17 Language support library [support]

17.1 General [support.general]

This Clause describes the function signatures that are called implicitly, and the types of objects generated implicitly, during the execution of some C++ programs.

It also describes the headers that declare these function signatures and define any related types.

The following subclauses describe common type definitions used throughout the library, characteristics of the predefined types, functions supporting start and termination of a C++ program, support for dynamic memory management, support for dynamic type identification, support for exception processing, support for initializer lists, and other runtime support, as summarized in Table 42 .

17.2 Common definitions [support.types]

17.2.1 Header <cstddef> synopsis [cstddef.syn]

// all freestanding namespace std { using ptrdiff_t = see below; using size_t = see below; using max_align_t = see below; using nullptr_t = decltype(nullptr); enum class byte : unsigned char {}; // [support.types.byteops], byte type operations template<class IntType> constexpr byte& operator<<=(byte& b, IntType shift) noexcept; template<class IntType> constexpr byte operator<<(byte b, IntType shift) noexcept; template<class IntType> constexpr byte& operator>>=(byte& b, IntType shift) noexcept; template<class IntType> constexpr byte operator>>(byte b, IntType shift) noexcept; constexpr byte& operator|=(byte& l, byte r) noexcept; constexpr byte operator|(byte l, byte r) noexcept; constexpr byte& operator&=(byte& l, byte r) noexcept; constexpr byte operator&(byte l, byte r) noexcept; constexpr byte& operator^=(byte& l, byte r) noexcept; constexpr byte operator^(byte l, byte r) noexcept; constexpr byte operator~(byte b) noexcept; template<class IntType> constexpr IntType to_integer(byte b) noexcept; } #define NULL see below #define offsetof(P, D) see below

The contents and meaning of the header are the same as the C standard library header <stddef.h>, except that it does not declare the type wchar_t, that it also declares the type byte and its associated operations ([support.types.byteops]), and as noted in [support.types.nullptr] and [support.types.layout].

The contents and meaning of the header <cstdlib> are the same as the C standard library header <stdlib.h>, except that it does not declare the type wchar_t, and except as noted in [support.types.nullptr], [support.types.layout], [support.start.term], [c.malloc], [c.mb.wcs], [alg.c.library], [c.math.rand], and [c.math.abs].

[Note 1:

Several functions have additional overloads in this document, but they have the same behavior as in the C standard library .

— end note]

17.2.3 Null pointers [support.types.nullptr]

The type nullptr_t is a synonym for the type of a nullptr expression, and it has the characteristics described in [basic.fundamental] and [conv.ptr].

[Note 1:

Although nullptr's address cannot be taken, the address of another nullptr_t object that is an lvalue can be taken.

— end note]

The macro NULL is an implementation-defined null pointer constant.161

17.2.4 Sizes, alignments, and offsets [support.types.layout]

The macro offsetof(type, member-designator) has the same semantics as the corresponding macro in the C standard library header <stddef.h>, but accepts a restricted set of type arguments in this document.

Use of the offsetof macro with a type other than a standard-layout class ([class.prop]) is conditionally-supported.162

The expression offsetof(type, member-designator) is never type-dependent and it is value-dependent if and only if type is dependent.

The result of applying the offsetof macro to a static data member or a function member is undefined.

No operation invoked by the offsetof macro shall throw an exception and noexcept(offsetof(type, member-designator)) shall be true.

The type ptrdiff_t is an implementation-defined signed integer type that can hold the difference of two subscripts in an array object, as described in [expr.add].

The type size_t is an implementation-defined unsigned integer type that is large enough to contain the size in bytes of any object ([expr.sizeof]).

Recommended practice: An implementation should choose types for ptrdiff_t and size_t whose integer conversion ranks ([conv.rank]) are no greater than that of signed long int unless a larger size is necessary to contain all the possible values.

The type max_align_t is a trivially copyable standard-layout type whose alignment requirement is at least as great as that of every scalar type, and whose alignment requirement is supported in every context ([basic.align]).

std::is_trivially_default_constructible_v<max_align_t> is true.

17.3 Implementation properties [support.limits]

17.3.1 General [support.limits.general]

The headers <limits>, <climits>, and <cfloat> supply characteristics of implementation-dependent arithmetic types ([basic.fundamental]).

17.3.2 Header <version> synopsis [version.syn]

The header supplies implementation-dependent information about the C++ standard library (e.g., version number and release date).

Each of the macros defined in <version> is also defined after inclusion of any member of the set of library headers indicated in the corresponding comment in this synopsis.

[Note 1:

Future revisions of this document might replace the values of these macros with greater values.

For all members declared static constexpr in the numeric_limits template, specializations shall define these values in such a way that they are usable as constant expressions.

For the numeric_limits primary template, all data members are value-initialized and all member functions return a value-initialized object.

[Note 1:

This means all members have zero or false values unless numeric_limits is specialized for a type.

— end note]

Specializations shall be provided for each arithmetic type, both floating-point and integer, including bool.

The member is_specialized shall be true for all such specializations of numeric_limits.

The value of each member of a specialization of numeric_limits on a cv-qualified type cv T shall be equal to the value of the corresponding member of the specialization on the unqualified type T.

Non-arithmetic standard types, such as complex<T>, shall not have specializations.

17.3.5.2 numeric_limits members [numeric.limits.members]

Each member function defined in this subclause is signal-safe ([support.signal]).

[Note 1:

The arithmetic specification described in ISO/IEC 10967-1:2012 is commonly termed LIA-1.

17.4.2 Header <stdfloat> synopsis [stdfloat.syn]

The header <stdfloat> defines type aliases for the optional extended floating-point types that are specified in [basic.extended.fp].

🔗

namespace std { #if defined(__STDCPP_FLOAT16_T__) using float16_t = implementation-defined; // see [basic.extended.fp] #endif #if defined(__STDCPP_FLOAT32_T__) using float32_t = implementation-defined; // see [basic.extended.fp] #endif #if defined(__STDCPP_FLOAT64_T__) using float64_t = implementation-defined; // see [basic.extended.fp] #endif #if defined(__STDCPP_FLOAT128_T__) using float128_t = implementation-defined; // see [basic.extended.fp] #endif #if defined(__STDCPP_BFLOAT16_T__) using bfloat16_t = implementation-defined; // see [basic.extended.fp] #endif }

17.5 Startup and termination [support.start.term]

[Note 1:

The header <cstdlib> declares the functions described in this subclause.

— end note]

🔗

[[noreturn]] void _Exit(int status) noexcept;

Effects: This function has the semantics specified in the C standard library.

Remarks: The program is terminated without executing destructors for objects of automatic, thread, or static storage duration and without calling functions passed to atexit() ([basic.start.term]).

The function _Exit is signal-safe .

🔗

[[noreturn]] void abort() noexcept;

Effects: This function has the semantics specified in the C standard library.

Remarks: The program is terminated without executing destructors for objects of automatic, thread, or static storage duration and without calling functions passed to atexit() ([basic.start.term]).

The function abort is signal-safe .

🔗

int atexit(c-atexit-handler* f) noexcept;
int atexit(atexit-handler* f) noexcept;

Effects: The atexit() functions register the function pointed to by f to be called without arguments at normal program termination.

It is unspecified whether a call to atexit() that does not happen before a call to exit() will succeed.

[Note 2:

The atexit() functions do not introduce a data race ([res.on.data.races]).

— end note]

Implementation limits: The implementation shall support the registration of at least 32 functions.

Returns: The atexit() function returns zero if the registration succeeds, nonzero if it fails.

🔗

[[noreturn]] void exit(int status);

Effects:

(9.1)
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.188

See [basic.start.term] for the order of destructions and calls.

(Objects with automatic storage duration are not destroyed as a result of calling exit().)189
If a registered function invoked by exit exits via an exception, the function std::terminate is invoked ([except.terminate]).
(9.2)
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.
(9.3)
Finally, control is returned to the host environment.

If status is zero or EXIT_SUCCESS, an implementation-defined form of the status successful termination is returned.

If status is EXIT_FAILURE, an implementation-defined form of the status unsuccessful termination is returned.

Otherwise the status returned is implementation-defined.190

🔗

int at_quick_exit(c-atexit-handler* f) noexcept;
int at_quick_exit(atexit-handler* f) noexcept;

Effects: The at_quick_exit() functions register the function pointed to by f to be called without arguments when quick_exit is called.

It is unspecified whether a call to at_quick_exit() that does not happen before all calls to quick_exit will succeed.

[Note 3:

The at_quick_exit() functions do not introduce a data race ([res.on.data.races]).

— end note]

[Note 4:

The order of registration could be indeterminate if at_quick_exit was called from more than one thread.

— end note]

[Note 5:

The at_quick_exit registrations are distinct from the atexit registrations, and applications might need to call both registration functions with the same argument.

— end note]

Implementation limits: The implementation shall support the registration of at least 32 functions.

Returns: Zero if the registration succeeds, nonzero if it fails.

🔗

[[noreturn]] void quick_exit(int status) noexcept;

Effects: Functions registered by calls to at_quick_exit are called in the reverse order of their registration, except that a function shall be called after any previously registered functions that had already been called at the time it was registered.

Objects shall not be destroyed as a result of calling quick_exit.

If a registered function invoked by quick_exit exits via an exception, the function std::terminate is invoked ([except.terminate]).

[Note 6:

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, so registered functions cannot rely on the identity of objects with thread storage duration.

— end note]

After calling registered functions, quick_exit shall call _Exit(status).

Remarks: The function quick_exit is signal-safe when the functions registered with at_quick_exit are.

17.6 Dynamic memory management [support.dynamic]

17.6.1 General [support.dynamic.general]

The header defines several functions that manage the allocation of dynamic storage in a program.

It also defines components for reporting storage management errors.

17.6.2 Header <new> synopsis [new.syn]

// all freestanding namespace std { // [alloc.errors], storage allocation errors class bad_alloc; class bad_array_new_length; struct destroying_delete_t { explicit destroying_delete_t() = default; }; inline constexpr destroying_delete_t destroying_delete{}; // global operator new control enum class align_val_t : size_t {}; struct nothrow_t { explicit nothrow_t() = default; }; extern const nothrow_t nothrow; using new_handler = void (*)(); new_handler get_new_handler() noexcept; new_handler set_new_handler(new_handler new_p) noexcept; // [ptr.launder], pointer optimization barrier template<class T> constexpr T* launder(T* p) noexcept; // [hardware.interference], hardware interference size inline constexpr size_t hardware_destructive_interference_size = implementation-defined; inline constexpr size_t hardware_constructive_interference_size = implementation-defined; } // [new.delete], storage allocation and deallocation void* operator new(std::size_t size); void* operator new(std::size_t size, std::align_val_t alignment); void* operator new(std::size_t size, const std::nothrow_t&) noexcept; void* operator new(std::size_t size, std::align_val_t alignment, const std::nothrow_t&) noexcept; void operator delete(void* ptr) noexcept; void operator delete(void* ptr, std::size_t size) noexcept; void operator delete(void* ptr, std::align_val_t alignment) noexcept; void operator delete(void* ptr, std::size_t size, std::align_val_t alignment) noexcept; void operator delete(void* ptr, const std::nothrow_t&) noexcept; void operator delete(void* ptr, std::align_val_t alignment, const std::nothrow_t&) noexcept; void* operator new[](std::size_t size); void* operator new[](std::size_t size, std::align_val_t alignment); void* operator new[](std::size_t size, const std::nothrow_t&) noexcept; void* operator new[](std::size_t size, std::align_val_t alignment, const std::nothrow_t&) noexcept; void operator delete[](void* ptr) noexcept; void operator delete[](void* ptr, std::size_t size) noexcept; void operator delete[](void* ptr, std::align_val_t alignment) noexcept; void operator delete[](void* ptr, std::size_t size, std::align_val_t alignment) noexcept; void operator delete[](void* ptr, const std::nothrow_t&) noexcept; void operator delete[](void* ptr, std::align_val_t alignment, const std::nothrow_t&) noexcept; constexpr void* operator new (std::size_t size, void* ptr) noexcept; constexpr void* operator new[](std::size_t size, void* ptr) noexcept; void operator delete (void* ptr, void*) noexcept; void operator delete[](void* ptr, void*) noexcept;

17.6.3 Storage allocation and deallocation [new.delete]

17.6.3.1 General [new.delete.general]

Except where otherwise specified, the provisions of [basic.stc.dynamic] apply to the library versions of operator new and operator delete.

If the value of an alignment argument passed to any of these functions is not a valid alignment value, the behavior is undefined.

On freestanding implementations, it is implementation-defined whether the default versions of the replaceable global allocation functions satisfy the required behaviors described in [new.delete.single] and [new.delete.array].

[Note 1:

A freestanding implementation's default versions of the replaceable global allocation functions can cause undefined behavior when invoked.

During constant evaluation, the behaviors of those default versions are irrelevant, as those calls are omitted ([expr.new]).

— end note]

Recommended practice: If any of the default versions of the replaceable global allocation functions meet the requirements of a hosted implementation, they all should.

17.6.3.2 Single-object forms [new.delete.single]

🔗

void* operator new(std::size_t size);
void* operator new(std::size_t size, std::align_val_t alignment);

Effects: The allocation functions called by a new-expression ([expr.new]) to allocate size bytes of storage.

The second form is called for a type with new-extended alignment, and the first form is called otherwise.

Replaceable: A C++ program may define functions with either of these function signatures, and thereby displace the default versions defined by the C++ standard library.

Required behavior: Return a non-null pointer to suitably aligned storage ([basic.stc.dynamic]), or else throw a bad_alloc exception.

This requirement is binding on any replacement versions of these functions.

Default behavior:

(4.1)
Executes a loop: Within the loop, the function first attempts to allocate the requested storage.

Whether the attempt involves a call to the C standard library functions malloc or aligned_alloc is unspecified.
(4.2)
Returns a pointer to the allocated storage if the attempt is successful.

Otherwise, if the current new_handler ([get.new.handler]) is a null pointer value, throws bad_alloc.
(4.3)
Otherwise, the function calls the current new_handler function.

If the called function returns, the loop repeats.
(4.4)
The loop terminates when an attempt to allocate the requested storage is successful or when a called new_handler function does not return.

🔗

void* operator new(std::size_t size, const std::nothrow_t&) noexcept;
void* operator new(std::size_t size, std::align_val_t alignment, const std::nothrow_t&) noexcept;

Effects: Same as above, except that these are called by a placement version of a new-expression when a C++ program prefers a null pointer result as an error indication, instead of a bad_alloc exception.

Replaceable: A C++ program may define functions with either of these function signatures, and thereby displace the default versions defined by the C++ standard library.

Required behavior: Return a non-null pointer to suitably aligned storage ([basic.stc.dynamic]), or else return a null pointer.

Each of these nothrow versions of operator new returns a pointer obtained as if acquired from the (possibly replaced) corresponding non-placement function.

This requirement is binding on any replacement versions of these functions.

Default behavior: Calls operator new(size), or operator new(size, alignment), respectively.

If the call returns normally, returns the result of that call.

Otherwise, returns a null pointer.

[Example 1: T* p1 = new T; // throws bad_alloc if it fails T* p2 = new(nothrow) T; // returns nullptr if it fails — end example]

🔗

void operator delete(void* ptr) noexcept;
void operator delete(void* ptr, std::size_t size) noexcept;
void operator delete(void* ptr, std::align_val_t alignment) noexcept;
void operator delete(void* ptr, std::size_t size, std::align_val_t alignment) noexcept;

Preconditions: ptr is a null pointer or its value represents the address of a block of memory allocated by an earlier call to a (possibly replaced) operator new(std::size_t) or operator new(std::size_t, std::align_val_t) which has not been invalidated by an intervening call to operator delete.

If the alignment parameter is not present, ptr was returned by an allocation function without an alignment parameter.

If present, the alignment argument is equal to the alignment argument passed to the allocation function that returned ptr.

If present, the size argument is equal to the size argument passed to the allocation function that returned ptr.

Effects: The deallocation functions ([basic.stc.dynamic.deallocation]) called by a delete-expression ([expr.delete]) to render the value of ptr invalid.

Replaceable: A C++ program may define functions with any of these function signatures, and thereby displace the default versions defined by the C++ standard library.

If a function without a size parameter is defined, the program should also define the corresponding function with a size parameter.

If a function with a size parameter is defined, the program shall also define the corresponding version without the size parameter.

[Note 1:

The default behavior below might change in the future, which will require replacing both deallocation functions when replacing the allocation function.

— end note]

Required behavior: A call to an operator delete with a size parameter may be changed to a call to the corresponding operator delete without a size parameter, without affecting memory allocation.

[Note 2:

A conforming implementation is for operator delete(void* ptr, std::size_t size) to simply call operator delete(ptr).

— end note]

Default behavior: The functions that have a size parameter forward their other parameters to the corresponding function without a size parameter.

[Note 3:

See the note in the above Replaceable: paragraph.

— end note]

Default behavior: If ptr is null, does nothing.

Otherwise, reclaims the storage allocated by the earlier call to operator new.

Remarks: It is unspecified under what conditions part or all of such reclaimed storage will be allocated by subsequent calls to operator new or any of aligned_alloc, calloc, malloc, or realloc, declared in <cstdlib>.

🔗

void operator delete(void* ptr, const std::nothrow_t&) noexcept;
void operator delete(void* ptr, std::align_val_t alignment, const std::nothrow_t&) noexcept;

If the alignment parameter is not present, ptr was returned by an allocation function without an alignment parameter.

If present, the alignment argument is equal to the alignment argument passed to the allocation function that returned ptr.

Effects: The deallocation functions ([basic.stc.dynamic.deallocation]) called by the implementation to render the value of ptr invalid when the constructor invoked from a nothrow placement version of the new-expression throws an exception.

Replaceable: A C++ program may define functions with either of these function signatures, and thereby displace the default versions defined by the C++ standard library.

Default behavior: Calls operator delete(ptr), or operator delete(ptr, alignment), respectively.

17.6.3.3 Array forms [new.delete.array]

🔗

void* operator new[](std::size_t size);
void* operator new[](std::size_t size, std::align_val_t alignment);

Effects: The allocation functions called by the array form of a new-expression ([expr.new]) to allocate size bytes of storage.

The second form is called for a type with new-extended alignment, and the first form is called otherwise.191

Replaceable: A C++ program may define functions with either of these function signatures, and thereby displace the default versions defined by the C++ standard library.

Required behavior: Same as for the corresponding single-object forms.

This requirement is binding on any replacement versions of these functions.

Default behavior: Returns operator new(size), or operator new(size, alignment), respectively.

🔗

void* operator new[](std::size_t size, const std::nothrow_t&) noexcept;
void* operator new[](std::size_t size, std::align_val_t alignment, const std::nothrow_t&) noexcept;

Replaceable: A C++ program may define functions with either of these function signatures, and thereby displace the default versions defined by the C++ standard library.

Required behavior: Return a non-null pointer to suitably aligned storage ([basic.stc.dynamic]), or else return a null pointer.

Each of these nothrow versions of operator new[] returns a pointer obtained as if acquired from the (possibly replaced) corresponding non-placement function.

This requirement is binding on any replacement versions of these functions.

Default behavior: Calls operator new[](size), or operator new[](size, alignment), respectively.

If the call returns normally, returns the result of that call.

Otherwise, returns a null pointer.

🔗

void operator delete[](void* ptr) noexcept;
void operator delete[](void* ptr, std::size_t size) noexcept;
void operator delete[](void* ptr, std::align_val_t alignment) noexcept;
void operator delete[](void* ptr, std::size_t size, std::align_val_t alignment) noexcept;

Preconditions: ptr is a null pointer or its value represents the address of a block of memory allocated by an earlier call to a (possibly replaced) operator new[](std::size_t) or operator new[](std::size_t, std::align_val_t) which has not been invalidated by an intervening call to operator delete[].

If the alignment parameter is not present, ptr was returned by an allocation function without an alignment parameter.

If present, the alignment argument is equal to the alignment argument passed to the allocation function that returned ptr.

If present, the size argument is equal to the size argument passed to the allocation function that returned ptr.

Effects: The deallocation functions ([basic.stc.dynamic.deallocation]) called by the array form of a delete-expression to render the value of ptr invalid.

Replaceable: A C++ program may define functions with any of these function signatures, and thereby displace the default versions defined by the C++ standard library.

If a function without a size parameter is defined, the program should also define the corresponding function with a size parameter.

If a function with a size parameter is defined, the program shall also define the corresponding version without the size parameter.

[Note 1:

The default behavior below might change in the future, which will require replacing both deallocation functions when replacing the allocation function.

— end note]

Required behavior: A call to an operator delete[] with a size parameter may be changed to a call to the corresponding operator delete[] without a size parameter, without affecting memory allocation.

[Note 2:

A conforming implementation is for operator delete[](void* ptr, std::size_t size) to simply call operator delete[](ptr).

— end note]

Default behavior: The functions that have a size parameter forward their other parameters to the corresponding function without a size parameter.

The functions that do not have a size parameter forward their parameters to the corresponding operator delete (single-object) function.

🔗

void operator delete[](void* ptr, const std::nothrow_t&) noexcept;
void operator delete[](void* ptr, std::align_val_t alignment, const std::nothrow_t&) noexcept;

If the alignment parameter is not present, ptr was returned by an allocation function without an alignment parameter.

If present, the alignment argument is equal to the alignment argument passed to the allocation function that returned ptr.

Replaceable: A C++ program may define functions with either of these function signatures, and thereby displace the default versions defined by the C++ standard library.

Default behavior: Calls operator delete[](ptr), or operator delete[](ptr, alignment), respectively.

191)191)

It is not the direct responsibility of operator new[] or operator delete[] to note the repetition count or element size of the array.

Those operations are performed elsewhere in the array new and delete expressions.

The array new expression, can, however, increase the size argument to operator new[] to obtain space to store supplemental information.

17.6.3.4 Non-allocating forms [new.delete.placement]

These functions are reserved; a C++ program may not define functions that displace the versions in the C++ standard library ([constraints]).

The provisions of [basic.stc.dynamic] do not apply to these reserved placement forms of operator new and operator delete.

🔗

constexpr void* operator new(std::size_t size, void* ptr) noexcept;

Returns: ptr.

Remarks: Intentionally performs no other action.

[Example 1:

This can be useful for constructing an object at a known address: void* place = operator new(sizeof(Something)); Something* p = new (place) Something();

— end example]

🔗

constexpr void* operator new[](std::size_t size, void* ptr) noexcept;

Returns: ptr.

Remarks: Intentionally performs no other action.

🔗

void operator delete(void* ptr, void*) noexcept;

Effects: Intentionally performs no action.

Remarks: Default function called when any part of the initialization in a placement new-expression that invokes the library's non-array placement operator new terminates by throwing an exception ([expr.new]).

🔗

void operator delete[](void* ptr, void*) noexcept;

Effects: Intentionally performs no action.

Remarks: Default function called when any part of the initialization in a placement new-expression that invokes the library's array placement operator new terminates by throwing an exception ([expr.new]).

17.6.3.5 Data races [new.delete.dataraces]

For purposes of determining the existence of data races, the library versions of operator new, user replacement versions of global operator new, the C standard library functions aligned_alloc, calloc, and malloc, the library versions of operator delete, user replacement versions of operator delete, the C standard library function free, and the C standard library function realloc shall not introduce a data race ([res.on.data.races]).

Calls to these functions that allocate or deallocate a particular unit of storage shall occur in a single total order, and each such deallocation call shall happen before the next allocation (if any) in this order.

17.6.4 Storage allocation errors [alloc.errors]

17.6.4.1 Class bad_alloc [bad.alloc]

🔗

namespace std { class bad_alloc : public exception { public: // see [exception] for the specification of the special member functions constexpr const char* what() const noexcept override; }; }

The class bad_alloc defines the type of objects thrown as exceptions by the implementation to report a failure to allocate storage.

🔗

constexpr const char* what() const noexcept override;

Returns: An implementation-defined ntbs.

17.6.4.2 Class bad_array_new_length [new.badlength]

namespace std { class bad_array_new_length : public bad_alloc { public: // see [exception] for the specification of the special member functions constexpr const char* what() const noexcept override; }; }

The class bad_array_new_length defines the type of objects thrown as exceptions by the implementation to report an attempt to allocate an array of size less than zero or greater than an implementation-defined limit ([expr.new]).

🔗

constexpr const char* what() const noexcept override;

Returns: An implementation-defined ntbs.

17.6.4.3 Type new_handler [new.handler]

🔗

using new_handler = void (*)();

The type of a handler function to be called by operator new() or operator new[]() ([new.delete]) when they cannot satisfy a request for additional storage.

Required behavior: A new_handler shall perform one of the following:

(2.1)
make more storage available for allocation and then return;
(2.2)
throw an exception of type bad_alloc or a class derived from bad_alloc;
(2.3)
terminate execution of the program without returning to the caller.

17.6.4.4 set_new_handler [set.new.handler]

🔗

new_handler set_new_handler(new_handler new_p) noexcept;

Effects: Establishes the function designated by new_p as the current new_handler.

Returns: The previous new_handler.

Remarks: The initial new_handler is a null pointer.

17.6.4.5 get_new_handler [get.new.handler]

🔗

new_handler get_new_handler() noexcept;

Returns: The current new_handler.

[Note 1:

This can be a null pointer value.

— end note]

17.6.5 Pointer optimization barrier [ptr.launder]

🔗

template<class T> constexpr T* launder(T* p) noexcept;

Mandates: !is_function_v<T> && !is_void_v<T> is true.

Preconditions: p represents the address A of a byte in memory.

An object X that is within its lifetime and whose type is similar to T is located at the address A.

All bytes of storage that would be reachable through ([basic.compound]) the result are reachable through p.

Returns: A value of type T* that points to X.

Remarks: An invocation of this function may be used in a core constant expression if and only if the (converted) value of its argument may be used in place of the function invocation.

[Note 1:

If a new object is created in storage occupied by an existing object of the same type, a pointer to the original object can be used to refer to the new object unless its complete object is a const object or it is a base class subobject; in the latter cases, this function can be used to obtain a usable pointer to the new object.

See [basic.life].

— end note]

[Example 1: struct X { int n; }; const X *p = new const X{3}; const int a = p->n; new (const_cast<X*>(p)) const X{5}; // p does not point to new object ([basic.life]) because its type is const const int b = p->n; // undefined behavior const int c = std::launder(p)->n; // OK — end example]

17.6.6 Hardware interference size [hardware.interference]

🔗

inline constexpr size_t hardware_destructive_interference_size = implementation-defined;

This number is the minimum recommended offset between two concurrently-accessed objects to avoid additional performance degradation due to contention introduced by the implementation.

It shall be at least alignof(max_align_t).

[Example 1: struct keep_apart { alignas(hardware_destructive_interference_size) atomic<int> cat; alignas(hardware_destructive_interference_size) atomic<int> dog; }; — end example]

🔗

inline constexpr size_t hardware_constructive_interference_size = implementation-defined;

This number is the maximum recommended size of contiguous memory occupied by two objects accessed with temporal locality by concurrent threads.

It shall be at least alignof(max_align_t).

[Example 2: struct together { atomic<int> dog; int puppy; }; struct kennel { // Other data members... alignas(sizeof(together)) together pack; // Other data members... }; static_assert(sizeof(together) <= hardware_constructive_interference_size); — end example]

17.7 Type identification [support.rtti]

17.7.1 General [support.rtti.general]

The header <typeinfo> defines a type associated with type information generated by the implementation.

It also defines two types for reporting dynamic type identification errors.

The header <typeindex> defines a wrapper type for use as an index type in associative containers ([associative]) and in unordered associative containers ([unord]).

17.7.2 Header <typeinfo> synopsis [typeinfo.syn]

17.7.3 Class type_info [type.info]

🔗

The class type_info describes type information generated by the implementation ([expr.typeid]).

Objects of this class effectively store a pointer to a name for the type, and an encoded value suitable for comparing two types for equality or collating order.

The names, encoding rule, and collating sequence for types are all unspecified and may differ between programs.

🔗

constexpr bool operator==(const type_info& rhs) const noexcept;

Effects: Compares the current object with rhs.

Returns: true if the two values describe the same type.

🔗

bool before(const type_info& rhs) const noexcept;

Effects: Compares the current object with rhs.

Returns: true if *this precedes rhs in the implementation's collation order.

🔗

size_t hash_code() const noexcept;

Returns: An unspecified value, except that within a single execution of the program, it shall return the same value for any two type_info objects which compare equal.

Remarks: An implementation should return different values for two type_info objects which do not compare equal.

🔗

const char* name() const noexcept;

Returns: An implementation-defined ntbs.

Remarks: The message may be a null-terminated multibyte string, suitable for conversion and display as a wstring ([string.classes], [locale.codecvt]).

17.7.4 Class bad_cast [bad.cast]

🔗

namespace std { class bad_cast : public exception { public: // see [exception] for the specification of the special member functions constexpr const char* what() const noexcept override; }; }

The class bad_cast defines the type of objects thrown as exceptions by the implementation to report the execution of an invalid dynamic_cast expression ([expr.dynamic.cast]).

🔗

constexpr const char* what() const noexcept override;

Returns: An implementation-defined ntbs.

17.7.5 Class bad_typeid [bad.typeid]

17.8 Source location [support.srcloc]

17.8.1 Header <source_location> synopsis [source.location.syn]

The header defines the class source_location that provides a means to obtain source location information.

// all freestanding namespace std { struct source_location; }

17.8.2 Class source_location [support.srcloc.class]

17.8.2.1 General [support.srcloc.class.general]

🔗

namespace std { struct source_location { // source location construction static consteval source_location current() noexcept; constexpr source_location() noexcept; // source location field access constexpr uint_least32_t line() const noexcept; constexpr uint_least32_t column() const noexcept; constexpr const char* file_name() const noexcept; constexpr const char* function_name() const noexcept; private: uint_least32_t line_; // exposition only uint_least32_t column_; // exposition only const char* file_name_; // exposition only const char* function_name_; // exposition only }; }

The type source_location meets the Cpp17DefaultConstructible, Cpp17CopyConstructible, Cpp17CopyAssignable, Cpp17Swappable, and Cpp17Destructible requirements ([utility.arg.requirements], [swappable.requirements]).

All of the following conditions are true:

(1.1)
is_nothrow_move_constructible_v<source_location>
(1.2)
is_nothrow_move_assignable_v<source_location>
(1.3)
is_nothrow_swappable_v<source_location>

[Note 1:

The intent of source_location is to have a small size and efficient copying.

It is unspecified whether the copy/move constructors and the copy/move assignment operators are trivial and/or constexpr.

— end note]

The data members file_name_ and function_name_ always each refer to an ntbs.

The copy/move constructors and the copy/move assignment operators of source_location meet the following postconditions: Given two objects lhs and rhs of type source_location, where lhs is a copy/move result of rhs, and where rhs_p is a value denoting the state of rhs before the corresponding copy/move operation, then each of the following conditions is true:

(3.1)
strcmp(lhs.file_name(), rhs_p.file_name()) == 0
(3.2)
strcmp(lhs.function_name(), rhs_p.function_name()) == 0
(3.3)
lhs.line() == rhs_p.line()
(3.4)
lhs.column() == rhs_p.column()

17.8.2.2 Creation [support.srcloc.cons]

🔗

static consteval source_location current() noexcept;

Returns:

(1.1)

When invoked by a function call whose postfix-expression is a (possibly parenthesized) id-expression naming current, returns a source_location with an implementation-defined value.

The value should be affected by #line ([cpp.line]) in the same manner as for __LINE__ and __FILE__.

The values of the exposition-only data members of the returned source_location object are indicated in Table 43 .

Table 43: Value of object returned by current [tab:support.srcloc.current]

🔗	Element	Value
🔗	line_	A presumed line number ([cpp.predefined]). Line numbers are presumed to be 1-indexed; however, an implementation is encouraged to use 0 when the line number is unknown.
🔗	column_	An implementation-defined value denoting some offset from the start of the line denoted by line_. Column numbers are presumed to be 1-indexed; however, an implementation is encouraged to use 0 when the column number is unknown.
🔗	file_name_	A presumed name of the current source file ([cpp.predefined]) as an ntbs.
🔗	function_name_	A name of the current function such as in __func__ ([dcl.fct.def.general]) if any, an empty string otherwise.

(1.2)
Otherwise, when invoked in some other way, returns a source_location whose data members are initialized with valid but unspecified values.

Remarks: Any call to current that appears as a default member initializer ([class.mem]), or as a subexpression thereof, should correspond to the location of the constructor definition or aggregate initialization that uses the default member initializer.

Any call to current that appears as a default argument ([dcl.fct.default]), or as a subexpression thereof, should correspond to the location of the invocation of the function that uses the default argument ([expr.call]).

[Example 1: struct s { source_location member = source_location::current(); int other_member; s(source_location loc = source_location::current()) : member(loc) // values of member refer to the location of the calling function ([dcl.fct.default]) {} s(int blather) : // values of member refer to this location other_member(blather) {} s(double) // values of member refer to this location {} }; void f(source_location a = source_location::current()) { source_location b = source_location::current(); // values in b refer to this line } void g() { f(); // f's first argument corresponds to this line of code source_location c = source_location::current(); f(c); // f's first argument gets the same values as c, above } — end example]

17.9 Exception handling [support.exception]

17.9.1 General [support.exception.general]

The header defines several types and functions related to the handling of exceptions in a C++ program.

17.9.2 Header <exception> synopsis [exception.syn]

// all freestanding namespace std { class exception; class bad_exception; class nested_exception; using terminate_handler = void (*)(); terminate_handler get_terminate() noexcept; terminate_handler set_terminate(terminate_handler f) noexcept; [[noreturn]] void terminate() noexcept; constexpr int uncaught_exceptions() noexcept; using exception_ptr = unspecified; constexpr exception_ptr current_exception() noexcept; [[noreturn]] constexpr void rethrow_exception(exception_ptr p); template<class E> constexpr exception_ptr make_exception_ptr(E e) noexcept; template<class T> [[noreturn]] constexpr void throw_with_nested(T&& t); template<class E> constexpr void rethrow_if_nested(const E& e); }

17.9.3 Class exception [exception]

🔗

namespace std { class exception { public: constexpr exception() noexcept; constexpr exception(const exception&) noexcept; constexpr exception& operator=(const exception&) noexcept; constexpr virtual ~exception(); constexpr virtual const char* what() const noexcept; }; }

The class exception defines the base class for the types of objects thrown as exceptions by C++ standard library components, and certain expressions, to report errors detected during program execution.

Except where explicitly specified otherwise, each standard library class T that derives from class exception has the following publicly accessible member functions, each of them having a non-throwing exception specification ([except.spec]):

(2.1)
default constructor (unless the class synopsis shows other constructors)
(2.2)
copy constructor
(2.3)
copy assignment operator

The copy constructor and the copy assignment operator meet the following postcondition: If two objects lhs and rhs both have dynamic type T and lhs is a copy of rhs, then strcmp(lhs.what(), rhs.what()) is equal to 0.

The what() member function of each such T satisfies the constraints specified for exception::what() (see below).

🔗

constexpr exception(const exception& rhs) noexcept;
constexpr exception& operator=(const exception& rhs) noexcept;

Postconditions: If *this and rhs both have dynamic type exception then the value of the expression strcmp(what(), rhs.what()) shall equal 0.

🔗

constexpr virtual ~exception();

Effects: Destroys an object of class exception.

🔗

constexpr virtual const char* what() const noexcept;

Returns: An implementation-defined ntbs, which during constant evaluation is encoded with the ordinary literal encoding ([lex.ccon]).

Remarks: The message may be a null-terminated multibyte string, suitable for conversion and display as a wstring ([string.classes], [locale.codecvt]).

The return value remains valid until the exception object from which it is obtained is destroyed or a non-const member function of the exception object is called.

17.9.4 Class bad_exception [bad.exception]

🔗

namespace std { class bad_exception : public exception { public: // see [exception] for the specification of the special member functions constexpr const char* what() const noexcept override; }; }

The class bad_exception defines the type of the object referenced by the exception_ptr returned from a call to current_exception ([propagation]) when the currently active exception object fails to copy.

🔗

constexpr const char* what() const noexcept override;

Returns: An implementation-defined ntbs.

17.9.5 Abnormal termination [exception.terminate]

17.9.5.1 Type terminate_handler [terminate.handler]

🔗

using terminate_handler = void (*)();

The type of a handler function to be invoked by terminate when terminating exception processing.

Required behavior: A terminate_handler shall terminate execution of the program without returning to the caller.

Default behavior: The implementation's default terminate_handler calls abort().

17.9.5.2 set_terminate [set.terminate]

🔗

terminate_handler set_terminate(terminate_handler f) noexcept;

Effects: Establishes the function designated by f as the current handler function for terminating exception processing.

Returns: The previous terminate_handler.

Remarks: It is unspecified whether a null pointer value designates the default terminate_handler.

17.9.5.3 get_terminate [get.terminate]

🔗

terminate_handler get_terminate() noexcept;

Returns: The current terminate_handler.

[Note 1:

This can be a null pointer value.

— end note]

17.9.5.4 terminate [terminate]

🔗

[[noreturn]] void terminate() noexcept;

Effects: Calls a terminate_handler function.

It is unspecified which terminate_handler function will be called if an exception is active during a call to set_terminate.

Otherwise calls the current terminate_handler function.

[Note 1:

A default terminate_handler is always considered a callable handler in this context.

— end note]

Remarks: Called by the implementation when exception handling must be abandoned for any of several reasons ([except.terminate]).

May also be called directly by the program.

17.9.6 uncaught_exceptions [uncaught.exceptions]

🔗

constexpr int uncaught_exceptions() noexcept;

Returns: The number of uncaught exceptions .

Remarks: When uncaught_exceptions() > 0, throwing an exception can result in a call of the function std::terminate .

17.9.7 Exception propagation [propagation]

🔗

using exception_ptr = unspecified;

The type exception_ptr can be used to refer to an exception object.

exception_ptr meets the requirements of Cpp17NullablePointer (Table 36).

Two non-null values of type exception_ptr are equivalent and compare equal if and only if they refer to the same exception.

The default constructor of exception_ptr produces the null value of the type.

exception_ptr shall not be implicitly convertible to any arithmetic, enumeration, or pointer type.

[Note 1:

An implementation can use a reference-counted smart pointer as exception_ptr.

— end note]

For purposes of determining the presence of a data race, operations on exception_ptr objects shall access and modify only the exception_ptr objects themselves and not the exceptions they refer to.

Use of rethrow_exception on exception_ptr objects that refer to the same exception object shall not introduce a data race.

[Note 2:

If rethrow_exception rethrows the same exception object (rather than a copy), concurrent access to that rethrown exception object can introduce a data race.

Changes in the number of exception_ptr objects that refer to a particular exception do not introduce a data race.

— end note]

All member functions are marked constexpr.

🔗

constexpr exception_ptr current_exception() noexcept;

Returns: An exception_ptr object that refers to the currently handled exception or a copy of the currently handled exception, or a null exception_ptr object if no exception is being handled.

The referenced object shall remain valid at least as long as there is an exception_ptr object that refers to it.

If the function needs to allocate memory and the attempt fails, it returns an exception_ptr object that refers to an instance of bad_alloc.

It is unspecified whether the return values of two successive calls to current_exception refer to the same exception object.

[Note 3:

That is, it is unspecified whether current_exception creates a new copy each time it is called.

— end note]

If the attempt to copy the current exception object throws an exception, the function returns an exception_ptr object that refers to the thrown exception or, if this is not possible, to an instance of bad_exception.

[Note 4:

The copy constructor of the thrown exception can also fail, so the implementation can substitute a bad_exception object to avoid infinite recursion.

— end note]

🔗

[[noreturn]] constexpr void rethrow_exception(exception_ptr p);

Preconditions: p is not a null pointer.

Effects: Let u be the exception object to which p refers, or a copy of that exception object.

It is unspecified whether a copy is made, and memory for the copy is allocated in an unspecified way.

(11.1)
If allocating memory to form u fails, throws an instance of bad_alloc;
(11.2)
otherwise, if copying the exception to which p refers to form u throws an exception, throws that exception;
(11.3)
otherwise, throws u.

🔗

template<class E> constexpr exception_ptr make_exception_ptr(E e) noexcept;

Effects: Creates an exception_ptr object that refers to a copy of e, as if: try { throw e; } catch(...) { return current_exception(); }

[Note 5:

This function is provided for convenience and efficiency reasons.

— end note]

17.9.8 nested_exception [except.nested]

🔗

namespace std { class nested_exception { public: constexpr nested_exception() noexcept; constexpr nested_exception(const nested_exception&) noexcept = default; constexpr nested_exception& operator=(const nested_exception&) noexcept = default; constexpr virtual ~nested_exception() = default; // access functions [[noreturn]] constexpr void rethrow_nested() const; constexpr exception_ptr nested_ptr() const noexcept; }; template<class T> [[noreturn]] constexpr void throw_with_nested(T&& t); template<class E> constexpr void rethrow_if_nested(const E& e); }

The class nested_exception is designed for use as a mixin through multiple inheritance.

It captures the currently handled exception and stores it for later use.

[Note 1:

nested_exception has a virtual destructor to make it a polymorphic class.

Its presence can be tested for with dynamic_cast.

— end note]

🔗

constexpr nested_exception() noexcept;

Effects: The constructor calls current_exception() and stores the returned value.

🔗

[[noreturn]] constexpr void rethrow_nested() const;

Effects: If nested_ptr() returns a null pointer, the function calls the function std::terminate.

Otherwise, it throws the stored exception captured by *this.

🔗

constexpr exception_ptr nested_ptr() const noexcept;

Returns: The stored exception captured by this nested_exception object.

🔗

template<class T> [[noreturn]] constexpr void throw_with_nested(T&& t);

Let U be decay_t<T>.

Preconditions: U meets the Cpp17CopyConstructible requirements.

Throws: If is_class_v && !is_final_v && !is_base_of_v<nested_exception, U> is true, an exception of unspecified type that is publicly derived from both U and nested_exception and constructed from std::forward<T>(t), otherwise std::forward<T>(t).

🔗

template<class E> constexpr void rethrow_if_nested(const E& e);

Effects: If E is not a polymorphic class type, or if nested_exception is an inaccessible or ambiguous base class of E, there is no effect.

Otherwise, performs: if (auto p = dynamic_cast<const nested_exception*>(addressof(e))) p->rethrow_nested();

17.10 Initializer lists [support.initlist]

17.10.1 General [support.initlist.general]

The header defines a class template and several support functions related to list-initialization (see [dcl.init.list]).

All functions specified in [support.initlist] are signal-safe ([support.signal]).

17.10.2 Header <initializer_list> synopsis [initializer.list.syn]

// all freestanding namespace std { template<class E> class initializer_list { public: using value_type = E; using reference = const E&; using const_reference = const E&; using size_type = size_t; using iterator = const E*; using const_iterator = const E*; constexpr initializer_list() noexcept; constexpr size_t size() const noexcept; // number of elements constexpr const E* begin() const noexcept; // first element constexpr const E* end() const noexcept; // one past the last element }; // [support.initlist.range], initializer list range access template<class E> constexpr const E* begin(initializer_list<E> il) noexcept; template<class E> constexpr const E* end(initializer_list<E> il) noexcept; }

An object of type initializer_list<E> provides access to an array of objects of type const E.

[Note 1:

A pair of pointers or a pointer plus a length would be obvious representations for initializer_list.

initializer_list is used to implement initializer lists as specified in [dcl.init.list].

Copying an initializer_list does not copy the underlying elements.

— end note]

If an explicit specialization or partial specialization of initializer_list is declared, the program is ill-formed.

17.10.3 Initializer list constructors [support.initlist.cons]

🔗

constexpr initializer_list() noexcept;

Postconditions: size() == 0.

17.10.4 Initializer list access [support.initlist.access]

🔗

constexpr const E* begin() const noexcept;

Returns: A pointer to the beginning of the array.

If size() == 0 the values of begin() and end() are unspecified but they shall be identical.

🔗

constexpr const E* end() const noexcept;

Returns: begin() + size().

🔗

constexpr size_t size() const noexcept;

Returns: The number of elements in the array.

Complexity: Constant time.

17.10.5 Initializer list range access [support.initlist.range]

🔗

template<class E> constexpr const E* begin(initializer_list<E> il) noexcept;

Returns: il.begin().

🔗

template<class E> constexpr const E* end(initializer_list<E> il) noexcept;

Returns: il.end().

17.11 Comparisons [cmp]

17.11.1 Header <compare> synopsis [compare.syn]

The header specifies types, objects, and functions for use primarily in connection with the three-way comparison operator .

🔗

// all freestanding namespace std { // [cmp.categories], comparison category types class partial_ordering; class weak_ordering; class strong_ordering; // named comparison functions constexpr bool is_eq (partial_ordering cmp) noexcept { return cmp == 0; } constexpr bool is_neq (partial_ordering cmp) noexcept { return cmp != 0; } constexpr bool is_lt (partial_ordering cmp) noexcept { return cmp < 0; } constexpr bool is_lteq(partial_ordering cmp) noexcept { return cmp <= 0; } constexpr bool is_gt (partial_ordering cmp) noexcept { return cmp > 0; } constexpr bool is_gteq(partial_ordering cmp) noexcept { return cmp >= 0; } // [cmp.common], common comparison category type template<class...

17.11.2 Comparison category types [cmp.categories]

17.11.2.1 Preamble [cmp.categories.pre]

The types partial_ordering, weak_ordering, and strong_ordering are collectively termed the comparison category types.

Each is specified in terms of an exposition-only data member named value whose value typically corresponds to that of an enumerator from one of the following exposition-only enumerations: enum class ord { equal = 0, equivalent = equal, less = -1, greater = 1 }; // exposition only enum class ncmp { unordered = -127 }; // exposition only

[Note 1:

The type strong_ordering corresponds to the term total ordering in mathematics.

— end note]

The relational and equality operators for the comparison category types are specified with an anonymous parameter of unspecified type.

This type shall be selected by the implementation such that these parameters can accept literal 0 as a corresponding argument.

[Example 1:

nullptr_t meets this requirement.

— end example]

In this context, the behavior of a program that supplies an argument other than a literal 0 is undefined.

For the purposes of [cmp.categories], substitutability is the property that f(a) == f(b) is true whenever a == b is true, where f denotes a function that reads only comparison-salient state that is accessible via the argument's public const members.

17.11.2.2 Class partial_ordering [cmp.partialord]

The partial_ordering type is typically used as the result type of a three-way comparison operator ([expr.spaceship]) for a type that admits all of the six two-way comparison operators ([expr.rel], [expr.eq]), for which equality need not imply substitutability, and that permits two values to be incomparable.192

17.11.3 Class template common_comparison_category [cmp.common]

The type common_comparison_category provides an alias for the strongest comparison category to which all of the template arguments can be converted.

[Note 1:

A comparison category type is stronger than another if they are distinct types and an instance of the former can be converted to an instance of the latter.

— end note]

🔗

template<class... Ts>
struct common_comparison_category {
  using type = see below;
};

Remarks: The member typedef-name type denotes the common comparison type ([class.spaceship]) of Ts..., the expanded parameter pack, or void if any element of Ts is not a comparison category type.

[Note 2:

This is std::strong_ordering if the expansion is empty.

17.11.5 Result of three-way comparison [cmp.result]

The behavior of a program that adds specializations for the compare_three_way_result template defined in this subclause is undefined.

For the compare_three_way_result type trait applied to the types T and U, let t and u denote lvalues of types const remove_reference_t<T> and const remove_reference_t, respectively.

If the expression t <=> u is well-formed when treated as an unevaluated operand ([expr.context]), the member typedef-name type denotes the type decltype(t <=> u).

Otherwise, there is no member type.

17.12 Coroutines [support.coroutine]

17.12.1 General [support.coroutine.general]

The header defines several types providing compile and run-time support for coroutines in a C++ program.

🔗

// all freestanding #include <compare> // see [compare.syn] namespace std { // [coroutine.traits], coroutine traits template<class R, class...

17.12.3 Coroutine traits [coroutine.traits]

17.12.3.1 General [coroutine.traits.general]

Subclause [coroutine.traits] defines requirements on classes representing coroutine traits, and defines the class template coroutine_traits that meets those requirements.

17.12.3.2 Class template coroutine_traits [coroutine.traits.primary]

The header <coroutine> defines the primary template coroutine_traits such that if ArgTypes is a parameter pack of types and if the qualified-id R::promise_type is valid and denotes a type ([temp.deduct]), then coroutine_traits<R, ArgTypes...> has the following publicly accessible member: using promise_type = typename R::promise_type;

Otherwise, coroutine_traits<R, ArgTypes...> has no members.

Program-defined specializations of this template shall define a publicly accessible nested type named promise_type.

17.12.4 Class template coroutine_handle [coroutine.handle]

17.12.4.1 General [coroutine.handle.general]

🔗

namespace std { template<> struct coroutine_handle<void> { // [coroutine.handle.con], construct/reset constexpr coroutine_handle() noexcept; constexpr coroutine_handle(nullptr_t) noexcept; coroutine_handle& operator=(nullptr_t) noexcept; // [coroutine.handle.export.import], export/import constexpr void* address() const noexcept; static constexpr coroutine_handle from_address(void* addr); // [coroutine.handle.observers], observers constexpr explicit operator bool() const noexcept; bool done() const; // [coroutine.handle.resumption], resumption void operator()() const; void resume() const; void destroy() const; private: void* ptr; // exposition only }; template<class Promise> struct coroutine_handle { // [coroutine.handle.con], construct/reset constexpr coroutine_handle() noexcept; constexpr coroutine_handle(nullptr_t) noexcept; static coroutine_handle from_promise(Promise&); coroutine_handle& operator=(nullptr_t) noexcept; // [coroutine.handle.export.import], export/import constexpr void* address() const noexcept; static constexpr coroutine_handle from_address(void* addr); // [coroutine.handle.conv], conversion constexpr operator coroutine_handle<>() const noexcept; // [coroutine.handle.observers], observers constexpr explicit operator bool() const noexcept; bool done() const; // [coroutine.handle.resumption], resumption void operator()() const; void resume() const; void destroy() const; // [coroutine.handle.promise], promise access Promise& promise() const; private: void* ptr; // exposition only }; }

An object of type coroutine_handle<T> is called a coroutine handle and can be used to refer to a suspended or executing coroutine.

A coroutine_handle object whose member address() returns a null pointer value does not refer to any coroutine.

Two coroutine_handle objects refer to the same coroutine if and only if their member address() returns the same non-null value.

If a program declares an explicit or partial specialization of coroutine_handle, the behavior is undefined.

17.12.4.2 Construct/reset [coroutine.handle.con]

🔗

constexpr coroutine_handle() noexcept;
constexpr coroutine_handle(nullptr_t) noexcept;

Postconditions: address() == nullptr.

🔗

static coroutine_handle from_promise(Promise& p);

Preconditions: p is a reference to a promise object of a coroutine.

Postconditions: addressof(h.promise()) == addressof(p).

Returns: A coroutine handle h referring to the coroutine.

🔗

coroutine_handle& operator=(nullptr_t) noexcept;

Postconditions: address() == nullptr.

Returns: *this.

17.12.4.3 Conversion [coroutine.handle.conv]

Postconditions: from_address(address()) == *this.

🔗

static constexpr coroutine_handle<Promise> coroutine_handle<Promise>::from_address(void* addr);

Preconditions: addr was obtained via a prior call to address on an object of type cv coroutine_handle<Promise>.

Postconditions: from_address(address()) == *this.

17.12.4.5 Observers [coroutine.handle.observers]

🔗

constexpr explicit operator bool() const noexcept;

Returns: address() != nullptr.

🔗

bool done() const;

Preconditions: *this refers to a suspended coroutine.

Returns: true if the coroutine is suspended at its final suspend point, otherwise false.

17.12.4.6 Resumption [coroutine.handle.resumption]

Resuming a coroutine via resume, operator(), or destroy on an execution agent other than the one on which it was suspended has implementation-defined behavior unless each execution agent either is an instance of std::thread or std::jthread, or is the thread that executes main.

[Note 1:

A coroutine that is resumed on a different execution agent should avoid relying on consistent thread identity throughout, such as holding a mutex object across a suspend point.

— end note]

[Note 2:

A concurrent resumption of the coroutine can result in a data race.

— end note]

🔗

void operator()() const;
void resume() const;

Preconditions: *this refers to a suspended coroutine.

The coroutine is not suspended at its final suspend point.

Effects: Resumes the execution of the coroutine.

🔗

void destroy() const;

Effects: Destroys the coroutine ([dcl.fct.def.coroutine]).

17.12.4.7 Promise access [coroutine.handle.promise]

🔗

Promise& promise() const;

Preconditions: *this refers to a coroutine.

Returns: A reference to the promise of the coroutine.

17.12.4.8 Comparison operators [coroutine.handle.compare]

🔗

constexpr bool operator==(coroutine_handle<> x, coroutine_handle<> y) noexcept;

Returns: x.address() == y.address().

🔗

constexpr strong_ordering operator<=>(coroutine_handle<> x, coroutine_handle<> y) noexcept;

Returns: compare_three_way()(x.address(), y.address()).

🔗

struct noop_coroutine_promise {};

The class noop_coroutine_promise defines the promise type for the coroutine referred to by noop_coroutine_handle ([coroutine.syn]).

17.12.5.2 Class coroutine_handle<noop_coroutine_promise> [coroutine.handle.noop]

17.12.5.2.1 General [coroutine.handle.noop.general]

17.12.5.2.4 Resumption [coroutine.handle.noop.resumption]

🔗

constexpr void operator()() const noexcept;
constexpr void resume() const noexcept;
constexpr void destroy() const noexcept;

Effects: None.

Remarks: If noop_coroutine_handle is converted to coroutine_handle<>, calls to operator(), resume and destroy on that handle will also have no observable effects.

17.12.5.2.5 Promise access [coroutine.handle.noop.promise]

🔗

noop_coroutine_promise& promise() const noexcept;

Returns: A reference to the promise object associated with this coroutine handle.

17.12.5.2.6 Address [coroutine.handle.noop.address]

🔗

constexpr void* address() const noexcept;

Remarks: A noop_coroutine_handle's ptr is always a non-null pointer value.

17.12.5.3 Function noop_coroutine [coroutine.noop.coroutine]

🔗

noop_coroutine_handle noop_coroutine() noexcept;

Returns: A handle to a coroutine that has no observable effects when resumed or destroyed.

Remarks: A handle returned from noop_coroutine may or may not compare equal to a handle returned from another invocation of noop_coroutine.

[Note 1:

The types suspend_never and suspend_always can be used to indicate that an await-expression either never suspends or always suspends, and in either case does not produce a value.

— end note]

17.13 Other runtime support [support.runtime]

17.13.1 General [support.runtime.general]

Headers <csetjmp> (nonlocal jumps), <csignal> (signal handling), <cstdarg> (variable arguments), and <cstdlib> (runtime environment getenv, system), provide further compatibility with C code.

Calls to the function getenv ([cstdlib.syn]) shall not introduce a data race ([res.on.data.races]) provided that nothing modifies the environment.

[Note 1:

Calls to the POSIX functions setenv and putenv modify the environment.

— end note]

A call to the setlocale function may introduce a data race with other calls to the setlocale function or with calls to functions that are affected by the current C locale.

The implementation shall behave as if no library function other than locale::global calls the setlocale function.

17.13.2 Header <cstdarg> synopsis [cstdarg.syn]

The contents of the header are the same as the C standard library header <stdarg.h>, with the following changes:

(1.1)
In lieu of the default argument promotions specified in ISO/IEC 9899:2018 6.5.2.2, the definition in [expr.call] applies.
(1.2)
The restrictions that C places on the second parameter to the va_start macro in header <stdarg.h> are different in this document.

The parameter parmN is the rightmost parameter in the variable parameter list of the function definition (the one just before the ...).193

If the parameter parmN is a pack expansion ([temp.variadic]) or an entity resulting from a lambda capture ([expr.prim.lambda]), the program is ill-formed, no diagnostic required.

If the parameter parmN is of a reference type, or of a type that is not compatible with the type that results when passing an argument for which there is no parameter, the behavior is undefined.

17.13.3 Header <csetjmp> synopsis [csetjmp.syn]

🔗

namespace std { using jmp_buf = see below; [[noreturn]] void longjmp(jmp_buf env, int val); } #define setjmp(env) see below

The contents of the header are the same as the C standard library header <setjmp.h>.

The function signature longjmp(jmp_buf jbuf, int val) has more restricted behavior in this document.

A setjmp/longjmp call pair has undefined behavior if replacing the setjmp and longjmp by catch and throw would invoke any non-trivial destructors for any objects with automatic storage duration.

A call to setjmp or longjmp has undefined behavior if invoked in a suspension context of a coroutine ([expr.await]).

17.13.5 Signal handlers [support.signal]

A call to the function signal synchronizes with any resulting invocation of the signal handler so installed.

A plain lock-free atomic operation is an invocation of a function f from [atomics], such that:

(2.1)
f is the function atomic_is_lock_free(), or
(2.2)
f is the member function is_lock_free(), or
(2.3)
f is a non-static member function of class atomic_flag, or
(2.4)
f is a non-member function, and the first parameter of f has type cv atomic_flag*, or
(2.5)
f is a non-static member function invoked on an object A, such that A.is_lock_free() yields true, or
(2.6)
f is a non-member function, and for every pointer-to-atomic argument A passed to f, atomic_is_lock_free(A) yields true.

An evaluation is signal-safe unless it includes one of the following:

(3.1)
a call to any standard library function, except for plain lock-free atomic operations and functions explicitly identified as signal-safe;
[Note 1:
This implicitly excludes the use of new and delete expressions that rely on a library-provided memory allocator.
— end note]
(3.2)
an access to an object with thread storage duration;
(3.3)
a dynamic_cast expression;
(3.4)
throwing of an exception;
(3.5)
control entering a try-block or function-try-block;
(3.6)
initialization of a variable with static storage duration requiring dynamic initialization ([basic.start.dynamic], [stmt.dcl])194 ; or
(3.7)
waiting for the completion of the initialization of a variable with static storage duration ([stmt.dcl]).

A signal handler invocation has undefined behavior if it includes an evaluation that is not signal-safe.

The function signal is signal-safe if it is invoked with the first argument equal to the signal number corresponding to the signal that caused the invocation of the handler.

17.14 C headers [support.c.headers]

17.14.1 General [support.c.headers.general]

For compatibility with the C standard library, the C++ standard library provides the C headers shown in Table 44 .

The intended use of these headers is for interoperability only.

It is possible that C++ source files need to include one of these headers in order to be valid C. Source files that are not intended to also be valid C should not use any of the C headers.

[Note 1:

The C headers either have no effect, such as <stdbool.h> and <stdalign.h>, or otherwise the corresponding header of the form <cname> provides the same facilities and assuredly defines them in namespace std.

— end note]

[Example 1:

The following source file is both valid C++ and valid C. Viewed as C++, it declares a function with C language linkage; viewed as C it simply declares a function (and provides a prototype).

#include <stdbool.h> // for bool in C, no effect in C++ #include <stddef.h> // for size_t #ifdef __cplusplus // see [cpp.predefined] extern "C" // see [dcl.link] #endif void f(bool b[], size_t n); — end example]

17.14.2 Header <complex.h> synopsis [complex.h.syn]

The header <complex.h> behaves as if it simply includes the header <complex>.

[Note 1:

Names introduced by <complex> in namespace std are not placed into the global namespace scope by <complex.h>.

— end note]

17.14.3 Header <iso646.h> synopsis [iso646.h.syn]

The C++ header <iso646.h> is empty.

[Note 1:

and, and_eq, bitand, bitor, compl, not_eq, not, or, or_eq, xor, and xor_eq are keywords in C++ ([lex.key]).

— end note]

17.14.4 Header <stdalign.h> synopsis [stdalign.h.syn]

The contents of the C++ header <stdalign.h> are the same as the C standard library header <stdalign.h>, with the following changes: The header <stdalign.h> does not define a macro named alignas.

17.14.5 Header <stdbool.h> synopsis [stdbool.h.syn]

The contents of the C++ header <stdbool.h> are the same as the C standard library header <stdbool.h>, with the following changes: The header <stdbool.h> does not define macros named bool, true, or false.

17.14.6 Header <tgmath.h> synopsis [tgmath.h.syn]

The header <tgmath.h> behaves as if it simply includes the headers <cmath> and <complex>.

[Note 1:

The overloads provided in C by type-generic macros are already provided in <complex> and <cmath> by “sufficient” additional overloads.

— end note]

[Note 2:

Names introduced by <cmath> or <complex> in namespace std are not placed into the global namespace scope by <tgmath.h>.

— end note]

17.14.7 Other C headers [support.c.headers.other]

Every C header other than <complex.h>, <iso646.h>, <stdalign.h>,
<stdatomic.h>, <stdbit.h>, <stdbool.h>, <stdckdint.h>, and
<tgmath.h>, each of which has a name of the form <name.h>, behaves as if each name placed in the standard library namespace by the corresponding <cname> header is placed within the global namespace scope, except for the functions described in [sf.cmath], the std::lerp function overloads ([c.math.lerp]), the declaration of std::byte ([cstddef.syn]), and the functions and function templates described in [support.types.byteops].

It is unspecified whether these names are first declared or defined within namespace scope ([basic.scope.namespace]) of the namespace std and are then injected into the global namespace scope by explicit using-declarations ([namespace.udecl]).

[Example 1:

The header <cstdlib> assuredly provides its declarations and definitions within the namespace std.

It may also provide these names within the global namespace.

The header <stdlib.h> assuredly provides the same declarations and definitions within the global namespace, much as in ISO/IEC 9899.

It may also provide these names within the namespace std.
