   3      The C++ standard specifies the entire set of header files that
   4      must be available to all hosted implementations.  Actually, the
   5      word "files" is a misnomer, since the contents of the
   6      headers don't necessarily have to be in any kind of external
   7      file.  The only rule is that when one <code class="code">#include</code>'s a
   8      header, the contents of that header become available, no matter
   9      how.
  10    </p><p>
  11    That said, in practice files are used.
  12    </p><p>
  13      There are two main types of include files: header files related
  14      to a specific version of the ISO C++ standard (called Standard
  15      Headers), and all others (TR1, C++ ABI, and Extensions).
  16    </p><p>
  17      Two dialects of standard headers are supported, corresponding to
  18      the 1998 standard as updated for 2003, and the current 2011 standard.
  19    </p><p>
  20      C++98/03 include files. These are available in the default compilation mode, i.e. <code class="code">-std=c++98</code> or <code class="code">-std=gnu++98</code>.

id="manual.intro.using.headers.mixing"></a>Mixing Headers</h3></div></div></div><p> A few simple rules.
  34 </p><p>First, mixing different dialects of the standard headers is not
  35 possible. It's an all-or-nothing affair. Thus, code like
  36 </p><pre class="programlisting">
  37 #include &lt;array&gt;
  38 #include &lt;functional&gt;
  39 </pre><p>Implies C++11 mode. To use the entities in &lt;array&gt;, the C++11
  40 compilation mode must be used, which implies the C++11 functionality
  41 (and deprecations) in &lt;functional&gt; will be present.
  42 </p><p>Second, the other headers can be included with either dialect of
  43 the standard headers, although features and types specific to C++11
  44 are still only enabled when in C++11 compilation mode. So, to use
  45 rvalue references with <code class="code">__gnu_cxx::vstring</code>, or to use the
  46 debug-mode versions of <code class="code">std::unordered_map</code>, one must use
  47 the <code class="code">std=gnu++11</code> compiler flag. (Or <code class="code">std=c++11</code>, of course.)
  48 </p><p>A special case of the second rule is the mixing of TR1 and C++11
  49 facilities. It is possible (although not especially prudent) to
  50 include both the TR1 version and the C++11 version of header in the
  51 same translation unit:
  52 </p><pre class="programlisting">
  53 #include &lt;tr1/type_traits&gt;
  54 #include &lt;type_traits&gt;
  55 </pre><p> Several parts of C++11 diverge quite substantially from TR1 predecessors.
  56 </p></div><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="manual.intro.using.headers.cheaders"></a>The C Headers and <code class="code">namespace std</code></h3></div></div></div><p>
  57         The standard specifies that if one includes the C-style header
  58         (&lt;math.h&gt; in this case), the symbols will be available
  59         in the global namespace and perhaps in
  60         namespace <code class="code">std::</code> (but this is no longer a firm
  61         requirement.) On the other hand, including the C++-style
  62         header (&lt;cmath&gt;) guarantees that the entities will be
  63         found in namespace std and perhaps in the global namespace.
  64       </p><p>
  65 Usage of C++-style headers is recommended, as then
  66 C-linkage names can be disambiguated by explicit qualification, such
  67 as by <code class="code">std::abort</code>. In addition, the C++-style headers can
  68 use function overloading to provide a simpler interface to certain
  69 families of C-functions. For instance in &lt;cmath&gt;, the
  70 function <code class="code">std::sin</code> has overloads for all the builtin
  71 floating-point types. This means that <code class="code">std::sin</code> can be
  72 used uniformly, instead of a combination
  73 of <code class="code">std::sinf</code>, <code class="code">std::sin</code>,
  74 and <code class="code">std::sinl</code>.
