+*** Changes in GCC 3.1:
+
+* -fhonor-std and -fno-honor-std have been removed. -fno-honor-std was
+ a workaround to allow std compliant code to work with the non-std
+ compliant libstdc++-v2. libstdc++-v3 is std compliant.
+
+* The C++ ABI has been changed to correctly handle this code:
+
+ struct A {
+ void operator delete[] (void *, size_t);
+ };
+
+ struct B : public A {
+ };
+
+ new B[10];
+
+ The amount of storage allocated for the array will be greater than
+ it was in 3.0, in order to store the number of elements in the
+ array, so that the correct size can be passed to `operator delete[]'
+ when the array is deleted. Previously, the value passed to
+ `operator delete[]' was unpredictable.
+
+ This change will only affect code that declares a two-argument
+ `operator delete[]' with a second parameter of type `size_t'
+ in a base class, and does not override that definition in a
+ derived class.
+
+* The C++ ABI has been changed so that:
+
+ struct A {
+ void operator delete[] (void *, size_t);
+ void operator delete[] (void *);
+ };
+
+ does not cause unnecessary storage to be allocated when an array of
+ `A' objects is allocated.
+
+ This change will only affect code that declares both of these
+ forms of `operator delete[]', and declared the two-argument form
+ before the one-argument form.
+
+* The C++ ABI has been changed so that when a parameter is passed by value,
+ any cleanup for that parameter is performed in the caller, as specified
+ by the ia64 C++ ABI, rather than the called function as before.
+
+*** Changes in GCC 3.0:
+
+* Support for guiding declarations has been removed.
+
+* G++ now supports importing member functions from base classes with a
+ using-declaration.
+
+* G++ now enforces access control for nested types.
+
+* In some obscure cases, functions with the same type could have the
+ same mangled name. This bug caused compiler crashes, link-time clashes,
+ and debugger crashes. Fixing this bug required breaking ABI
+ compatibility for the functions involved. The functions in questions
+ are those whose types involve non-type template arguments whose
+ mangled representations require more than one digit.
+
+* Support for assignment to `this' has been removed. This idiom
+ was used in the very early days of C++, before users were allowed
+ to overload `operator new'; it is no longer allowed by the C++
+ standard.
+
+* Support for signatures, a G++ extension, have been removed.
+
+* Certain invalid conversions that were previously accepted will now
+ be rejected. For example, assigning function pointers of one type
+ to function pointers of another type now requires a cast, whereas
+ previously g++ would sometimes accept the code even without the
+ cast.
+
+* G++ previously allowed `sizeof (X::Y)' where Y was a non-static
+ member of X, even if the `sizeof' expression occurred outside
+ of a non-static member function of X (or one of its derived classes,
+ or a member-initializer for X or one of its derived classes.) This
+ extension has been removed.
+
+* G++ no longer allows you to overload the conditional operator (i.e.,
+ the `?:' operator.)
+
+* The "named return value" extension:
+
+ int f () return r { r = 3; }
+
+ has been deprecated, and will be removed in a future version of G++.
+
*** Changes in GCC 2.95:
* Messages about non-conformant code that we can still handle ("pedwarns")
