Tom Honermann 7e7013c5d4 [libc++][cuchar] Declare std::c8rtomb and std::mbrtoc8 in <cuchar> if available.
This change implements the C library dependent portions of P0482R6
(char8_t: A type for UTF-8 characters and strings (Revision 6)) by
declaring std::c8rtomb() and std::mbrtoc8() in the <cuchar> header
when implementations are provided by the C library as specified by
WG14 N2653 (char8_t: A type for UTF-8 characters and strings
(Revision 1)) as adopted for C23.

A _LIBCPP_HAS_NO_C8RTOMB_MBRTOC8 macro is defined by the libc++ __config
header unless it is known that the C library provides these functions
in the current compilation mode. This macro is used for testing purposes
and may be of use to libc++ users. At present, the only C library known
to implement these functions is GNU libc as of its 2.36 release.

These are in-progress notes for the upcoming libc++ 16 release.
Release notes for previous releases can be found on
`the Download Page <https://releases.llvm.org/download.html>`_.
Introduction
============
This document contains the release notes for the libc++ C++ Standard Library,
part of the LLVM Compiler Infrastructure, release 16.0.0. 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
see the `releases page <https://llvm.org/releases/>`_.
What's New in Libc++ 16.0.0?
============================
Implemented Papers
------------------
- P2499R0 - ``string_view`` range constructor should be ``explicit``
- P2417R2 - A more constexpr bitset
- P2445R1 - ``std::forward_like``
- P2273R3 - Making ``std::unique_ptr`` constexpr
Improvements and New Features
-----------------------------
- Declarations of ``std::c8rtomb()`` and ``std::mbrtoc8()`` from P0482R6 are
now provided when implementations in the global namespace are provided by
the C library.
Deprecations and Removals
-------------------------
- Several incidental transitive includes have been removed from libc++. Those
includes are removed based on the language version used. Incidental transitive
inclusions of the following headers have been removed:
- C++20: ``chrono``
- C++2b: ``algorithm``, ``array``, ``atomic``, ``bit``, ``chrono``,
``climits``, ``cmath``, ``compare``, ``concepts``, ``cstdarg``, ``cstdlib``,
``cstring``, ``ctime``, ``exception``, ``functional``,
``initializer_list``, ``iosfwd``, ``iterator``, ``memory``, ``new``,
``optional``, ``ratio``, ``stdexcept``, ``tuple``, ``typeinfo``,
``unordered_map``, ``utility``, ``variant``, ``vector``.
Users can also remove all incidental transitive includes by defining
``_LIBCPP_REMOVE_TRANSITIVE_INCLUDES`` regardless of the language version
in use. Note that in the future, libc++ reserves the right to remove
incidental transitive includes more aggressively, in particular regardless
of the language version in use.
Upcoming Deprecations and Removals
----------------------------------
API Changes
-----------
- The comparison operators on ``thread::id`` are now defined as free-standing
functions instead of as hidden friends, in conformance with the C++ standard.
Also see `issue 56187 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/56187>`_.
- ``_LIBCPP_ENABLE_NODISCARD`` and ``_LIBCPP_DISABLE_NODISCARD_AFTER_CXX17`` are no longer respected.
Any standards-required ``[[nodiscard]]`` applications in C++20 are now always enabled. Any extended applications
are now enabled by default and can be disabled by defining ``_LIBCPP_DISABLE_NODISCARD_EXT``.
