All of these documents (in fact, this entire homepage set) are bundled with the library source, under the `docs` subdirectory, for releases and snapshots. The sole exception is the automatically-generated source documentation, available separately.

## Source Documentation

In addition to the distribution documentation (these pages), we also have a set of HTML documents generated from the sources themselves, using the Doxygen tool. These are useful for examining the signatures of public member functions for the library classes, etc.

The latest collection is `libstdc++-doxygen-20010501.tar.gz` (3.7MB), viewable online. The collection is also available in the libstdc++ snapshots directory at `<URL:ftp://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/libstdc++/>`. You will almost certainly need to use one of the mirror sites to download the tarball. After unpacking, simply load libstdc++-doxygen-20010501/index.html in a browser. Feedback (and additional documentation!) is welcome.
