Hi,
I understand that libstdc++ is standard C++ library implementing
functions in 32 standard headers. But then what are libsupc++ and
libsupc++convenience for?
The compiler *requires* certain library functions in order to implement
the language -- this is the 'language support library'. This
is things like dynamic cast helpers and exception matching. These
are in libsubc++.
libsupc++ is the standalone language support library -- if you do not
use the STL, you only need to link with that.
libsupc++convenience is libsupc++ in a form that is incorporated into
libstdc++
