Yes, I am aware of that footnote in the Standard. I've had lengthy discussion
about this on both comp.lang.c++ and comp.std.c++. I believe Stroustrup was
operating under the traditional assumption that the standard headers are in
fact header files. I do believe that's what he meant. But he has already
chided me for making conjectures about what he thinks, so perhaps I should
simply conclude that the statement is not clear.
Do you understand my motivation for wanting this interface in electronic form?
I am not the expert on the subject. That hat is, so far as I know, warn by
Roberto Raggi http://www.kdevelop.org/index.html?filename=3.0/authors.html.
His opinion on this matter would probably be quite valuable. My
understanding is he is very busy these days, and has not been able to focus
much on the KDevelop project.
There is a feature in KDevelop called persistent class store PCS, which builds
a code completion datablase from the headers you feed it. Do you care to
guess the results of that when run against libstdc++?
