17Introduction
18============
19
20This document contains the release notes for the libc++ C++ Standard Library,
21part of the LLVM Compiler Infrastructure, release 13.0.0. Here we describe the
22status of libc++ in some detail, including major improvements from the previous
23release and new feature work. For the general LLVM release notes, see `the LLVM
24documentation <https://llvm.org/docs/ReleaseNotes.html>`_. All LLVM releases may
25be downloaded from the `LLVM releases web site <https://llvm.org/releases/>`_.

27For more information about libc++, please see the `Libc++ Web Site
28<https://libcxx.llvm.org>`_ or the `LLVM Web Site <https://llvm.org>`_.

43API Changes
44-----------
45
46- There has been several changes in the tuple constructors provided by libc++.
47  Those changes were made as part of an effort to regularize libc++'s tuple
48  implementation, which contained several subtle bugs due to these extensions.
49  If you notice a build breakage when initializing a tuple, make sure you
50  properly initialize all the tuple elements - this is probably the culprit.
51
52  In particular, the extension allowing tuples to be constructed from fewer
53  elements than the number of elements in the tuple (in which case the remaining
54  elements would be default-constructed) has been removed. See https://godbolt.org/z/sqozjd.
55
56  Also, the extension allowing a tuple to be constructed from an array has been
57  removed. See https://godbolt.org/z/5esqbW.
58
59- The ``std::pointer_safety`` utility and related functions are not available
60  in C++03 anymore. Furthermore, in other standard modes, it has changed from
61  a struct to a scoped enumeration, which is an ABI break. Finally, the
62  ``std::get_pointer_safety`` function was previously in the dylib, but it
63  is now defined as inline in the headers.
64
65  While this is technically both an API and an ABI break, we do not expect
66  ``std::pointer_safety`` to have been used at all in real code, since we
67  never implemented the underlying support for garbage collection.
