It was a
separate GNU project, although reliably paired with GCC. Rumors imply
that it had a working relationship with at least two kinds of
dinosaur.
</p><p>Some background: libg++ was designed and created when there was no
ISO standard to provide guidance. Classes like linked lists are now
provided for by <code class="classname">std::list&lt;T&gt;</code> and do not need to be
created by <code class="function">genclass</code>. (For that matter, templates exist
now and are well-supported, whereas genclass (mostly) predates them.)
</p><p>There are other classes in libg++ that are not specified in the
ISO Standard (e.g., statistical analysis). While there are a lot of
really useful things that are used by a lot of people, the Standards
Committee couldn't include everything, and so a lot of those
<span class="quote"><span class="quote">obvious</span></span> classes didn't get included.
</p><p>That project is no longer maintained or supported, and the sources
archived. For the desperate, the
<a class="link" href="https://ftp.gnu.org/old-gnu/libg++/" target="_top">ftp.gnu.org</a>
server still has the libg++ source.
</p></div><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="backwards.second"></a>Second</h3></div></div></div><p>
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>
The STL portions of that library are based on SGI/HP STL release 3.11.
</p><p>
That project is no longer maintained or supported, and the sources
archived. The code was replaced and rewritten for libstdc++-v3.
</p></div><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="backwards.third"></a>Third</h3></div></div></div><p> The third generation GNU C++ library is called libstdc++, or
libstdc++-v3.
</p><p>The subset commonly known as the Standard Template Library
(clauses 23 through 25 in C++98, mostly) is adapted from the final release
of the SGI STL (version 3.3), with extensive changes.
</p><p>A more formal description of the V3 goals can be found in the
official <a class="link" href="source_design_notes.html" title="Design Notes">design document</a>.
</p><p>Portability notes and known implementation limitations are as follows.</p><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a id="backwards.third.headers"></a>Pre-ISO headers removed</h4></div></div></div><p> The pre-ISO C++ headers
(<code class="filename">&lt;iostream.h&gt;</code>,
<code class="filename">&lt;defalloc.h&gt;</code> etc.) are
not supported.
</p><p>For those of you new to ISO C++ (welcome, time travelers!), the
ancient pre-ISO headers have new names.
The C++ FAQ has a good explanation in <a class="link" href="https://isocpp.org/wiki/faq/coding-standards#std-headers" target="_top">What's
the difference between &lt;xxx&gt; and &lt;xxx.h&gt; headers?</a>.
</p><p>Porting between pre-ISO headers and ISO headers is simple: headers
like <code class="filename">&lt;vector.h&gt;</code> can be replaced with <code class="filename">&lt;vector&gt;</code> and a using
directive <code class="code">using namespace std;</code> can be put at the global
scope. This should be enough to get this code compiling, assuming the
other usage is correct.
</p></div><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a id="backwards.third.hash"></a>Extension headers hash_map, hash_set moved to ext or backwards</h4></div></div></div><p>At this time most of the features of the SGI STL extension have been
replaced by standardized libraries.
In particular, the <code class="classname">unordered_map</code> and
<code class="classname">unordered_set</code> containers of TR1 and C++ 2011
are suitable replacements for the non-standard
<code class="classname">hash_map</code> and <code class="classname">hash_set</code>
containers in the SGI STL.
</p><p> Header files <code class="filename">&lt;hash_map&gt;</code> and <code class="filename">&lt;hash_set&gt;</code> moved
to <code class="filename">&lt;ext/hash_map&gt;</code> and <code class="filename">&lt;ext/hash_set&gt;</code>,
respectively. At the same time, all types in these files are enclosed
in <code class="code">namespace __gnu_cxx</code>. Later versions deprecate
these files, and suggest using TR1's <code class="filename">&lt;unordered_map&gt;</code>
and <code class="filename">&lt;unordered_set&gt;</code> instead.
</p><p>The extensions are no longer in the global or <code class="code">std</code>
namespaces, instead they are declared in the <code class="code">__gnu_cxx</code>
namespace. For maximum portability, consider defining a namespace
alias to use to talk about extensions, e.g.:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
#ifdef __GNUC__
#if __GNUC__ &lt; 3
#include &lt;hash_map.h&gt;
namespace extension { using ::hash_map; }; // inherit globals
#else
#include &lt;backward/hash_map&gt;
#if __GNUC__ == 3 &amp;&amp; __GNUC_MINOR__ == 0
namespace extension = std; // GCC 3.0
#else
namespace extension = ::__gnu_cxx; // GCC 3.1 and later
#endif
#endif
#else // ... there are other compilers, right?
namespace extension = std;
#endif
extension::hash_map&lt;int,int&gt; my_map;
</pre><p>This is a bit cleaner than defining typedefs for all the
instantiations you might need.
</p><p>The following autoconf tests check for working HP/SGI hash containers.

</h4></div></div></div><p>Historically these flags were used with iostreams to control whether
new files are created or not when opening a file stream, similar to the
<code class="code">O_CREAT</code> and <code class="code">O_EXCL</code> flags for the
<code class="function">open(2)</code> system call. Because iostream modes correspond
to <code class="function">fopen(3)</code> modes these flags are not supported.
For input streams a new file will not be created anyway, so
<code class="code">ios::nocreate</code> is not needed.
For output streams, a new file will be created if it does not exist, which is
consistent with the behaviour of <code class="function">fopen</code>.
</p><p>When one of these flags is needed a possible alternative is to attempt
to open the file using <span class="type">std::ifstream</span> first to determine whether
the file already exists or not. This may not be reliable however, because
whether the file exists or not could change between opening the
<span class="type">std::istream</span> and re-opening with an output stream. If you need
to check for existence and open a file as a single operation then you will
need to use OS-specific facilities outside the C++ standard library, such
as <code class="function">open(2)</code>.

Phil Edwards writes: It was considered and rejected for the ISO
standard. Not all environments use file descriptors. Of those
that do, not all of them use integers to represent them.
</p><p>
For a portable solution (among systems which use
file descriptors), you need to implement a subclass of
<code class="code">std::streambuf</code> (or
<code class="code">std::basic_streambuf&lt;..&gt;</code>) which opens a file
given a descriptor, and then pass an instance of this to the
stream-constructor.
</p><p>
An extension is available that implements this.
<code class="filename">&lt;ext/stdio_filebuf.h&gt;</code>
contains a derived class called
<code class="classname">__gnu_cxx::stdio_filebuf</code>.
This class can be constructed from a C <code class="code">FILE*</code> or a file
descriptor, and provides the <code class="code">fd()</code> function.
</p><p>

Some C++11 features first appeared in GCC 4.3 and could be enabled by
<code class="option">-std=c++0x</code> and <code class="option">-std=gnu++0x</code> for GCC
releases which pre-date the 2011 standard. Those C++11 features and GCC's
support for them were still changing until the 2011 standard was finished,
but the autoconf checks above could be extended to test for incomplete
C++11 support with <code class="option">-std=c++0x</code> and
<code class="option">-std=gnu++0x</code>.
