Or as close as it gets: freestanding. This is a minimal
configuration, with only partial support for the standard
library. Assume only the following header files can be used:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem"><p>
<code class="filename">cstdarg</code>
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
<code class="filename">cstddef</code>
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
<code class="filename">cstdlib</code>
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
<code class="filename">exception</code>
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
<code class="filename">limits</code>
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
<code class="filename">new</code>
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
<code class="filename">exception</code>
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
<code class="filename">typeinfo</code>
</p></li></ul></div><p>
In addition, throw in
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem"><p>
<code class="filename">cxxabi.h</code>.
</p></li></ul></div><p>
In the
C++0x <a class="link" href="using.html#manual.intro.using.flags" title="Command Options">dialect</a> add
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem"><p>
<code class="filename">initializer_list</code>
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
<code class="filename">type_traits</code>
</p></li></ul></div><p> There exists a library that offers runtime support for
just these headers, and it is called
<code class="filename">libsupc++.a</code>. To use it, compile with <span class="command"><strong>gcc</strong></span> instead of <span class="command"><strong>g++</strong></span>, like so:
</p><p>
<span class="command"><strong>gcc foo.cc -lsupc++</strong></span>
</p><p>
No attempt is made to verify that only the minimal subset
identified above is actually used at compile time. Violations
are diagnosed as undefined symbols at link time.
</p></div><div class="sect2" title="Finding Dynamic or Shared Libraries"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="manual.intro.using.linkage.dynamic"></a>Finding Dynamic or Shared Libraries</h3></div></div></div><p>
If the only library built is the static library
(<code class="filename">libstdc++.a</code>), or if
specifying static linking, this section is can be skipped. But
if building or using a shared library
(<code class="filename">libstdc++.so</code>), then
additional location information will need to be provided.
</p><p>
But how?
</p><p>
A quick read of the relevant part of the GCC
manual, <a class="ulink" href="http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Invoking-G_002b_002b.html#Invoking-G_002b_002b" target="_top">Compiling
C++ Programs</a>, specifies linking against a C++
library. More details from the
GCC <a class="ulink" href="http://gcc.gnu.org/faq.html#rpath" target="_top">FAQ</a>,
which states <span class="emphasis"><em>GCC does not, by default, specify a
location so that the dynamic linker can find dynamic libraries at
runtime.</em></span>
</p><p>
Users will have to provide this information.
</p><p>
Methods vary for different platforms and different styles, and
are printed to the screen during installation. To summarize:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem"><p>
At runtime set <code class="literal">LD_LIBRARY_PATH</code> in your
environment correctly, so that the shared library for
libstdc++ can be found and loaded. Be certain that you
understand all of the other implications and behavior
of <code class="literal">LD_LIBRARY_PATH</code> first.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
Compile the path to find the library at runtime into the
program. This can be done by passing certain options to
<span class="command"><strong>g++</strong></span>, which will in turn pass them on to
the linker. The exact format of the options is dependent on
which linker you use:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="circle"><li class="listitem"><p>
GNU ld (default on Linux):<code class="literal">-Wl,--rpath,<code class="filename">destdir</code>/lib</code>
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
IRIX ld:<code class="literal">
-Wl,-rpath,<code class="filename">destdir</code>/lib</code>
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
Solaris ld:<code class="literal">-Wl,-R<code class="filename">destdir</code>/lib</code>
</p></li></ul></div></li></ul></div><p>
Use the <span class="command"><strong>ldd</strong></span> utility on the linked executable
to show
which <code class="filename">libstdc++.so</code>
library the system will get at runtime.
</p><p>
A <code class="filename">libstdc++.la</code> file is
also installed, for use with Libtool. If you use Libtool to
create your executables, these details are taken care of for
you.
