The GNU C++ library sources have been specially formatted so that with the
proper invocation of another tool (Doxygen), a set of HTML pages
are generated from the sources files themselves. The resultant
documentation is referred to as Source Level Documentation, and is
useful for examining the signatures of public member functions for
the library classes, finding out what is in a particular include
file, looking at inheritance diagrams, etc.
</p><p>
The source-level documentation for the most recent releases can be
viewed online:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>
<a class="ulink" href="libstdc++-html-USERS-3.4/index.html" target="_top">for the 3.4 release
</a>
</p></li><li><p>
<a class="ulink" href="libstdc++-html-USERS-4.1/index.html" target="_top">for the 4.1 release
</a>
</p></li><li><p>
<a class="ulink" href="libstdc++-html-USERS-4.2/index.html" target="_top">for the 4.2 release
</a>
</p></li><li><p>
<a class="ulink" href="libstdc++-html-USERS-4.3/index.html" target="_top">for the 4.3 release
</a>
</p></li><li><p>
<a class="ulink" href="latest-doxygen/index.html" target="_top">"the latest collection"
</a>
(For the main development tree; see the date on the first page.)
</p></li></ul></div><p>
This generated HTML collection, as above, is also available for download in the libstdc++ snapshots directory at
<code class="literal">&lt;URL:ftp://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/libstdc++/doxygen/&gt;</code>.
You will almost certainly need to use one of the
<a class="ulink" href="http://gcc.gnu.org/mirrors.html" target="_top">mirror sites</a> to download
the tarball. After unpacking, simply load libstdc++-html-*/index.html
into a browser.
</p><p>
Documentation for older releases is available for download only, not
online viewing.
</p><p>
In addition, an initial set of man pages are also available in the
same place as the HTML collections. Start with C++Intro(3).
