Standard C++ Library

Listed below are the main elements of the Standard C++ Library:

• Language support. Supplies common type definitions used throughout the entire library. Such common type definitions include functions supporting the starting and ending of C++ programs, dynamic memory allocation support, and other runtime support.
• Diagnostics. Contains a global variable for error number codes, components for reporting various types of exceptional conditions, and components for documenting program assertions.
• General utilities. Contains memory management components from the C library. Contains components used by the Standard Template Library. Contains dynamic memory management utilities and function objects.
• Strings. Contains components for string manipulation, including manipulation sequences of characters. The library provides a class template that defines the basic properties of strings. The types string and wstring are provided as predefined template instantiations.
• Localization. Contains internationalization support for character classification and string collation. Such classifications and collations are date/time formatting, message retrieval, monetary, numeric, and parsing.
• Standard Template Library (STL). A library of such components as containers, algorithms, and iterators. The purpose of this library is to provide a standard software library with no loss of performance.
• Numerics. Contains components for numeric arrays, generalized numeric algorithms, and complex number types, as well as components to perform seminumerical operations.
• Input/Output. Contains components for the declaration of base I/O stream classes, file streams, I/O streams, stream buffering, stream formatting, and predefined I/O stream objects.
• Standard C Library. The Standard C++ Library also incorporates the Standard C Library.
