Exposition only functions
Start and termination functions
Function | Description |
---|---|
_Exit | Terminates program without using destructors or registered functions. |
abort | Terminates program without using destructors. |
atexit | Registers function for program termination. |
exit | Destroys objects with thread and static storage, then returns control. |
at_quick_exit | Registers function without arguments for program termination. |
quick_exit | Registers function with preserved objects for program termination. |
getenv | See C standard library reference. |
system | See C standard library reference. |
_Exit
Remarks
The program is terminated without executing destructors for objects of automatic, thread, or static storage duration and without calling functions passed to atexit()
. The function _Exit
is signal-safe.
abort
Remarks
The program is terminated without executing destructors for objects of automatic, thread, or static storage duration and without calling functions passed to atexit()
. The function abort
is signal-safe.
at_quick_exit
Return Value
Zero if the registration succeeds, non-zero if it fails.
Remarks
The at_quick_exit()
functions register a function func, which is called without arguments when quick_exit
is called. A call to at_quick_exit()
that doesn't happen before all calls to quick_exit
may not succeed. The at_quick_exit()
functions don't introduce a data race. The order of registration may be indeterminate if at_quick_exit
was called from more than one thread. Since at_quick_exit
registrations are distinct from the atexit
registrations, applications may need to call both registration functions using the same argument. MSVC supports the registration of at least 32 functions.
atexit
Remarks
The atexit()
functions register the function pointed to by func to be called without arguments at normal program termination. A call to atexit()
that doesn't happen before a call to exit()
may not succeed. The atexit()
functions don't introduce a data race.
Return Value
Returns zero if the registration succeeds, nonzero if it fails.
exit
Remarks
First, objects with thread storage duration and associated with the current thread are destroyed.
Next, objects with static storage duration are destroyed and functions registered by calling atexit
are called. Automatic objects aren't destroyed when exit()
is called. If control leaves a registered function called by exit
because the function doesn't provide a handler for a thrown exception, std::terminate()
is called. A function is called once for every time it's registered. Objects with automatic storage duration are all destroyed in a program whose main
function contains no automatic objects and executes the call to exit()
. Control can be transferred directly to such a main
function by throwing an exception that's caught in main
.
Next, all open C streams (as mediated by the function signatures declared in <cstdio>) with unwritten buffered data are flushed, all open C streams are closed, and all files created by calling tmpfile()
are removed.
Finally, control is returned to the host environment. When status is zero or EXIT_SUCCESS, an implementation-defined form of the status successful termination is returned. MSVC returns a value of zero. If status is EXIT_FAILURE, MSVC returns a value of 3. Otherwise, MSVC returns the status parameter value.
getenv
quick_exit
Remarks
Generally, functions registered by calls to at_quick_exit
are called in the reverse order of their registration. This order doesn't apply to functions registered after other registered functions have already been called. No objects are destroyed when quick_exit
is called. If control leaves a registered function called by quick_exit
because the function doesn't provide a handler for a thrown exception, std::terminate()
is called. A function registered via at_quick_exit
is invoked by the thread that calls quick_exit
, which can be a different thread than the one that registered it. That means registered functions shouldn't rely on the identity of objects that have thread storage duration. After calling registered functions, quick_exit
calls _Exit(status)
. The standard file buffers aren't flushed. The function quick_exit
is signal-safe when the functions registered with at_quick_exit
are.
system
Memory allocation functions
Remarks
These functions have the semantics specified in the C standard library. MSVC doesn't support the aligned_alloc
function. C11 specified aligned_alloc()
in a way that's incompatible with the Microsoft implementation of free()
, namely, that free()
must be able to handle highly aligned allocations.
Numeric string conversions
Remarks
These functions have the semantics specified in the C standard library.
Multibyte / wide string and character conversion functions
Remarks
These functions have the semantics specified in the C standard library.
Algorithm functions
Remarks
These functions have the semantics specified in the C standard library.
Low-quality random number generation functions
Remarks
These functions have the semantics specified in the C standard library.
Absolute values
Remarks
These functions have the semantics specified in the C standard library.
Integer division
Remarks
These functions have the semantics specified in the C standard library.

In the C++ programming language, the C++ Standard Library is a collection of classes and functions, which are written in the core language and part of the C++ ISO Standard itself.[1]
Overview[edit]
The C++ Standard Library provides several generic containers, functions to utilize and manipulate these containers, function objects, generic strings and streams (including interactive and file I/O), support for some language features, and functions for everyday tasks such as finding the square root of a number. The C++ Standard Library also incorporates 18 headers of the ISO C90C standard library ending with '.h', but their use is deprecated.[2] No other headers in the C++ Standard Library end in '.h'. Features of the C++ Standard Library are declared within the std
namespace.
The C++ Standard Library is based upon conventions introduced by the Standard Template Library (STL), and has been influenced by research in generic programming and developers of the STL such as Alexander Stepanov and Meng Lee.[3][4] Although the C++ Standard Library and the STL share many features, neither is a strict superset of the other.
A noteworthy feature of the C++ Standard Library is that it not only specifies the syntax and semantics of generic algorithms, but also places requirements on their performance.[5] These performance requirements often correspond to a well-known algorithm, which is expected but not required to be used. In most cases this requires linear time O(n) or linearithmic time O(n log n), but in some cases higher bounds are allowed, such as quasilinear time O(n log2n) for stable sort (to allow in-place merge sort). Previously, sorting was only required to take O(n log n) on average, allowing the use of quicksort, which is fast in practice but has poor worst-case performance, but introsort was introduced to allow both fast average performance and optimal worst-case complexity, and as of C++11, sorting is guaranteed to be at worst linearithmic. In other cases requirements remain laxer, such as selection, which is only required to be linear on average (as in quickselect),[6] not requiring worst-case linear as in introselect.
The C++ Standard Library underwent ISO standardization as part of the C++ ISO Standardization effort, and is undergoing further work[7] regarding standardization of expanded functionality.
Implementations[edit]
At CppCon 2019 on September 16th, 2019, Microsoft announced releasing their implementation of the C++ Standard Library (also known as the STL) as open source.[8] It is hosted on GitHub and licensed under the Apache License 2.0 with LLVM Exception.[9][10]
The Apache C++ Standard Library is another open source implementation. It was originally developed commercially by Rogue Wave Software and later donated to the Apache Software Foundation.[11] However, after more than five years without a release, the board of the Apache Software Foundation decided to end this project and move it to Apache Attic.[12]

C standard library[edit]
Each header from the C Standard Library is included in the C++ Standard Library under a different name, generated by removing the .h, and adding a 'c' at the start; for example, 'time.h' becomes 'ctime'. The only difference between these headers and the traditional C Standard Library headers is that where possible the functions should be placed into the std:: namespace. In ISO C, functions in the standard library are allowed to be implemented by macros, which is not allowed by ISO C++.
