Include files from the SGI/HP sources that pre-date the ISO standard
are added. These files are placed into
the <filename class="directory">include/backward</filename> directory and a deprecated warning
is added that notifies on inclusion (<literal>-Wno-deprecated</literal>
deactivates the warning.)

<para>
Extensions from SGI/HP moved from <code>namespace std</code>
to <code>namespace __gnu_cxx</code>. As part of this, the following
new includes are
added: <filename class="headerfile"><ext/algorithm></filename>, <filename class="headerfile"><ext/functional></filename>, <filename class="headerfile"><ext/iterator></filename>, <filename class="headerfile"><ext/memory></filename>, and <filename class="headerfile"><ext/numeric></filename>.

<para>Allocator changes. Change <code>__malloc_alloc</code> to <code>malloc_allocator</code> and <code>__new_alloc</code> to <code>new_allocator</code>. </para>
<para> For GCC releases from 2.95 through the 3.1 series, defining
<literal>__USE_MALLOC</literal> on the gcc command line would change the
default allocation strategy to instead use <code>malloc</code> and
<code>free</code>. For the 3.2 and 3.3 release series the same
functionality was spelled <literal>_GLIBCXX_FORCE_NEW</literal>. From
GCC 3.4 onwards the default allocator uses <code>new</code> anyway,
but for the optional pooling allocators the functionality is enabled by
setting <literal>GLIBCXX_FORCE_NEW</literal> in the environment, see
<link linkend="manual.ext.allocator.mt">the mt allocator chapter</link>
for details.

<para> Extensions for generic characters and <code>char_traits</code> added in <filename class="headerfile"><ext/pod_char_traits.h></filename>.
</para>

</para>
<para>
Support for <code>char_traits</code> beyond builtin types.
</para>
<para>
Conformant <code>allocator</code> class and usage in containers. As
part of this, the following extensions are
added: <filename class="headerfile"><ext/bitmap_allocator.h></filename>, <filename class="headerfile"><ext/debug_allocator.h></filename>, <filename class="headerfile"><ext/mt_allocator.h></filename>, <filename class="headerfile"><ext/malloc_allocator.h></filename>,<filename class="headerfile"><ext/new_allocator.h></filename>, <filename class="headerfile"><ext/pool_allocator.h></filename>.
</para>
<para>
This is a change from all previous versions, and may require
source-level changes due to allocator-related changes to structures
names and template parameters, filenames, and file locations. Some,
like <code>__simple_alloc, __allocator, __alloc, </code> and <code>
_Alloc_traits</code> have been removed.
</para>
<para>Default behavior of <code>std::allocator</code> has changed.</para>
<para>
Previous versions prior to 3.4 cache allocations in a memory
pool, instead of passing through to call the global allocation
operators (i.e., <classname>__gnu_cxx::pool_allocator</classname>). More
recent versions default to the
simpler <classname>__gnu_cxx::new_allocator</classname>.
</para>
<para> Previously, all allocators were written to the SGI
style, and all STL containers expected this interface. This
interface had a traits class called <code>_Alloc_traits</code> that
attempted to provide more information for compile-time allocation
selection and optimization. This traits class had another allocator
wrapper, <code>__simple_alloc<T,A></code>, which was a
wrapper around another allocator, A, which itself is an allocator
for instances of T. But wait, there's more:
<code>__allocator<T,A></code> is another adapter. Many of
the provided allocator classes were SGI style: such classes can be
changed to a conforming interface with this wrapper:
<code>__allocator<T, __alloc></code> is thus the same as
<code>allocator<T></code>.
</para>
<para> The class <classname>allocator</classname> used the typedef
<type>__alloc</type> to select an underlying allocator that
satisfied memory allocation requests. The selection of this
underlying allocator was not user-configurable.

<para>
The <classname>std::packaged_task</classname> constructors taking
an allocator argument are only defined for C++11 and C++14.
</para>
<para>
Several members of <classname>std::allocator</classname> were removed
for C++20 mode. The removed functionality has been provided by
<classname>std::allocator_traits</classname> since C++11 and that should
be used instead.
</para>
<para>
The type of the <classname>std::iterator</classname> base class of
<classname>std::istreambuf_iterator</classname> was changed to be
consistent for all <option>-std</option> modes.
Before GCC 10.1 the base class had one type in C++98 mode and a
different type in C++11 and later modes. The type in C++98 mode
was changed to be the same as for C++11 and later.
