  <para>
Extensions moved to <filename class="directory">include/ext</filename>.
  </para>

<para>
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>

<para>Deprecated include <filename class="headerfile">backward/strstream</filename> added.</para>

<para>Removal of include <filename class="headerfile">builtinbuf.h</filename>, <filename class="headerfile">indstream.h</filename>, <filename class="headerfile">parsestream.h</filename>, <filename class="headerfile">PlotFile.h</filename>, <filename class="headerfile">SFile.h</filename>, <filename class="headerfile">stdiostream.h</filename>, and <filename class="headerfile">stream.h</filename>.

<section xml:id="api.rel_310"><info><title><constant>3.1</constant></title></info>

  <para>
  </para>

<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>

<para>
Extensions to <code>basic_filebuf</code> introduced: <code>__gnu_cxx::enc_filebuf</code>, and <code>__gnu_cxx::stdio_filebuf</code>.
</para>

<para>
Extensions to tree data structures added in <filename class="headerfile">ext/rb_tree</filename>.
</para>

<para>
Removal of <filename class="headerfile">ext/tree</filename>, moved to <filename class="headerfile">backward/tree.h</filename>.
</para>

<section xml:id="api.rel_320"><info><title><constant>3.2</constant></title></info>

  <para>
  </para>
<para>Symbol versioning introduced for shared library.</para>

<para>Removal of include <filename class="headerfile">backward/strstream.h</filename>.</para>

<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
   <function>free</function>. 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 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>


<para>Error handling in iostreams cleaned up, made consistent. </para>

  <para>
  </para>
<para>
Large file support.
</para>

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

<para>
Support for <code>wchar_t</code> specializations of <code>basic_filebuf</code> enhanced to support <code>UTF-8</code> and <code>Unicode</code>, depending on host. More hosts support basic <code>wchar_t</code> functionality.
</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&lt;T,A&gt;</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&lt;T,A&gt;</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&lt;T, __alloc&gt;</code> is thus the same as
   <code>allocator&lt;T&gt;</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.
