-<sect3> |
- <title>Namespace <code>std::</code> not supported</title> |
- |
- <para> |
- Some care is required to support C++ compiler and or library |
- implementation that do not have the standard library in |
- <code>namespace std</code>. |
- </para> |
- |
- <para> |
- The following sections list some possible solutions to support compilers |
- that cannot ignore <code>std::</code>-qualified names. |
- </para> |
- |
- <para> |
- First, see if the compiler has a flag for this. Namespace |
- back-portability-issues are generally not a problem for g++ |
- compilers that do not have libstdc++ in <code>std::</code>, as the |
- compilers use <code>-fno-honor-std</code> (ignore |
- <code>std::</code>, <code>:: = std::</code>) by default. That is, |
- the responsibility for enabling or disabling <code>std::</code> is |
- on the user; the maintainer does not have to care about it. This |
- probably applies to some other compilers as well. |
- </para> |
- |
- <para> |
- Second, experiment with a variety of pre-processor tricks. |
- </para> |
- |
- <para> |
- By defining <code>std</code> as a macro, fully-qualified namespace |
- calls become global. Volia. |
- </para> |
- |
-<programlisting> |
-#ifdef WICKEDLY_OLD_COMPILER |
-# define std |
-#endif |
-</programlisting> |
- |
- <para> |
- Thanks to Juergen Heinzl who posted this solution on gnu.gcc.help. |
- </para> |
- |
- <para> |
- Another pre-processor based approach is to define a macro |
- <code>NAMESPACE_STD</code>, which is defined to either |
- <quote> </quote> or <quote>std</quote> based on a compile-type |
- test. On GNU systems, this can be done with autotools by means of |
- an autoconf test (see below) for <code>HAVE_NAMESPACE_STD</code>, |
- then using that to set a value for the <code>NAMESPACE_STD</code> |
- macro. At that point, one is able to use |
- <code>NAMESPACE_STD::string</code>, which will evaluate to |
- <code>std::string</code> or <code>::string</code> (i.e., in the |
- global namespace on systems that do not put <code>string</code> in |
- <code>std::</code>). |

-<itemizedlist> |
- <listitem> |
- <para> |

- <para> |
- <code>if (iterator)</code> won't work any more => use |

- <title><code>isspace</code> from <filename class="headerfile">cctype</filename> is a macro |
- </title> |
- |
- <para> |
- Glibc 2.0.x and 2.1.x define <filename |
- class="headerfile">ctype.h</filename> functionality as macros |
- (isspace, isalpha etc.). |
- </para> |
- |
- <para> |
- This implementations of libstdc++, however, keep these functions |
- as macros, and so it is not back-portable to use fully qualified |
- names. For example: |
- </para> |
- |
-<programlisting> |
-#include <cctype> |
-int main() { std::isspace('X'); } |
-</programlisting> |
- |
-<para> |
- Results in something like this: |
-</para> |
- |
-<programlisting> |
-std:: (__ctype_b[(int) ( ( 'X' ) )] & (unsigned short int) _ISspace ) ; |
-</programlisting> |
- |
-<para> |
- A solution is to modify a header-file so that the compiler tells |
- <filename class="headerfile">ctype.h</filename> to define functions |
- instead of macros: |
-</para> |
- |
-<programlisting> |
-// This keeps isalnum, et al from being propagated as macros. |
-#if __linux__ |
-# define __NO_CTYPE 1 |
-#endif |
-</programlisting> |
- |
-<para> |
- Then, include <filename class="headerfile">ctype.h</filename> |
-</para> |
- |
-<para> |
- Another problem arises if you put a <code>using namespace |
- std;</code> declaration at the top, and include <filename |
- class="headerfile">ctype.h</filename>. This will result in |
- ambiguities between the definitions in the global namespace |
- (<filename class="headerfile">ctype.h</filename>) and the |
- definitions in namespace <code>std::</code> |
- (<code><cctype></code>). |
-</para> |

-<title>No <code>vector::at</code>, <code>deque::at</code>, <code>string::at</code></title> |

-#include <vector> |

-[AC_MSG_RESULT(yes) |
-AC_DEFINE(HAVE_CONTAINER_AT)], |
-[AC_MSG_RESULT(no)]) |
-</programlisting> |
- |
-<para> |
- If you are using other (non-GNU) compilers it might be a good idea |
- to check for <code>string::at</code> separately. |
-</para> |
- |
-</sect3> |
- |
-<sect3> |
-<title>No <code>std::char_traits<char>::eof</code></title> |

-</para> |

-<programlisting> |

-<sect3> |
-<title>No <code>string::clear</code></title> |
- |
-<para> |
- There are two functions for deleting the contents of a string: |
- <code>clear</code> and <code>erase</code> (the latter returns the |
- string). |
-</para> |
- |
-<programlisting> |
-void |
-clear() { _M_mutate(0, this->size(), 0); } |

-basic_string& |
-erase(size_type __pos = 0, size_type __n = npos) |
-{ |
- return this->replace(_M_check(__pos), _M_fold(__pos, __n), |
- _M_data(), _M_data()); |
-} |
-</programlisting> |
- |
-<para> |
- Unfortunately, <code>clear</code> is not implemented in this |
- version, so you should use <code>erase</code> (which is probably |
- faster than <code>operator=(charT*)</code>). |

- provided, (<filename class="headerfile">sstream</filename>), for |
- compatibility with older implementations the pre-ISO |

-<para> |
- You can then use output-stringstreams like this: |

-... |
-#ifndef HAVE_SSTREAM |
- oss << std::ends; // terminate the char*-string |
-#endif |
- |
-// str() returns char* for ostrstream and a string for ostringstream |
-// this also causes ostrstream to think that the buffer's memory |
-// is yours |
-m_label.set_text(oss.str()); |
-#ifndef HAVE_SSTREAM |
- // let the ostrstream take care of freeing the memory |
- oss.freeze(false); |
-#endif |
-</programlisting> |
- |
-<para> |
- Input-stringstreams can be used similarly: |
-</para> |
- |
-<programlisting> |
-std::string input; |
-... |
-#ifdef HAVE_SSTREAM |
-std::istringstream iss(input); |
-#else |
-std::istrstream iss(input.c_str()); |
-#endif |
- |
-int i; |
-iss >> i; |
-</programlisting> |
- |
-<para> One (the only?) restriction is that an istrstream cannot be re-filled: |
-</para> |
- |
-<programlisting> |
-std::istringstream iss(numerator); |
-iss >> m_num; |
-// this is not possible with istrstream |
-iss.clear(); |
-iss.str(denominator); |
-iss >> m_den; |
-</programlisting> |
- |
-<para> |
-If you don't care about speed, you can put these conversions in |
- a template-function: |
-</para> |
-<programlisting> |
-template <class X> |
-void fromString(const string& input, X& any) |
-{ |
-#ifdef HAVE_SSTREAM |
-std::istringstream iss(input); |
-#else |

- <para> |
- Earlier GCC releases had a somewhat different approach to |
- threading configuration and proper compilation. Before GCC 3.0, |
- configuration of the threading model was dictated by compiler |
- command-line options and macros (both of which were somewhat |
- thread-implementation and port-specific). There were no |
- guarantees related to being able to link code compiled with one |
- set of options and macro setting with another set. |
- </para> |
- |
- <para> |
- For GCC 3.0, configuration of the threading model used with |
- libraries and user-code is performed when GCC is configured and |

- The libstdc++ library has been designed so that it can be used in |
- multithreaded applications (with libstdc++-v2 this was only true |
- of the STL parts.) The first problem is finding a |
- <emphasis>fast</emphasis> method of implementation portable to |
- all platforms. Due to historical reasons, some of the library is |
- written against per-CPU-architecture spinlocks and other parts |
- against the gthr.h abstraction layer which is provided by gcc. A |
- minor problem that pops up every so often is different |
- interpretations of what "thread-safe" means for a |
- library (not a general program). We currently use the <ulink |
- url="http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/thread_safety.html">same |

- 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. |
- </para> |
- |
-<para> |
- For a portable solution (among systems which use |
- file descriptors), you need to implement a subclass of |
- <code>std::streambuf</code> (or |
- <code>std::basic_streambuf<..></code>) which opens a file |
- given a descriptor, and then pass an instance of this to the |
- stream-constructor. |
- </para> |
- |
-<para> |
- An extension is available that implements this. |
- <filename class="headerfile">ext/stdio_filebuf.h</filename> contains a derived class called |
- <ulink url="http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/latest-doxygen/class____gnu__cxx_1_1stdio__filebuf.html"><code>__gnu_cxx::stdio_filebuf</code></ulink>. |
- This class can be constructed from a C <code>FILE*</code> or a file |
- descriptor, and provides the <code>fd()</code> function. |
- </para> |
