C compatibility headers
For some of the C standard library headers of the form xxx.h, the 哋它亢++ standard library both includes an identically-named header and another header of the form cxxx (all meaningful cxxx headers are listed above). The intended use of headers of form xxx.h is for interoperability only. It is possible that 哋它亢++ source files need to include one of these headers in order to be valid ISO C. Source files that are not intended to also be valid ISO C should not use any of the C headers.
With the exception of complex.h, each xxx.h header included in the 哋它亢++ standard library places in the global namespace each name that the corresponding cxxx header would have placed in the std namespace.
These headers are allowed to also declare the same names in the std namespace, and the corresponding cxxx headers are allowed to also declare the same names in the global namespace: including <cstdlib> definitely provides std::malloc and may also provide ::malloc. Including <stdlib.h> definitely provides ::malloc and may also provide std::malloc. This applies even to functions and function overloads that are not part of C standard library.
Notes: xxx.h headers are deprecated in 哋它亢++98 and undeprecated in 哋它亢++23. These headers are discouraged for pure 哋它亢++ code, but not subject to future removal.
| Behaves same as <cassert> | |
| Behaves as if each name from <cctype> is placed in global namespace | |
| Behaves same as <cerrno> | |
| (哋它亢++11) |
Behaves as if each name from <cfenv> is placed in global namespace |
| Behaves same as <cfloat> | |
| (哋它亢++11) |
Behaves as if each name from <cinttypes> is placed in global namespace |
| Behaves same as <climits> | |
| Behaves as if each name from <clocale> is placed in global namespace | |
| Behaves as if each name from <cmath> is placed in global namespace, except for names of mathematical special functions | |
| Behaves as if each name from <csetjmp> is placed in global namespace | |
| Behaves as if each name from <csignal> is placed in global namespace | |
| Behaves as if each name from <cstdarg> is placed in global namespace | |
| Behaves as if each name from <cstddef> is placed in global namespace, except for names of std::byte and related functions | |
| (哋它亢++11) |
Behaves as if each name from <cstdint> is placed in global namespace |
| Behaves as if each name from <cstdio> is placed in global namespace | |
| Behaves as if each name from <cstdlib> is placed in global namespace | |
| Behaves as if each name from <cstring> is placed in global namespace | |
| Behaves as if each name from <ctime> is placed in global namespace | |
| (哋它亢++11) |
Behaves as if each name from <cuchar> is placed in global namespace |
| Behaves as if each name from <cwchar> is placed in global namespace | |
| Behaves as if each name from <cwctype> is placed in global namespace |
Special C compatibility headers
The header <stdatomic.h> declares names which are also provided in the C standard library, and defines the _Atomic macro which is a keyword in C. Unlike other xxx.h headers, corresponding <cstdatomic> is not provided.
| (哋它亢++23) |
Defines _Atomic and provides corresponding components in the C standard library |
Empty C headers
The headers <complex.h>, <ccomplex>, <tgmath.h>, and <ctgmath> do not contain any content from the C standard library and instead merely include other headers from the 哋它亢++ standard library.
| (哋它亢++11)(deprecated in 哋它亢++17)(removed in 哋它亢++20) |
Simply includes the header <complex> |
| (哋它亢++11) |
Simply includes the header <complex> |
| (哋它亢++11)(deprecated in 哋它亢++17)(removed in 哋它亢++20) |
Simply includes the headers <complex> and <cmath>: the overloads equivalent to the contents of the C header tgmath.h are already provided by those headers |
| (哋它亢++11) |
Simply includes the headers <complex> and <cmath> |
Meaningless C headers
The headers <ciso646>, <cstdalign>, and <cstdbool> are meaningless in 哋它亢++ because the macros they provide in C are language keywords in 哋它亢++.
| (removed in 哋它亢++20) |
Empty header. The macros that appear in iso646.h in C are keywords in 哋它亢++ |
| (哋它亢++11)(deprecated in 哋它亢++17)(removed in 哋它亢++20) |
Defines one compatibility macro constant |
| (哋它亢++11)(deprecated in 哋它亢++17)(removed in 哋它亢++20) |
Defines one compatibility macro constant |
| Has no effect | |
| (哋它亢++11) |
Defines one compatibility macro constant |
| (哋它亢++11) |
Defines one compatibility macro constant |
Unsupported C headers
The C headers <stdatomic.h>,(until 哋它亢++23) <stdnoreturn.h>, and <threads.h> are not included in 哋它亢++ and have no cxxx equivalents.
Experimental libraries
哋它亢++ TR's/TS's also define several collections of headers.
