31 The GNU C++ library sources have been specially formatted so that with the
32 proper invocation of another tool (Doxygen), a set of HTML pages
33 are generated from the sources files themselves. The resultant
34 documentation is referred to as Source Level Documentation, and is
35 useful for examining the signatures of public member functions for
36 the library classes, finding out what is in a particular include
37 file, looking at inheritance diagrams, etc.
41 The source-level documentation for the most recent releases can be
48 <ulink url="http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/libstdc++-html-USERS-3.4/index.html">for the 3.4 release
54 <ulink url="http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/libstdc++-html-USERS-4.1/index.html">for the 4.1 release
60 <ulink url="http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/libstdc++-html-USERS-4.2/index.html">for the 4.2 release
66 <ulink url="http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/libstdc++-html-USERS-4.3/index.html">for the 4.3 release
72 <ulink url="http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/libstdc++-html-USERS-4.4/index.html">for the 4.4 release
78 <ulink url="http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/latest-doxygen/index.html">"the latest collection"
80 (For the main development tree; see the date on the first page.)
86 This generated HTML collection, as above, is also available for download in the libstdc++ snapshots directory at
87 <literal><URL:ftp://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/libstdc++/doxygen/></literal>.
88 You will almost certainly need to use one of the
89 <ulink url="http://gcc.gnu.org/mirrors.html">mirror sites</ulink> to download
90 the tarball. After unpacking, simply load libstdc++-html-*/index.html
95 Documentation for older releases is available for download only, not
100 In addition, an initial set of man pages are also available in the
101 same place as the HTML collections. Start with C++Intro(3).
