From 53d256bb2790a0e5300f275345c864930b7e6f82 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Date: Mon, 1 Apr 2024 13:25:26 -0400 Subject: Update the "Current Status" section of the website to be current. (#84507) The section discusses the reasons for the libraries inception more than a decade ago. Now it discusses the progess libc++ has made, and the many impressive acomplishments our contributors have brought it. The initial section remains below. --------- Co-authored-by: Louis Dionne --- libcxx/docs/index.rst | 19 +++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 19 insertions(+) diff --git a/libcxx/docs/index.rst b/libcxx/docs/index.rst index 2a7e47d..db55c6f 100644 --- a/libcxx/docs/index.rst +++ b/libcxx/docs/index.rst @@ -66,6 +66,25 @@ Getting Started with libc++ Current Status ============== +libc++ has become the default C++ Standard Library implementation for many major platforms, including Apple's macOS, +iOS, watchOS, and tvOS, Google Search, the Android operating system, and FreeBSD. As a result, libc++ has an estimated +user base of over 1 billion daily active users. + +Since its inception, libc++ has focused on delivering high performance, standards-conformance, and portability. It has +been extensively tested and optimized, making it robust and production ready. libc++ fully implements C++11 and C++14, +with C++17, C++20, C++23, and C++26 features being actively developed and making steady progress. + +libc++ is continuously integrated and tested on a wide range of platforms and configurations, ensuring its reliability +and compatibility across various systems. The library's extensive test suite and rigorous quality assurance process have +made it a top choice for platform providers looking to offer their users a robust and efficient C++ Standard Library. + +As an open-source project, libc++ benefits from a vibrant community of contributors who work together to improve the +library and add new features. This ongoing development and support ensure that libc++ remains at the forefront of +C++ standardization efforts and continues to meet the evolving needs of C++ developers worldwide. + + +History +------- After its initial introduction, many people have asked "why start a new library instead of contributing to an existing library?" (like Apache's libstdcxx, GNU's libstdc++, STLport, etc). There are many contributing -- cgit v1.1
