Huzzah!

I like to think std::string and std::vector are a pretty big deal too ;)

It will be as soon as gcc with new ABI will be supported ;-)

It means the git repository was not clean when the compiler was built.

Those are a big deal. From a marketing perspective, those are gold IMO.

And thanks to you and whoever else did the work!

If these are as big a deal as people seem to think, the documentation could be improved by including a brief example of how to use.

In addition, the documentation page for vector [1] seems a bit thin. It doesn't have the top-level comment like basic_string does [2]. At a minimum, that should be fixed before going on a marketing blitz...

Nice work!

When checking the upcoming changes for 2.089 (currently, the nightly version), some of the changes from 2.088 also appear for 2.089 (e.g., "core.atomic : msync has been removed" appears in both lists of changes, one for 2.088 and one for the nightly). Is that the same change, or two different ones with the same name?

The old ABI works now at least. The new ABI is blocked on move constructors; libstdc++ has an interior pointer >_<
