FAQ for g++ and libg++, by Joe Buck (jbuck@synopsys.com)
********************************************************

   This is a list of frequently asked questions (FAQ) for g++ users;
thanks to all those who sent suggestions for improvements.  Thanks to
Marcus Speh for doing the index.  A hypertext version is available on
the World Wide Web at `http://www.cygnus.com/misc/g++FAQ_toc.html'.

   Please send updates and corrections to the FAQ to
`jbuck@synopsys.com'.  Please do *not* use me as a resource to get your
questions answered; that's what `gnu.g++.help' is for and I don't have
the time to support the net's use of g++.

   Many FAQs, including this one, are available on the archive site
"rtfm.mit.edu"; see
`ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news.answers'.  This FAQ may be found in
the subdirectory g++-FAQ.

   This FAQ is intended to supplement, not replace, Marshall Cline's
excellent FAQ for the C++ language and for the newsgroup
`comp.lang.c++'.  Especially if g++ is the first C++ compiler you've
ever used, the question "How do I do <X> with g++?" is probably really
"How do I do <X> in C++?".  You can find this FAQ at
`ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/comp.lang.c++', or in HTML form at
`http://www.cerfnet.com/~mpcline/On-Line-C++-FAQs/'.
