10A conforming implementation of ISO C++ is required to document its
11choice of behavior in each of the areas that are designated
12``implementation defined''.  The following lists all such areas,
13along with the section numbers from the ISO/IEC 14822:1998 and ISO/IEC
1414822:2003 standards.  Some areas are only implementation-defined in
15one version of the standard.
16
17Some choices depend on the externally determined ABI for the platform
18(including standard character encodings) which GCC follows; these are
19listed as ``determined by ABI'' below.  @xref{Compatibility, , Binary
20Compatibility}, and @uref{http://gcc.gnu.org/readings.html}.  Some
21choices are documented in the preprocessor manual.
22@xref{Implementation-defined behavior, , Implementation-defined
23behavior, cpp, The C Preprocessor}.  Some choices are documented in
24the corresponding document for the C language.  @xref{C
25Implementation}.  Some choices are made by the library and operating
26system (or other environment when compiling for a freestanding
27environment); refer to their documentation for details.
