The <code class="filename">libstdc++.so</code> shared library must
be carefully managed to maintain binary compatible with older versions
of the library. This ensures a new version of the library is still usable by
programs that were linked against an older version.
</p><p>
Dependent on the target supporting it, the library uses <a class="link" href="https://www.akkadia.org/drepper/symbol-versioning" target="_top">ELF
symbol versioning</a> for all exported symbols. The symbol versions
are defined by a <a class="link" href="https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/ld/VERSION.html" target="_top">linker
script</a> that assigns a version to every symbol.
The set of symbols in each version is fixed when a GCC
release is made, and must not change after that.
</p><p> When new symbols are added to the library they must be added
to a new symbol version, which must be created the first time new symbols
are added after a release. Adding a new symbol version involves the
following steps:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"><p>
Edit <code class="filename">acinclude.m4</code> to update the "revision" value of
<code class="varname">libtool_VERSION</code>, e.g. from <code class="literal">6:22:0</code>
to <code class="literal">6:23:0</code>, which will cause the shared library to be
built as <code class="filename">libstdc++.so.6.0.23</code>.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
Regenerate the <code class="filename">configure</code> script by running the
<span class="command"><strong>autoreconf</strong></span> tool from the correct version of the Autoconf
package (as dictated by the <a class="link" href="https://gcc.gnu.org/install/prerequisites.html" target="_top">GCC
prerequisites</a>).
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
Edit the file <code class="filename">config/abi/pre/gnu.ver</code> to
add a new version node after the last new node. The node name should be
<code class="literal">GLIBCXX_3.4.X</code> where <code class="literal">X</code> is the new
revision set in <code class="filename">acinclude.m4</code>, and the node should
depend on the previous version e.g.
</p><pre class="programlisting">
GLIBCXX_3.4.23 {
} GLIBCXX_3.4.22;
</pre><p>
For symbols in the ABI runtime, libsupc++, the symbol version naming uses
<code class="literal">CXXABI_1.3.Y</code> where <code class="literal">Y</code> increases
monotonically with each new version. Again, the new node must depend on the
previous version node e.g.
</p><pre class="programlisting">
CXXABI_1.3.11 {
} CXXABI_1.3.10;
</pre><p>
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
In order for the <a class="link" href="test.html#test.run.variations" title="Variations">check-abi</a> test
target to pass the testsuite must be updated to know about the new symbol
version(s). Edit the file <code class="filename">testsuite/util/testsuite_abi.cc</code>
file to add the new versions to the <code class="varname">known_versions</code> list,
and update the checks for the latest versions that set the
<code class="varname">latestp</code> variable).
</p></li></ul></div><p>
Once the new symbol version has been added you can add the names of your new
symbols in the new version node:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
GLIBCXX_3.4.23 {
# basic_string&lt;C, T, A&gt;::_Alloc_hider::_Alloc_hider(C*, A&amp;&amp;)
_ZNSt7__cxx1112basic_stringI[cw]St11char_traitsI[cw]ESaI[cw]EE12_Alloc_hiderC[12]EP[cw]OS3_;
} GLIBCXX_3.4.22;
</pre><p>
You can either use mangled names, or demangled names inside an
<code class="literal">extern "C++"</code> block. You might find that the new symbol
matches an existing pattern in an old symbol version (causing the
<code class="literal">check-abi</code> test target to fail). If that happens then the
existing pattern must be adjusted to be more specific so that it doesn't
match the new symbol.
</p><p>
For an example of these steps, including adjusting old patterns to be less
greedy, see <a class="link" href="https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2016-07/msg01926.html" target="_top">https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2016-07/msg01926.html</a>
and the attached patch.
</p><p>
If it wasn't done for the last release, you might also need to regenerate
the <code class="filename">baseline_symbols.txt</code> file that defines the set
of expected symbols for old symbol versions. A new baseline file can be
generated by running <strong class="userinput"><code>make new-abi-baseline</code></strong> in the
<code class="filename"><em class="replaceable"><code>libbuildir</code></em>/testsuite</code>
directory. Be sure to generate the baseline from a clean build using
unmodified sources, or you will incorporate your local changes into the
baseline file.

To run the libstdc++ test suite under the <a class="link" href="debug_mode.html" title="Chapter 17. Debug Mode">debug mode</a>, edit The tests will be compiled with a set of default compiler flags defined
<code class="filename">libstdc++-v3/scripts/testsuite_flags</code> to add the by the
compile-time flag <code class="constant">-D_GLIBCXX_DEBUG</code> to the <code class="filename"><em class="replaceable"><code>libbuildir</code></em>/scripts/testsuite_flags</code>
result printed by the <code class="literal">--build-cxx</code> file, as well as options specified in individual tests. You can run
the tests with different options by adding them to the output of
the <code class="option">--cxxflags</code> option of that script, or by setting
the <code class="varname">CXXFLAGS</code> variable when running
<span class="command"><strong>make</strong></span>, or via options for the DejaGnu test framework
(described below). The latter approach uses the
<code class="option">--target_board</code> option that was shown earlier.
For example, to run the tests with <code class="option">-O1 -D_GLIBCXX_ASSERT</code>
you could use:
</p><pre class="programlisting"> make RUNTESTFLAGS=--target_board=unix/-O1/-D_GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS</pre><p>
</p><p>
The <code class="option">--target_board</code> option can also be used to run the
tests multiple times in different variations. For example, to run the
entire testsuite three times using <code class="option">-O3</code> but with
different <code class="option">-std</code> options:
</p><pre class="programlisting"> make 'RUNTESTFLAGS=--target_board=unix/-O3\"{-std=gnu++98,-std=gnu++11,-std=gnu++14}\"'</pre><p>
N.B. that set of variations could also be written as
<code class="literal">unix/-O3\"{-std=gnu++98,-std=gnu++11,}\"</code> so that
the third variation would use the default for <code class="option">-std</code>
(which is <code class="option">-std=gnu++14</code> as of GCC 6).
</p><p>
To run the libstdc++ test suite under the
<a class="link" href="debug_mode.html" title="Chapter 17. Debug Mode">debug mode</a>, use
<strong class="userinput"><code>make check-debug</code></strong>. Alternatively, edit

Test cases that use features of a particular C++ standard should specify
the minimum required standard as an effective target:
</p><pre class="programlisting"> // { dg-do run { target c++11 } }</pre><p>
or
</p><pre class="programlisting"> // { dg-require-effective-target c++11 }</pre><p>
Specifying the minimum required standard for a test allows it to be run
using later standards, so that we can verify that C++11 components still
work correctly when compiled as C++14 or later. Specifying a minimum also
means the test will be skipped if the test is compiled using
an older standard, e.g. using
<code class="option">RUNTESTFLAGS=--target_board=unix/-std=gnu++98</code>.
</p><p>
It is possible to indicate that a test should <span class="emphasis"><em>only</em></span>
be run for a specific standard (and not later standards) using an
effective target like <code class="literal">c++11_only</code>. However, this means
the test will be skipped by default (because the default mode is
<code class="literal">gnu++14</code>), and so will only run when
<code class="option">-std=gnu++11</code> or <code class="option">-std=c++11</code> is used
explicitly. For tests that require a specific standard it is better to
use a <code class="literal">dg-options</code> directive:
</p><pre class="programlisting"> // { dg-options "-std=gnu++11" }</pre><p>
This means the test will not get skipped by default, and will always use
the specific standard dialect that the test requires. This isn't needed
often, and most tests should use an effective target to specify a
minimum standard instead, to allow them to be tested for all
possible variations.
</p><p>
Similarly, tests which depend on a newer standard than the default
should use <code class="literal">dg-options</code> instead of an effective target,
so that they are not skipped by default.
For example, tests for C++17 features should use
</p><pre class="programlisting"> // { dg-options "-std=gnu++17" }</pre><p>
and not

To run the libstdc++ test suite under the <link linkend="manual.ext.debug_mode">debug mode</link>, edit The tests will be compiled with a set of default compiler flags defined
<filename>libstdc++-v3/scripts/testsuite_flags</filename> to add the by the

the tests with different options by adding them to the output of
the <option>--cxxflags</option> option of that script, or by setting
the <varname>CXXFLAGS</varname> variable when running
<command>make</command>, or via options for the DejaGnu test framework
(described below). The latter approach uses the
<option>--target_board</option> option that was shown earlier.
For example, to run the tests with <option>-O1 -D_GLIBCXX_ASSERT</option>
you could use:
<programlisting> make RUNTESTFLAGS=--target_board=unix/-O1/-D_GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS</programlisting>
</para>

The <option>--target_board</option> option can also be used to run the
tests multiple times in different variations. For example, to run the
entire testsuite three times using <option>-O3</option> but with
different <option>-std</option> options:
<programlisting> make 'RUNTESTFLAGS=--target_board=unix/-O3\"{-std=gnu++98,-std=gnu++11,-std=gnu++14}\"'</programlisting>
N.B. that set of variations could also be written as
<literal>unix/-O3\"{-std=gnu++98,-std=gnu++11,}\"</literal> so that

The testsuite uses the DejaGnu framework to compile and run the tests.
Test cases are normal C++ files which contain special directives in
comments. These directives look like <literal>{ dg-* ... }</literal>
and tell DejaGnu what to do and what kinds of behavior are to be expected
for a test. The core DejaGnu directives are documented in the
<filename>dg.exp</filename> file installed by DejaGnu.

Example 6: Compiling and linking a test only for C++14 and later, and only
if Debug Mode is active:
<programlisting>
// { dg-do link { target c++14 } }
// { dg-require-debug-mode "" }
</programlisting>
Example 7: Running a test only on x86 targets, and only for C++11 and later,
with specific options, and additional options for 32-bit x86:
<programlisting>
// { dg-options "-fstrict-enums" }
// { dg-additional-options "-march=i486" { target ia32 } }
// { dg-do run { target { ia32 || x86_64-*-* } } }
// { dg-require-effective-target "c++11" }
</programlisting>
