<p>This question has become moot and has been removed. The stub

<h2><a name="5_5">5.5 Does libstdc++ support TR1?</a></h2>
<p>The C++ Standard Library Technical Report adds many new features to the library.
The latest version of this effort is described in
<a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2005/n1836.pdf">
Technical Report 1</a>.
</p>
<p>libstdc++ strives to implement all of TR1.
The libstdc++ implementation status of the TR1 draft is listed in
<a href="../ext/tr1.html">this page</a>.
</p>
<p>Briefly, the features of TR1 and the current status are:
</p>
<p><strong>Unordered containers - Complete -</strong>
The unordered_set, unordered_map, unordered_multiset, and unordered_multimap containers
are hashed versions of the map, set, multimap, and multiset containers respectively.
These classes are suitable replacements for the SGI STL hash_map and hash_set extensions.
</p>
<p><strong>Reference-counted smart pointers - Complete -</strong>
The shared_ptr and weak_ptr allow several object to know about a pointer and whether it is valid.
When the last reference to the pointer is destroyed the pointer is freed.
</p>
<p><strong>Type traits - Complete -</strong>
The type_traits class gives templates the ability to probe information about the input type
and enable type-dependent logic to be performed without the need of template specializations.
</p>
<p><strong>Fixed-size arrays - Complete -</strong>
The array class implements small fixed-sized arrays with container semantics.
</p>
<p><strong>Tuples - Complete -</strong>
The tuple class implements small heterogeneous arrays. This is an enhanced pair.
In fact, the standard pair is enhanced with a tuple interface.
</p>
<p><strong>A regular expression engine</strong>
This library provides for regular expression objects with traversal of
text with return of subexpressions.
</p>
<p><strong>A random number engine</strong>
This library contains randow number generators with several different choices
of distribution.
</p>
<p><strong>Special functions - Under construction - </strong>
Twenty-three mathematical functions familiar to physicists and engineers are included:
cylindrical and spherical Bessel and Neumann functions, hypergeometric functions,
Laguerre polynomials, Legendre functions, elliptic integrals, exponential integrals
and the Riemann zeta function all for your computing pleasure.
</p>
<p><strong>C99 compatibility - Under construction - </strong>
There are many features designed to minimize the divergence of the C and the C++ languages.
