-libstdc++-v3</a></h1>
-
-<p>This page describes the extensions that SGI made to their version of the
- STL subset of the Standard C++ Library. For a time we
- <a href="../faq/index.html#5_3">tracked and imported changes and updates
- from most of the SGI STL</a>, up through their (apparently) final release.
- Their extensions were mostly preserved.
-</p>
-
-<p>They are listed according to the chapters of the library that they
- extend (see <a href="../documentation.html#3">the chapter-specific notes</a>
- for a description). Not every chapter may have extensions, and the
- extensions may come and go. Also, this page is incomplete because the
- author is pressed for time. Check back often; the latest change was on
- $Date: 2003/01/23 23:35:19 $ (UTC).
-</p>
-
-<p>Descriptions range from the scanty to the verbose. You should also check
- the <a href="../documentation.html#4">generated documentation</a> for notes
- and comments, especially for entries marked with '*'. For more complete
- doumentation, see the SGI website. For <em>really</em> complete
- documentation, buy a copy of Matt Austern's book. *grin*

-<h3><a name="ch20">Chapter 20</a></h3>
-<p>The <functional> header contains many additional functors and
- helper functions, extending section 20.3. They are implemented in the
- file stl_function.h:
-</p>
-<ul>
- <li><code>identity_element</code> for addition and multiplication. * </li>
- <li>The functor <code>identity</code>, whose <code>operator()</code>
- returns the argument unchanged. * </li>
- <li>Composition functors <code>unary_function</code> and
- <code>binary_function</code>, and their helpers <code>compose1</code>
- and <code>compose2</code>. * </li>
- <li><code>select1st</code> and <code>select2nd</code>, to strip pairs. * </li>
- <li><code>project1st</code> and <code>project2nd</code>. * </li>
- <li>A set of functors/functions which always return the same result. They
- are <code>constant_void_fun</code>, <code>constant_binary_fun</code>,
- <code>constant_unary_fun</code>, <code>constant0</code>,
- <code>constant1</code>, and <code>constant2</code>. * </li>
- <li>The class <code>subtractive_rng</code>. * </li>
- <li>mem_fun adaptor helpers <code>mem_fun1</code> and
- <code>mem_fun1_ref</code> are provided for backwards compatibility. </li>
-</ul>
-<p>20.4.1 can use several different allocators; they are described on the
- main extensions page.
-</p>
-<p>20.4.3 is extended with a special version of
- <code>get_temporary_buffer</code> taking a second argument. The argument
- is a pointer, which is ignored, but can be used to specify the template
- type (instead of using explicit function template arguments like the
- standard version does). That is, in addition to
-</p>
- <pre>
- get_temporary_buffer<int>(5);</pre>
- you can also use
- <pre>
- get_temporary_buffer(5, (int*)0);</pre>
-<p>A class <code>temporary_buffer</code> is given in stl_tempbuf.h. *
-</p>
-<p>The specialized algorithms of section 20.4.4 are extended with
- <code>uninitialized_copy_n</code>. *

-<h3><a name="ch23">Chapter 23</a></h3>
-<p>A few extensions and nods to backwards-compatibility have been made with
- containers. Those dealing with older SGI-style allocators are dealt with
- elsewhere. The remaining ones all deal with bits:
-</p>
-<p>The old pre-standard <code>bit_vector</code> class is present for
- backwards compatibility. It is simply a typedef for the
- <code>vector<bool></code> specialization.
-</p>
-<p>The <code>bitset</code> class has a number of extensions, described in the
- rest of this item. First, we'll mention that this implementation of
- <code>bitset<N></code> is specialized for cases where N number of
- bits will fit into a single word of storage. If your choice of N is
- within that range (<=32 on i686-pc-linux-gnu, for example), then all
- of the operations will be faster.
-</p>
-<p>There are
- versions of single-bit test, set, reset, and flip member functions which
- do no range-checking. If we call them member functions of an instantiation
- of "bitset<N>," then their names and signatures are:
-</p>
- <pre>
- bitset<N>& _Unchecked_set (size_t pos);
- bitset<N>& _Unchecked_set (size_t pos, int val);
- bitset<N>& _Unchecked_reset (size_t pos);
- bitset<N>& _Unchecked_flip (size_t pos);
- bool _Unchecked_test (size_t pos);</pre>
-<p>Note that these may in fact be removed in the future, although we have
- no present plans to do so (and there doesn't seem to be any immediate
- reason to).
-</p>
-<p>The semantics of member function <code>operator[]</code> are not specified
- in the C++ standard. A long-standing defect report calls for sensible
- obvious semantics, which are already implemented here: <code>op[]</code>
- on a const bitset returns a bool, and for a non-const bitset returns a
- <code>reference</code> (a nested type). However, this implementation does
- no range-checking on the index argument, which is in keeping with other
- containers' <code>op[]</code> requirements. The defect report's proposed
- resolution calls for range-checking to be done. We'll just wait and see...
-</p>
-<p>Finally, two additional searching functions have been added. They return
- the index of the first "on" bit, and the index of the first
- "on" bit that is after <code>prev</code>, respectively:
-</p>
- <pre>
- size_t _Find_first() const;
- size_t _Find_next (size_t prev) const;</pre>
-<p>The same caveat given for the _Unchecked_* functions applies here also.

-<h3><a name="ch24">Chapter 24</a></h3>
-<p>24.3.2 describes <code>struct iterator</code>, which didn't exist in the
- original HP STL implementation (the language wasn't rich enough at the
- time). For backwards compatibility, base classes are provided which
- declare the same nested typedefs:
-</p>
- <ul>
- <li>input_iterator</li>
- <li>output_iterator</li>
- <li>forward_iterator</li>
- <li>bidirectional_iterator</li>
- <li>random_access_iterator</li>
- </ul>
-<p>24.3.4 describes iterator operation <code>distance</code>, which takes
- two iterators and returns a result. It is extended by another signature
- which takes two iterators and a reference to a result. The result is
- modified, and the function returns nothing.

-<h3><a name="ch25">Chapter 25</a></h3>
-<p>25.1.6 (count, count_if) is extended with two more versions of count
- and count_if. The standard versions return their results. The
- additional signatures return void, but take a final parameter by
- reference to which they assign their results, e.g.,
-</p>
- <pre>
- void count (first, last, value, n);</pre>
-<p>25.2 (mutating algorithms) is extended with two families of signatures,
- random_sample and random_sample_n.
-</p>
-<p>25.2.1 (copy) is extended with
-</p>
- <pre>
- copy_n (_InputIter first, _Size count, _OutputIter result);</pre>
-<p>which copies the first 'count' elements at 'first' into 'result'.
-</p>
-<p>25.3 (sorting 'n' heaps 'n' stuff) is extended with some helper
- predicates. Look in the doxygen-generated pages for notes on these.
-</p>
- <ul>
- <li><code>is_heap</code> tests whether or not a range is a heap.</li>
- <li><code>is_sorted</code> tests whether or not a range is sorted in
- nondescending order.</li>
- </ul>
-<p>25.3.8 (lexigraphical_compare) is extended with
-</p>
- <pre>
- lexicographical_compare_3way(_InputIter1 first1, _InputIter1 last1,
- _InputIter2 first2, _InputIter2 last2)</pre>
-<p>which does... what?

-<h3><a name="ch26">Chapter 26</a></h3>
-<p>26.4, the generalized numeric operations such as accumulate, are extended
- with the following functions:
-</p>
- <pre>
- power (x, n);
- power (x, n, moniod_operation);</pre>
-<p>Returns, in FORTRAN syntax, "x ** n" where n>=0. In the
- case of n == 0, returns the <a href="#ch20">identity element</a> for the
- monoid operation. The two-argument signature uses multiplication (for
- a true "power" implementation), but addition is supported as well.
- The operation functor must be associative.
-</p>
-<p>The <code>iota</code> function wins the award for Extension With the
- Coolest Name. It "assigns sequentially increasing values to a range.
- That is, it assigns value to *first, value + 1 to *(first + 1) and so
- on." Quoted from SGI documentation.
-</p>
- <pre>
- void iota(_ForwardIter first, _ForwardIter last, _Tp value);</pre>
-<p>Return <a href="howto.html">to the main extensions page</a> or
- <a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/libstdc++/">to the homepage</a>.
