Introduction
============

This document contains the release notes for the libc++ C++ Standard Library,
part of the LLVM Compiler Infrastructure, release 17.0.0. Here we describe the
status of libc++ in some detail, including major improvements from the previous
release and new feature work. For the general LLVM release notes, see `the LLVM
documentation <https://llvm.org/docs/ReleaseNotes.html>`_. All LLVM releases may
be downloaded from the `LLVM releases web site <https://llvm.org/releases/>`_.

For more information about libc++, please see the `Libc++ Web Site
<https://libcxx.llvm.org>`_ or the `LLVM Web Site <https://llvm.org>`_.

Note that if you are reading this file from a Git checkout or the
main Libc++ web page, this document applies to the *next* release, not
the current one. To see the release notes for a specific release, please

What's New in Libc++ 17.0.0?
============================

Implemented Papers
------------------

Improvements and New Features
-----------------------------

- ``std::string_view`` now provides iterators that check for out-of-bounds accesses when the safe
  libc++ mode is enabled.

Deprecations and Removals
-------------------------

- The ``<experimental/coroutine>`` header has been removed in this release. The ``<coroutine>`` header
  has been shipping since LLVM 14, so the Coroutines TS implementation is being removed per our policy
  for removing TSes.

Upcoming Deprecations and Removals
----------------------------------

- The ``_LIBCPP_AVAILABILITY_CUSTOM_VERBOSE_ABORT_PROVIDED`` macro will not be honored anymore in LLVM 18.
  Please see the updated documentation about the safe libc++ mode and in particular the ``_LIBCPP_VERBOSE_ABORT``
  macro for details.
