This should be pure commentary and documentation.
I hope I got all these. I grepped for DR and added
_GLIBCXX_RESOLVE_LIB_DEFECTS where it seemed needed.
I did not add in cases where DR mentions were more commentary.
Then I added the new _GLIBCXX_RESOLVE_LIB_DEFECTS to the xml intro page.
OK? Can anyone think of one I left out?
In many of these cases I'd actually prefer to remove the comment
mentioning a DR, rather than add the RESOLVE_LIB_DEFECTS marker.
For example:
DR 1204: this says we don't need to check for self-move-assignment. It
applies to every move assignment operator in the library. It is not a
defect against C++03, and the resolution is part of the final C++11
standard, so I don't think we should document that we implement it.
DR 1261: another one with "C++11" status, meaning it was included in
the C++11 standard, and this one also isn't relevant to C++03, so of
course we implement it, and we shouldn't even mention it in comments
or docs.
DR 675, DR 776: these aren't relevant to C++03, and are part of C++11
(since the CD1 draft)
So I think adding RESOLVE_LIB_DEFECTS is the wrong thing to do, I'd
rather not touch them. Personally I'm in favour of completely remove
any mention of DRs that are fixes to C++0x drafts, not post-C++11
fixes, but that might be more controversial.
