
|
introduce additional dependencies for up-to-date binutils. In
|
| 78 |
|
|
particular, current binutils (2.12) is recommended so that symbol
|
| 79 |
|
|
versioning for the library is on by default. In addition, you may need
|
| 80 |
|
|
up-to-date tools for modifying Makefiles and regenerating configure
|
| 81 |
|
|
scripts: automake (version 1.4), autoconf (version 2.13 and higher),
|
| 82 |
|
|
and libtool.
