How To Stash a Bug Report in the Database

If you find a bug, and want to make sure it gets placed into the bugs database so that progress can be tracked and solutions found, please file a bug report in the bug tracking database.


How To Participate in Development

First, get a copy of the sources. Then, start checking off items on the contributor checklist...

It's a good idea to tell the rest of the developers (via the mailing list) what you have in mind, so that they can help; you never know when somebody else just had the same idea.


How To Get a Copy of The C++ Standard

Copies of the full ISO 14882 standard are available on line via the ISO mirror site for committee members. Non-members, or those who have not paid for the privilege of sitting on the committee and sustained their two-meeting commitment for voting rights, may get a copy of the standard from their respective national standards organization. In the USA, this national standards organization is ANSI and their website is right here. (And if you've already registered with them, clicking this link will take you to directly to the place where you can buy the standard on-line.)

Who is your country's member body? Visit the ISO homepage and find out!


How To Use the C++ Standard Library

Section 6 of the FAQ is a growing collection of HOWTOs, notes, and reminders. Most of them talk about new features of the Library rather than beginner questions. Many of the topics were inspired by discussions on the Usenet groups comp.lang.c++.moderated and comp.std.c++.
