C++ includes a variety of utility libraries that provide functionality ranging from bit-counting to partial function application. These libraries can be broadly divided into two groups:
- language support libraries, and
- general-purpose libraries.
Contents |
Language support
Language support libraries provide classes and functions that interact closely with language features and support common language idioms.
Type support
Basic types (e.g. std::size_t, std::nullptr_t), RTTI (e.g. std::type_info), type traits (e.g. std::is_integral, std::rank)
Implementation properties
|
The header <version> supplies implementation-dependent information about the C++ standard library (such as the version number and release date). It also defines the library feature-test macros. |
(since C++20) |
Program utilities
Termination (e.g. std::abort, std::atexit), environment (e.g. std::system), signals (e.g. std::raise)
Dynamic memory management
Smart pointers (e.g. std::shared_ptr), allocators (e.g. std::allocator or std::pmr::memory_resource), C-style memory management (e.g. std::malloc)

| (C++20) |
the result type of 3-way comparison that supports all 6 operators, is not substitutable, and allows incomparable values (class) |
| (C++20) |
the result type of 3-way comparison that supports all 6 operators and is not substitutable (class) |
| (C++20) |
the result type of 3-way comparison that supports all 6 operators and is substitutable (class) |
| named comparison functions (function) | |
| (C++20) |
constrained function object implementing x <=> y (class) |
| (C++20) |
obtains the result type of the three-way comparison operator <=> on given types (class template) |
| (C++20) |
the strongest comparison category to which all of the given types can be converted (class template) |
| (C++20) |
performs 3-way comparison and produces a result of type std::strong_ordering(customization point object) |
| (C++20) |
performs 3-way comparison and produces a result of type std::weak_ordering(customization point object) |
| (C++20) |
performs 3-way comparison and produces a result of type std::partial_ordering(customization point object) |
performs 3-way comparison and produces a result of type std::strong_ordering, even if operator<=> is unavailable(customization point object) | |
| (C++20) |
performs 3-way comparison and produces a result of type std::weak_ordering, even if operator<=> is unavailable(customization point object) |
performs 3-way comparison and produces a result of type std::partial_ordering, even if operator<=> is unavailable(customization point object) | |
Coroutine support
|
Types for coroutine support, e.g. std::coroutine_traits, std::coroutine_handle. |
(since C++20) |
Variadic functions
Support for functions that take an arbitrary number of parameters (via e.g. va_start, va_arg, va_end)
General-purpose utilities
Swap and type operations
| Defined in header
<utility> | |
| swaps the values of two objects (function template) | |
| (C++14) |
replaces the argument with a new value and returns its previous value (function template) |
| (C++11) |
forwards a function argument and use the type template argument to preserve its value category (function template) |
| (C++11) |
converts the argument to an xvalue (function template) |
| (C++11) |
converts the argument to an xvalue if the move constructor does not throw (function template) |
| (C++17) |
obtains a reference to const to its argument (function template) |
| (C++11) |
obtains a reference to an object of the template type argument for use in an unevaluated context (function template) |
| Defined in header
<concepts> | |
| (C++20) |
swaps the values of two objects (customization point object) |
Integer comparison functions
| Defined in header
<utility> | |
| compares two integer values, ensuring that signed negative numbers are less than unsigned numbers (function template) | |
| (C++20) |
checks if an integer value is in the range of a given integer type (function template) |
Relational operators
| Defined in header

Optional, variant and any
| Defined in header

Elementary string conversions
In addition to sophisticated locale-dependent parsers and formatters provided by the C++ I/O library, the C I/O library, C++ string converters, and C string converters, the header <charconv> provides light-weight, locale-independent, non-allocating, non-throwing parsers and formatters for arithmetic types.
