Bug ID: 114498
Summary: Consider deprecating then removing TR1 headers
Product: gcc
Version: 14.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: P3
Component: libstdc++
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: redi at gcc dot gnu.org
Target Milestone: ---
We should decide whether we want to keep std::tr1::shared_ptr etc. forever.
Those headers are virtually unmaintained, and just increase testing burden.
They do provide functionality that isn't otherwise available from libstdc++ in
C++98/C++03 mode. But does anybody care? Is anybody stuck in C++98/C++03 mode,
but also upgrading to modern GCC versions, and also relying on non-standard TR1
components that aren't actually in the C++03 standard? Can they just use Boost
instead?
At some point we might want to have the same discussion for
<experimental/optional> and LFTSv1 components, and <experimental/filesystem
too. But that seems further off.
