+ Documentation for the GNU C++ Library is created from three
+ independent sources: a manual, a FAQ, and an API reference.
+ </p><p>
+ The sub-directory <code class="filename">doc</code>
+ within the main source directory contains
+ <code class="filename">Makefile.am</code> and
+ <code class="filename">Makefile.in</code>, which provide rules for
+ generating documentation, described in excruciating detail
+ below. The <code class="filename">doc</code>
+ sub-directory also contains three directories: <code class="filename">doxygen</code>, which contains scripts and
+ fragments for <span class="command"><strong>doxygen</strong></span>, <code class="filename">html</code>, which contains an html
+ version of the manual, and <code class="filename">xml</code>, which contains an xml version
+ of the manual.
+ </p><p>
+ Diverging from established documentation conventions in the rest
+ of the GCC project, libstdc++ does not use Texinfo as a markup
+ language. Instead, Docbook is used to create the manual and the
+ FAQ, and Doxygen is used to construct the API
+ reference. Although divergent, this conforms to the GNU Project
+ recommendations as long as the output is of sufficient quality,
+ as per
+ <a class="link" href="http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/standards.html#Documentation">
+ GNU Manuals</a>.
+ </p></div><div class="section" title="Generating Documentation"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="doc.generation"/>Generating Documentation</h3></div></div></div><p>
+ Certain Makefile rules are required by the GNU Coding
+ Standards. These standard rules generate HTML, PDF, XML, or man
+ files. For each of the generative rules, there is an additional
+ install rule that is used to install any generated documentation
+ files into the prescribed installation directory. Files are
+ installed into <code class="filename">share/doc</code>
+ or <code class="filename">share/man</code> directories.
+ </p><p>
+ The standard Makefile rules are conditionally supported, based
+ on the results of examining the host environment for
+ prerequisites at configuration time. If requirements are not
+ found, the rule is aliased to a dummy rule that does nothing,
+ and produces no documentation. If the requirements are found,
+ the rule forwards to a private rule that produces the requested
+ documentation.
+ </p><p>
+ For more details on what prerequisites were found and where,
+ please consult the file <code class="filename">config.log</code> in the
+ libstdc++ build directory. Compare this log to what is expected
+ for the relevant Makefile conditionals:
+ <code class="literal">BUILD_INFO</code>, <code class="literal">BUILD_XML</code>,
+ <code class="literal">BUILD_HTML</code>, <code class="literal">BUILD_MAN</code>,

+ To generate the pretty pictures and hierarchy

+ The following Makefile rules run Doxygen to generate HTML
+ docs, XML docs, XML docs as a single file, PDF docs, and the
+ man pages. These rules are not conditional! If the required
+ tools are not found, or are the wrong versions, the rule may
+ end in an error.

+ Generated files are output into separate sub directories of
+ <code class="filename">doc/doxygen/</code> in the
+ build directory, based on the output format. For instance, the
+ HTML docs will be in <code class="filename">doc/doxygen/html</code>.
+ </p><p>
+ Careful observers will see that the Makefile rules simply call
+ a script from the source tree, <code class="filename">run_doxygen</code>, which
+ does the actual work of running Doxygen and then (most
+ importantly) massaging the output files. If for some reason
+ you prefer to not go through the Makefile, you can call this
+ script directly. (Start by passing <code class="literal">--help</code>.)
+ </p><p>
+ If you wish to tweak the Doxygen settings, do so by editing
+ <code class="filename">doc/doxygen/user.cfg.in</code>. Notes to fellow
+ library hackers are written in triple-# comments.
+ </p></div><div class="section" title="Markup"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a id="doxygen.markup"/>Markup</h4></div></div></div><p>
+ In general, libstdc++ files should be formatted according to
+ the rules found in the
+ <a class="link" href="source_code_style.html" title="Coding Style">Coding Standard</a>. Before
+ any doxygen-specific formatting tweaks are made, please try to
+ make sure that the initial formatting is sound.
+ </p><p>
+ Adding Doxygen markup to a file (informally called
+ <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">doxygenating</span>”</span>) is very simple. The Doxygen manual can be
+ found
+ <a class="link" href="http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/download.html#latestman">here</a>.
+ We try to use a very-recent version of Doxygen.
+ </p><p>
+ For classes, use
+ <code class="classname">deque</code>/<code class="classname">vector</code>/<code class="classname">list</code>
+ and <code class="classname">std::pair</code> as examples. For
+ functions, see their member functions, and the free functions
+ in <code class="filename">stl_algobase.h</code>. Member functions of
+ other container-like types should read similarly to these
+ member functions.
+ </p><p>
+ Some commentary to accompany
+ the first list in the <a class="link" href="http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/docblocks.html">Special
+ Documentation Blocks</a> section of
+ the Doxygen manual:
+ </p><div class="orderedlist"><ol class="orderedlist"><li class="listitem"><p>For longer comments, use the Javadoc style...</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
+ ...not the Qt style. The intermediate *'s are preferred.
+ </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
+ Use the triple-slash style only for one-line comments (the
+ <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">brief</span>”</span> mode).
+ </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
+ This is disgusting. Don't do this.
+ </p></li></ol></div><p>
+ Some specific guidelines:
+ </p><p>
+ Use the @-style of commands, not the !-style. Please be
+ careful about whitespace in your markup comments. Most of the
+ time it doesn't matter; doxygen absorbs most whitespace, and
+ both HTML and *roff are agnostic about whitespace. However,
+ in &lt;pre&gt; blocks and @code/@endcode sections, spacing can
+ have <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">interesting</span>”</span> effects.
+ </p><p>
+ Use either kind of grouping, as
+ appropriate. <code class="filename">doxygroups.cc</code> exists for this
+ purpose. See <code class="filename">stl_iterator.h</code> for a good example
+ of the <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">other</span>”</span> kind of grouping.
+ </p><p>
+ Please use markup tags like @p and @a when referring to things
+ such as the names of function parameters. Use @e for emphasis
+ when necessary. Use @c to refer to other standard names.
+ (Examples of all these abound in the present code.)
+ </p><p>
+ Complicated math functions should use the multi-line
+ format. An example from <code class="filename">random.h</code>:
+ </p><p>
+</p><div class="literallayout"><p><br/>
+/**<br/>
+ * @brief A model of a linear congruential random number generator.<br/>
+ *<br/>
+ * @f[<br/>
+ *     x_{i+1}\leftarrow(ax_{i} + c) \bmod m<br/>
+ * @f]<br/>
+ */<br/>
+</p></div><p>
+ </p><p>
+ One area of note is the markup required for
+ <code class="literal">@file</code> markup in header files. Two details
+ are important: for filenames that have the same name in
+ multiple directories, include part of the installed path to
+ disambiguate. For example:
+ </p><p>
+</p><div class="literallayout"><p><br/>
+/** @file debug/vector<br/>
+ *  This file is a GNU debug extension to the Standard C++ Library.<br/>
+ */<br/>
+</p></div><p>
+ </p><p>
+ The other relevant detail for header files is the use of a
+ libstdc++-specific doxygen alias that helps distinguish
+ between public header files (like <code class="filename">random</code>)
+ from implementation or private header files (like
+ <code class="filename">bits/c++config.h</code>.) This alias is spelled
+ <code class="literal">@headername</code> and can take one or two
+ arguments that detail the public header file or files that
+ should be included to use the contents of the file. All header
+ files that are not intended for direct inclusion must use
+ <code class="literal">headername</code> in the <code class="literal">file</code>
+ block. An example:
+ </p><p>
+</p><div class="literallayout"><p><br/>
+/** @file bits/basic_string.h<br/>
+ *  This is an internal header file, included by other library headers.<br/>
+ *  Do not attempt to use it directly. @headername{string}<br/>
+ */<br/>
+</p></div><p>
+ </p><p>
+ Be careful about using certain, special characters when
+ writing Doxygen comments. Single and double quotes, and
+ separators in filenames are two common trouble spots. When in
+ doubt, consult the following table.

+ Editing the DocBook sources requires an XML editor. Many
+ exist: some notable options
+ include <span class="command"><strong>emacs</strong></span>, <span class="application">Kate</span>,
+ or <span class="application">Conglomerate</span>.
+ </p><p>
+ Some editors support special <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">XML Validation</span>”</span>
+ modes that can validate the file as it is
+ produced. Recommended is the <span class="command"><strong>nXML Mode</strong></span>
+ for <span class="command"><strong>emacs</strong></span>.
+ </p><p>
+ Besides an editor, additional DocBook files and XML tools are
+ also required.
+ </p><p>
+ Access to the DocBook 5.0 stylesheets and schema is required. The
+ stylesheets are usually packaged by vendor, in something
+ like <code class="filename">docbook5-style-xsl</code>. To exactly match
+ generated output, please use a version of the stylesheets
+ equivalent
+ to <code class="filename">docbook5-style-xsl-1.75.2-3</code>. The
+ installation directory for this package corresponds to
+ the <code class="literal">XSL_STYLE_DIR</code>
+ in <code class="filename">doc/Makefile.am</code> and defaults
+ to <code class="filename">/usr/share/sgml/docbook/xsl-ns-stylesheets</code>.
+ </p><p>
+ For processing XML, an XML processor and some style
+ sheets are necessary. Defaults are <span class="command"><strong>xsltproc</strong></span>
+ provided by <code class="filename">libxslt</code>.
+ </p><p>
+ For validating the XML document, you'll need
+ something like <span class="command"><strong>xmllint</strong></span> and access to the
+ relevant DocBook schema. These are provided
+ by a vendor package like <code class="filename">libxml2</code> and <code class="filename">docbook5-schemas-5.0-4</code>
+ </p><p>
+ For PDF output, something that transforms valid Docbook XML to PDF is

+ <span class="command"><strong>xmlto</strong></span>, or <span class="command"><strong>prince</strong></span>. Of
+ these, <span class="command"><strong>dblatex</strong></span> is the default. Other

+ After editing the xml sources, please make sure that the XML

+ done easily, with the following validation rule:
+ </p><pre class="screen">
+ <strong class="userinput"><code>make doc-xml-validate-docbook</code></strong>
+ </pre><p>
+ This is equivalent to doing:
+ </p><pre class="screen">

+ </code></strong>
+ </pre><p>
+ Please note that individual sections and chapters of the
+ manual can be validated by substituting the file desired for
+ <code class="filename">xml/index.xml</code> in the command
+ above. Reducing scope in this manner can be helpful when
+ validation on the entire manual fails.
+ </p><p>
+ All Docbook xml sources should always validate. No excuses!
