Where to get the source code for the C++ standard library? [closed]

Answer 1

For Win10x64 with VS2017 default install paths,the source code are here:

part1:VCRuntime,which include code that will change for every version of Visual Studio,it contains function like the CRT entry point "mainCRTStartup",the code are here:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.16.27023\crt\src

part2:C standard library,which include code that is stable over generations of Visual Studio,like the function fopen,and it also contains stable CRT functions like _initterm,the code are here:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Source\10.0.17763.0\ucrt

i.e. this part has been moved to Windows SDK,distributed with Windows instead of Visual Studio.

Answer 3

In Visual Studio if you interesting in concrete(specific) STL-element implementation (for example, any function), right click on its mention in your code and chose "Go to Definition" in context menu. (Or place cursor on this mention and push "F12")

Since today 16th September 2019 the Microsoft MSVC's STL is available on GitHub.

Answer 5

Don't forget STLPort & the SGI ones.

Answer 6

You should already have the sources in your compiler installation. If you are using an IDE with a "jump to include file" command, select any STL header and jump to it. If you are using some kind of UNIX, look in /usr/include/c++. See where that STL header includes other headers and recurse :v) .
