There are no widely deployed standard libraries providing sized
deallocation functions, so we have to punt and ask the user if they want
us to use sized deallocation. In the future, when such libraries are
deployed, we can teach the driver to detect them and enable this
feature.
N3536 claimed that a weak thunk from sized to unsized deallocation could
be emitted to avoid breaking backwards compatibility with standard
libraries not providing sized deallocation. However, this approach and
other variations don't work in practice.
With the weak function approach, the thunk has to have default
visibility in order to ensure that it is overridden by other DSOs
providing sized deallocation. Weak, default visibility symbols are
particularly expensive on MachO, so John McCall was considering
disabling this feature by default on Darwin. It also changes behavior
ELF linking behavior, causing certain otherwise unreferenced object
files from an archive to be pulled into the link.
Our second approach was to use an extern_weak function declaration and
do an inline conditional branch at the deletion call site. This doesn't
work because extern_weak only works on MachO if you have some archive
providing the default value of the extern_weak symbol. Arranging to
provide such an archive has the same challenges as providing the symbol
in the standard library. Not to mention that extern_weak doesn't really
work on COFF.

Still yellow because 3.6 is unreleased. While there make Urbana paper
links clickable and list binary literals as available in Clang 2.9
(they've been available basically since the dawn of Clang, but not
having a version number in the table looks weird)

We don't yet support pointer-to-member template arguments that have undergone
pointer-to-member conversions, mostly because we don't have a mangling for them yet.

This allows 'namespace A::B { ... }' as a shorthand for 'namespace A {
namespace B { ... } }'. We already supported this correctly for error recovery;
promote that support to a full implementation.
This is not the right implementation: we do not maintain source fidelity
because we desugar the nested namespace definition in the parser. This is
tricky to avoid, since the definition genuinely does inject one named
entity per level in the namespace name.

This is a new form of expression of the form:
(expr op ... op expr)
where one of the exprs is a parameter pack. It expands into
(expr1 op (expr2onwards op ... op expr))
(and likewise if the pack is on the right). The non-pack operand can be
omitted; in that case, an empty pack gives a fallback value or an error,
depending on the operator.

(for an integer too large for any signed type) from Warning to ExtWarn -- it's
ill-formed in C++11 and C99 onwards, and UB during translation in C89 and
C++98. Add diagnostic groups for two relevant diagnostics.

* Explicitly say that we conform to the two N/A bullets that required no
compiler changes.
* Remove a library feature from our features list.

attribute syntax. There's nothing generalized about this; it's one of
several first-class attribute syntaxes we support, all of which are
more-or-less equally general.
As discussed on cfe-commits, we may want to revisit this if we start allowing
this syntax as an extension in C (or if C adopts the syntax), but hopefully
this diagnostic wording will be crystal clear to everyone in the mean time.

Use internal links to provide easier access to recent and ongoing work.
Also shift up the order of standards in the page title in order to avoid web
search results focusing on C++98 in the summary.
This is done to highlight the modern standards support in clang that was
previously languishing at the bottom of the page.

deallocation function (and the corresponding unsized deallocation function has
been declared), emit a weak discardable definition of the function that
forwards to the corresponding unsized deallocation.
This allows a C++ standard library implementation to provide both a sized and
an unsized deallocation function, where the unsized one does not just call the
sized one, for instance by putting both in the same object file within an
archive.

tomorrow is complete.
There is a missing warning due to a serious issue with template
instantiation in Clang (and potentially in the core language).
