<h2 class="chapter">5 C++ Implementation-defined behavior</h2>
<p><a name="index-implementation_002ddefined-behavior_002c-C_002b_002b-language-2176"></a>
A conforming implementation of ISO C++ is required to document its
choice of behavior in each of the areas that are designated
&ldquo;implementation defined&rdquo;. The following lists all such areas,
along with the section numbers from the ISO/IEC 14822:1998 and ISO/IEC
14822:2003 standards. Some areas are only implementation-defined in
one version of the standard.
<p>Some choices depend on the externally determined ABI for the platform
(including standard character encodings) which GCC follows; these are
listed as &ldquo;determined by ABI&rdquo; below. See <a href="Compatibility.html#Compatibility">Binary Compatibility</a>, and <a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/readings.html">http://gcc.gnu.org/readings.html</a>. Some
choices are documented in the preprocessor manual.
See <a href="../cpp/Implementation_002ddefined-behavior.html#Implementation_002ddefined-behavior">Implementation-defined behavior</a>. Some choices are documented in
the corresponding document for the C language. See <a href="C-Implementation.html#C-Implementation">C Implementation</a>. Some choices are made by the library and operating
system (or other environment when compiling for a freestanding
environment); refer to their documentation for details.
