[jira] [Comment Edited] (STDCXX-1067) Mac OS X port

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STDCXX-1067?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13451444#comment-13451444 ]

----------------------------------------------------------------

The default, LLVM-based, C++ compiler shipped by Apple does not come with a C++ support library. Instead, Apple  folds (almost) all C++ support in _libc\+\+_, an implementation of the C\+\+ Standard library, leaving only a small layer outside, in the form of _libc\+\+abi_, in order to facilitate the porting of the C\+\+ Standard Library.

Pathscale produces and released libcxxrt, based on _libc\+\+abi_, which adds the missing C\+\+ support to _libc\+\+abi_, effectively replacing gcc's _libsupc\+\+_.
