These are the sources used to generate drafts of the C++standard. These sources should not be considered an ISO publication,nor should documents generated from them unless officially adopted bythe C++ working group (ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22/WG21).

Get involved:

• How to submit an editorial issue
• How to tell if an issue is editorial
• How to submit a new issue/defect report for non-editorial issues

More information about the C++ standard can be found atisocpp.org.

Install theMacTeX distribution.

If you are on a slow network, you'll want to get theBasicTeX package instead,then run the following command to install the other packages that the draft requires:

sudo tlmgr install latexmk isodate substr relsize ulem fixme rsfs extract layouts enumitem l3packages l3kernel imakeidx splitindex xstring

Install the following packages:

sudo apt-get install latexmk texlive-latex-recommended texlive-latex-extra texlive-fonts-recommended lmodern

Install the following packages:

dnf install latexmk texlive texlive-isodate texlive-relsize texlive-ulem texlive-fixme texlive-extract texlive-l3kernel texlive-l3packages texlive-splitindex texlive-imakeidx

Install the following packages:

pacman -S make texlive-latexextra texlive-binextra texlive-plaingeneric texlive-fontsrecommended

Install Perl (for example, using aCygwin installation and adding perl.Seesample instructions for more details)

InstallMiKTeX

Alternatively, you caninstall WSLand a Linux distribution,and follow the instructions for Linux above.

To typeset the draft document, from thesource directory run:

make

That's it! You should now have anstd.pdf containing the typeset draft.

To regenerate figures from .dot files, run:

make <pdfname>

For example:

make figvirt.pdf

While in thesource directory,you can check for common mistakes such as misaligned comments with:

../tools/check-source.sh

After typesetting the document,you can also check the output for further problems with:

../tools/check-output.sh

GitHub Actions will also run these checks when you create a pull request,but it's often faster if you run them locally first.

A great deal of gratitude goes out to Pete Becker for his amazing workin the original conversion of the C++ standard drafts to LaTeX, andhis subsequent maintenance of the standard drafts up to C++11. Thankyou Pete.

Thanks to Walter Brown for suggesting the use oflatexmk.
