\b\fs36                  New Features\

\pard\b0\fs28\li1440\fc0\cf0 \
     This section describes the major GNU changes since the previous  release of libg++ \
in NeXTSTEP 3.2. \
\
 *  The iostream directory is gone.  It has been replaced by ../libio.\
  One major change is that libiostream.ac(which is built in ../libio) can be used \
indendently of libg++ as in the example illustrated below.  However libg++.a also links with  libiostream.a internally  and therefore, when linking with libg++.a, libiostream.a need not be explicitly specified on the command line. \
\

\b\i #include <stream.h>\
\
main() \{\
   cout << "Hi world\\n";\
\}\
\

\b0\i0 and the compilation command would be
\b\i \

\b0\i0 \

\b cc++ test.cc -o tst -liostream\
\

\b0 and executing 
\b tst 
\b0 would result in\
\

\b Hi world!
\b0 \
\
\
* A few of pseudo-template classes (SLList/DLList) have been \
converted to use real templates.    These files can be used as follows:\
\

\b\i #include <stream.h>\
#include <String.h>\
#include <SLList.h>\
\
main()\{\
   SLList<String> listOfnames;\
\
   listOfnames.append("hello world");\
   cout <<listOfnames.remove_front() << "\\n";\
\
\}\

\b0\i0 \
Compiling  the above example with\
\

\b cc++  test.cc -lg++
\b0 \
\
and running would result in\
\

\b hello world
\b0 \
\
\
However, no promise is implied about when/if the remaining ones will be converted.\
Hence genclass is still necessary for specific class creation.

\b /NextDeveloper/Headers/g++/iomanip.h
\b0  \
                       are now supported due to the  addition of support for templates in gcc in the current 	version   of  NeXTSTEP.\
\
	The directive 
\f3 #pragma cplusplus 
\f0 has been added to every libg++ header that is 	exported so as to specify C++ linkage. This is due to the new feature in the compiler which 	enables implicit extern "C" linkage for all system headers unless the above pragma is 	specified in which case, the C++ linkage is enabled.\
