What documentation exists for g++ 2.x?
======================================

   Relatively little.  While the gcc manual that comes with the
distribution has some coverage of the C++ part of the compiler, it
focuses mainly on the C compiler (though the information on the "back
end" pertains to C++ as well).  Still, there is useful information on
the command line options and the #pragma interface and #pragma
implementation directives in the manual, and there is a useful section
on template instantiation in the 2.6 version.  There is a Unix-style
manual entry, "g++.1", in the gcc-2.x distribution; the information
here is a subset of what is in the manual.

   You can buy a nicely printed and bound copy of this manual from the
FSF; see above for ordering information.

   For versions 2.6.2 and later, the gcc/g++ distribution contains the
gcc manual in PostScript.  Also, Postscript versions of GNU
documentation in U.S. letter format are available by anonymous FTP from
`ftp://primus.com/pub/gnu-ps'.  The same, in A4 format, are on
`ftp://liasun3.epfl.ch/pub/gnu/ps-doc'.

   A draft of a document describing the g++ internals appears in the gcc
distribution (called g++int.texi); it is incomplete but gives lots of
information.
