Outline

Purpose
MNEMONIC: Basic Standard Library System ForWarding Declarations (bslfwd)
Description

Purpose:: Provide compatibility for clients using single-level namespace

Deprecated:: Do not use.

MNEMONIC: Basic Standard Library System ForWarding Declarations (bslfwd):

Description:: Each component of this package provides a code snippet defining a forward reference to a corresponding type within bsl (e.g., bslfwd_bslma_allocator defines a forward reference to the type defined in bslma_allocator). If BSLFWD_BUILDTARGET_BSL_USING_NAMESPACES is defined, the forward declaration will refer the bsl type in the two-level namespace; otherwise, it will refer to the type in the legacy single-level namespace (e.g., bslma::Allocator versus bslma_Allocator, both in the BloombergLP namespace).

: The components in this package are provided to provide backward compatibility for existing clients. All new code must be written using the two-level namespace for bsl types.

Hierarchical Synopsis:

The bslfwd package currently has 8 components having 2 levels of physical dependency. The list below shows the hierarchical ordering of the components. The order of components within each level is not architecturally significant, just alphabetical.
