NAME

6       C++Intro - Introduction to the GNU libstdc++ man pages
7

DESCRIPTION

9       This  man page serves as a brief introduction to the GNU implementation
10       of the Standard C++ Library.  For a better introduction and  more  com‐
11       plete documentation, see the libstdc++ homepage listed at the end.
12
13       All  standard  library  entities  are declared within namespace std and
14       have manual entries beginning with "std::".  For example, to see  docu‐
15       mentation  of  the  template  class  std::vector  one  would  use  "man
16       std::vector".  Some entities do not have a separate man page; for those
17       see the main listing in "man Namespace_std".
18
19       All  the  man  pages  are automatically generated by Doxygen.  For more
20       information on this tool, see the HTML counterpart to these man pages.
21
22       Some man pages do not correspond to individual  classes  or  functions.
23       Rather  they  describe categories of the Standard Library.  (For a more
24       thorough introduction to the various categories, consult a text such as
25       Josuttis' or Austern's.)  These category pages are:
26
27       C++Intro              This page.
28       Namespace_std         A listing of the contents of std::.
29       Namespace___gnu_cxx   A listing of the contents of __gnu_cxx::.
30       Containers            An introduction to container classes.
31       Sequences             Linear containers.
32       Assoc_containers      Key-based containers.
33       Iterator_types        Programatically distinguishing iterators/pointers.
34       Intro_functors        An introduction to function objects, or functors.
35       Arithmetic_functors   Functors for basic math.
36       Binder_functors       Functors which "remember" an argument.
37       Comparison_functors   Functors wrapping built-in comparisons.
38       Func_ptr_functors     Functors for use with pointers to functions.
39       Logical_functors      Functors wrapping the Boolean operations.
40       Member_ptr_functor    Functors for use with pointers to members.
41       Negation_functors     Functors which negate their contents.
42       SGIextensions         A list of the extensions from the SGI STL subset.

45       The HTML documentation typically goes into much more depth.

50   Standard Headers
51       These headers will be found automatically, unless you instruct the com‐
52       piler otherwise.

67   Backwards-Compatibility Headers
68       For GCC 3.0 these headers  will  be  found  automatically,  unless  you
69       instruct  the  compiler  otherwise.   You  should  not  depend on this,
70       instead you should read FAQ 5.4 and use a backward/ prefix.
71
72       <strstream>
73
74   Extension Headers
75       These headers will only be found automatically if you include the lead‐
76       ing ext/ in the name.  Otherwise you need to read FAQ 5.4.

87   Libraries
88       libstdc++.a
89              The  library  implementation in static archive form.  If you did
90              not configure libstdc++  to  use  shared  libraries,  this  will
91              always  be  used.   Otherwise  it  will only be used if the user
92              requests it.
93
94       libsupc++.a
95              This library contains C++ language  support  routines.   Usually
96              you will never need to know about it, but it can be useful.  See
97              FAQ 2.5.
98
99       libstdc++.so[.N]
100              The library implementation in shared object form.  This will  be
101              used  in  preference  to  the static archive form by default.  N
102              will be a number equal to or greater than 3.  If N is in the 2.x
103              series,  then  you  are looking at the old libstdc++-v2 library,
104              which we do not maintain.
105
106       libstdc++.la
107
108       libsupc++.la
109              These are Libtool library files, and should only  be  used  when
110              working with that tool.
