+ <h1>"libc++abi" C++ Standard Library Support</h1>
+ <!--*********************************************************************-->
+
+ <p>libc++abi is a new implementation of low level support for a standard
+ C++ library.</p>
+
+ <p>All of the code in libc++abi is <a
+ href="http://llvm.org/docs/DeveloperPolicy.html#license">dual licensed</a>
+ under the MIT license and the UIUC License (a BSD-like license).</p>
+
+ <!--=====================================================================-->
+ <h2 id="goals">Features and Goals</h2>
+ <!--=====================================================================-->
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>Correctness as defined by the C++11 standard.</li>
+ <li>Provide a portable sublayer to ease the porting of <a href="http://libcxx.llvm.org/">libc++</a></li>
+ <li>On Mac OS X, be ABI compatible with the existing low-level support.</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <!--=====================================================================-->
+ <h2 id="requirements">Platform Support</h2>
+ <!--=====================================================================-->
+
+ <p>libc++abi is known to work on the following platforms, using clang.</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>Darwin</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <!--=====================================================================-->
+ <h2 id="dir-structure">Current Status</h2>
+ <!--=====================================================================-->
+
+ <p>libc++abi is complete. <a href="spec.html">Here</a> is a
+ list of functionality.</p>
+
+ <!--=====================================================================-->
+ <h2>Get it and get involved!</h2>
+ <!--=====================================================================-->
+
+ <p>To check out the code, use:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li><code>svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/libcxxabi/trunk libcxxabi</code></li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <p>To build:</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Check out libcxxabi into <code>llvm/projects</code></li>
+ <li><code>cd llvm</code></li>
+ <li><code>mkdir build &amp;&amp; cd build</code></li>
+ <li><code>cmake .. # on linux you may need to prefix with CC=clang CXX=clang++</code></li>
+ <li><code>make</code></li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <p>To do a standalone build:</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ Check out the <a href="http://libcxx.llvm.org">libcxx source</a> tree.
+ </li>
+ <li><code>cd libcxxabi</code></li>
+ <li><code>mkdir build &amp;&amp; cd build</code></li>
+ <li><code>cmake -DLIBCXXABI_LIBCXX_PATH=path/to/libcxx .. # on
+ linux you may need -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=clang -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang++</code></li>
+ <li><code>make</code></li>
+ </ul>
+ <p> By default CMake uses <code>llvm-config</code> to locate the required
+ LLVM sources. If CMake cannot find <code>llvm-config</code> then you must
+ configure CMake using either of the following options.
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li><code>-DLLVM_CONFIG=path/to/llvm-config</code></li>
+ <li><code>-DLLVM_PATH=path/to/llvm-source-root</code></li>
+ </ul>
+
+ </p>
+
+ <p>To run the tests:</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li><code>make check-libcxxabi</code></li>
+ </ul>
+ <p>Note: in a standalone build, the system's libc++ will be used for tests. If
+ the system's libc++ was statically linked against libc++abi (or linked against
+ a different ABI library), this may interfere with test results.</p>

+ <h2>Frequently asked questions</h2>
+ <!--=====================================================================-->
+
+ <p>Q: Why are the destructors for the standard exception classes defined in libc++abi?
+ They're just empty, can't they be defined inline?</p>
+ <p>A: The destructors for them live in libc++abi because they are "key" functions.
+ The Itanium ABI describes a "key" function as the first virtual declared.
+ And wherever the key function is defined, that is where the <code>type_info</code> gets defined.
+ And in libc++ types are the same type if and only if they have the same <code>type_info</code>
+ (as in there must be only one type info per type in the entire application).
+ And on OS X, libstdc++ and libc++ share these exception types.
+ So to be able to throw in one dylib and catch in another (a <code>std::exception</code> for example),
+ there must be only one <code>std::exception type_info</code> in the entire app.
+ That typeinfo gets laid down beside <code>~exception()</code> in libc++abi (for both libstdc++ and libc++).</p>
