Implementation Specific Behavior

The ISO standard defines the following phrase:

[1.3.5] implementation-defined behavior

Behavior, for a well-formed program construct and correct data, that depends on the implementation and that each implementation shall document.

We do so here, for the C++ library only. Behavior of the compiler, linker, runtime loader, and other elements of "the implementation" are documented elsewhere. Everything listed in Annex B, Implementation Qualities, are also part of the compiler, not the library.

For each entry, we give the section number of the standard, when applicable. This list is probably incomplet and inkorrekt.

[1.9]/11 #3 If isatty(3) is true, then interactive stream support is implied.

[17.4.4.5] Non-reentrant functions are probably best discussed in the various sections on multithreading (see above).

[18.1]/4 The type of NULL is described under Support.

[18.3]/8 Even though it's listed in the library sections, libstdc++ has zero control over what the cleanup code hands back to the runtime loader. Talk to the compiler people. :-)

[18.4.2.1]/5 (bad_alloc), [18.5.2]/5 (bad_cast), [18.5.3]/5 (bad_typeid), [18.6.1]/8 (exception), [18.6.2.1]/5 (bad_exception): The what() member function of class std::exception, and these other classes publicly derived from it, simply returns the name of the class. But they are the mangled names; you will need to call c++filt and pass the names as command-line parameters to demangle them, or call a runtime demangler function. (The classes in <stdexcept> have constructors which require an argument to use later for what() calls, so the problem of what()'s value does not arise in most user-defined exceptions.)

[18.5.1]/7 The return value of std::type_info::name() is the mangled type name (see the previous entry for more).

[20.1.5]/5 "Implementors are encouraged to supply libraries that can accept allocators that encapsulate more general memory models and that support non-equal instances. In such implementations, any requirements imposed on allocators by containers beyond those requirements that appear in Table 32, and the semantics of containers and algorithms when allocator instances compare non-equal, are implementation-defined." There is experimental support for non-equal allocators in the standard containers in C++98 mode. There are no additional requirements on allocators. It is undefined behaviour to swap two containers if their allocators are not equal.

[21.1.3.1]/3,4, [21.1.3.2]/2, [23.*]'s foo::iterator, [27.*]'s foo::*_type, others... Nope, these types are called implementation-defined because you shouldn't be taking advantage of their underlying types. Listing them here would defeat the purpose. :-)

[21.1.3.1]/5 I don't really know about the mbstate_t stuff... see the codecvt notes for what does exist.

[22.*] Anything and everything we have on locale implementation will be described under Localization.

[26.2.8]/9 I have no idea what complex<T>'s pow(0,0) returns.

[27.4.2.4]/2 Calling std::ios_base::sync_with_stdio after I/O has already been performed on the standard stream objects will flush the buffers, and destroy and recreate the underlying buffer instances. Whether or not the previously-written I/O is destroyed in this process depends mostly on the --enable-libio choice: for stdio, if the written data is already in the stdio buffer, the data may be completely safe!

[27.6.1.1.2], [27.6.2.3] The I/O sentry ctor and dtor can perform additional work than the minimum required. We are not currently taking advantage of this yet.

[27.7.1.3]/16, [27.8.1.4]/10 The effects of pubsetbuf/setbuf are described in the Input and Output chapter.

[27.8.1.4]/16 Calling fstream::sync when a get area exists will... whatever fflush() does, I think.

C++ 2011

This table is based on the table of contents of ISO/IEC JTC1 SC22 WG21 Doc No: N3290 Date: 2011-04-11 Final Draft International Standard, Standard for Programming Language C++

In this implementation the -std=gnu++11 or -std=c++11 flag must be used to enable language and library features. See dialect options. The pre-defined symbol __cplusplus is used to check for the presence of the required flag.

This page describes the C++11 support in mainline GCC SVN, not in any particular release.

Implementation Specific Behavior

For behaviour which is also specified by the 1998 and 2003 standards, see C++ 1998/2003 Implementation Specific Behavior. This section only documents behaviour which is new in the 2011 standard.

20.7.2.2.1 [util.smartptr.shared.const] Only bad_alloc (or types derived from it) will be thrown.

20.8.9.1.3 [func.bind.place]/1 There are 29 placeholders defined and the placeholder types are CopyAssignable.

21.2.3.2 [char.traits.specializations.char16_t], 21.2.3.3 [char.traits.specializations.char32_t] The types u16streampos and u32streampos are both synonyms for fpos<mbstate_t>. The function eof returns int_type(-1).

22.4.5.1.2 [locale.time.get.virtuals], 22.4.5.3.2 [locale.time.put.virtuals] Additional supported formats should be documented here.

22.4.7.1.2 [locale.messages.virtuals] The mapping should be documented here.

23.5.4.2 [unord.map.cnstr], 23.5.5.2 [unord.multimap.cnstr], 23.5.6.2 [unord.set.cnstr], 23.5.7.2 [unord.multiset.cnstr] The default minimal bucket count is 0 for the default constructors, range constructors and initializer-list constructors.

25.3.12 [alg.random.shuffle] The two-argument overload of random_shuffle uses rand as the source of randomness.

26.5.5 [rand.predef] The type default_random_engine is a synonym for minstd_rand0.

26.5.6 [rand.device] The default token argument to the random_device constructor is "default". Other valid arguments are "/dev/random" and "/dev/urandom", which determine the character special file to read random bytes from. The "default" token will read bytes from a hardware RNG if available (currently this only supports the IA-32 RDRAND instruction) otherwise it is equivalent to "/dev/urandom". An exception of type runtime_error will be thrown if a random_device object cannot open or read from the source of random bytes.

26.5.8.1 [rand.dist.general] The algorithms used by the distributions should be documented here.

26.8 [c.math] Whether the rand function introduces data races depends on the C library as the function is not provided by libstdc++.

28.5.1 [re.synopt], 28.5.2 [re.matchflag] , 28.5.3 [re.err] syntax_option_type, match_flag_type and error_type are unscoped enumeration types.

28.7 [re.traits] The blank character class corresponds to the ctype_base::blank mask.

30.2.3 [thread.req.native]/1 native_handle_type and native_handle are provided. The handle types are defined in terms of the Gthreads abstraction layer, although this is subject to change at any time. Any use of native_handle is inherently non-portable and not guaranteed to work between major releases of GCC.

  • thread: The native handle type is a typedef for __gthread_t i.e. pthread_t when GCC is configured with the posix thread model. The value of the native handle is undefined for a thread which is not joinable.

  • mutex and timed_mutex: The native handle type is __gthread_mutex_t* i.e. pthread_mutex_t* for the posix thread model.

  • recursive_mutex and recursive_timed_mutex: The native handle type is __gthread_recursive_mutex_t* i.e. pthread_mutex_t* for the posix thread model.

  • condition_variable: The native handle type is __gthread_cond_t* i.e. pthread_cond_t* for the posix thread model.

30.6.1 [futures.overview]/2 launch is a scoped enumeration type with overloaded operators to support bitmask operations. There are no additional bitmask elements defined.

C++ 2014

In this implementation the -std=gnu++14 or -std=c++14 flag must be used to enable language and library features. See dialect options. The pre-defined symbol __cplusplus is used to check for the presence of the required flag.

This page describes the C++14 and library TS support in mainline GCC SVN, not in any particular release.
