- exception specifications need to be reviewed for all parts of the
library support and utility areas, particularly <new>.
- scoping/linking issues WRT to C structs need to be worked out. See
Nathan's commentary on cantrip, http://www.cantrip.org/cheaders.html
- triglyphs/ciso646: and, and_eq, bitand, bitor, compl, not, not_eq,
or, or_eq, xor, xor_eq, true && 45, true and false, true or 45, etc.
(bool and int), etc.
- operator!= and utility/rel_ops operators need to be made safe with
string and vector iterator classes. basic_string::reverse_iterator may
be implemented incorrectly, or need things like
operator==(__normal_iterator, const char*&), and swap(vector)
- auto_ptr: seems to be some disagreement on what is
standards-conformant behavior, specially on conversion operators.
- header optimizations to keep compile times reasonable are most
certainly detracting from full conformance, as many templatized
definitions are squired away and pre-instantiated, so that the
compiler doesn't have to parse them. Areas effected: valarray, string,
all of iostreams and locales.
- C-related issues WRT to libio and filepos, mbstate_t. Need to
straighten this stuff out with the glibc-2.2 libio. Also may need to
define operators for mbstate_t so that 'mbstate_t& == mbstate_t' is
something that can be done.
- looks like deque::get_allocator not standards conformant or deque
allocator non-standard.
- list::assignment operator needs const_cast
- a cleaner division between pointers-to-value_type and true iterators
needs to be drawn throughout the entire STL implementation.
- priority_queue conversions may be non-conformant
- 'do the right thing' ctor fixing needs to be done for string. This
is still subject to some debate on the library issues list, so I
suggest punting till the dust clears.
- complex<float> seems to be the single largest source of internal
compiler errors when compiling the c++ library across non-x86
platforms. Somebody needs to make sure the complex support builtin to
gcc is actually working. Just as a "for-instance" these things give ICEs:
class complex<float>& complex<float>::operator-=<float>(const complex<float> &)
class complex<float>& complex<float>::operator/=<float>(const complex<float> &)
class complex<float>& complex<float>::operator+=<float>(const complex<float> &)
class complex<float>& complex<float>::operator-=<float>(const complex<float> &)
class complex<float>& complex<float>::operator*=<float>(const complex<float> &)
- Protect valarray::result_type (not Standard) and make it work with
the various helper classes.
- Make sure `valarray<bool> & == _Expr<_BinClos<logical_or,_ValArray,_ValArray,double,double>,bool>'
is defined
- known issues WRT to io and corner cases with the buffers. This is
still subject to interpretation, and I think the current
implementation is credible.
- All of the Library working group closed issues need to be
addressed. Some of them proposed resolutions are already in the v-3
sources, with macro-guards.
- add deprecated features from Annex D
- add #ifdef wrappers for all of them, including in each
C <xxx.h> header
- replace typedef'd non-deprecated types with more type-safe equivalents.
- add optimization hooks (esp. whitespace eating) to streambuf
- add _M_begin() and _M_end() to streambuf
- add algorithm specializations for [io]streambuf_iterator (copy find etc.)
- fix template members of basic_string<> to overload iterators and
non-iterators properly. (This is the infamous hack as in vector<> etc
23.1.1 para 10.)
- write filebuf for wide characters
- add feature-test macros for non-standard extensions
- move major extensions into separate namespace (e.g. stl::)
- create MT abstraction layer
- add MT support for locale, string, istream, ostream
- provide testsuites for numerics.
- add FAQ entries -- improve the install instructions
- add HOWTO entries
