The C++ standard library provides definitions

unless otherwise specified[.](#contents-1.sentence-1)

All library entities exceptoperator new andoperator delete are defined within the namespacestd or namespaces nested within namespacestd[.](#contents-2.sentence-1)[142](#footnote-142 "The C standard library headers ([support.c.headers]) also define names within the global namespace, while the C++ headers for C library facilities ([headers]) can also define names within the global namespace.")
It is unspecified whether names declared in a specific namespace are declared

Whenever an unqualified name other thanswap, make_error_code, make_error_condition,from_stream, orsubmdspan_mapping is used in the specification of a declaration D in [[support]](support "17 Language support library") through [[exec]](exec "33 Execution control library") or [[depr]](depr "Annex D (normative) Compatibility features"),
its meaning is established
as-if by performing unqualified name lookup ([[basic.lookup.unqual]](basic.lookup.unqual "6.5.3 Unqualified name lookup"))
in the context of D[.](#contents-3.sentence-1)
[*Note [1](#contents-note-1)*:
Argument-dependent lookup is not performed[.](#contents-3.sentence-2)
— *end note*]
Similarly, the meaning of a [*qualified-id*](expr.prim.id.qual#nt:qualified-id "7.5.5.3 Qualified names [expr.prim.id.qual]") is established
as-if by performing qualified name lookup ([[basic.lookup.qual]](basic.lookup.qual "6.5.5 Qualified name lookup"))
in the context of D[.](#contents-3.sentence-3)
[*Example [1](#contents-example-1)*:
The reference to is_array_v in the specification of std​::​to_array ([[array.creation]](array.creation "23.3.3.6 Array creation functions")) refers to ​::​std​::​is_array_v[.](#contents-3.sentence-4)
— *end example*]
[*Note [2](#contents-note-2)*:
Operators in expressions ([[over.match.oper]](over.match.oper "12.2.2.3 Operators in expressions")) are not so constrained;
see [[global.functions]](global.functions "16.4.6.4 Non-member functions")[.](#contents-3.sentence-5)
— *end note*]
The meaning of the unqualified name swap is established
in an overload resolution context
for swappable values ([[swappable.requirements]](swappable.requirements "16.4.4.3 Swappable requirements"))[.](#contents-3.sentence-6)
The meanings of the unqualified namesmake_error_code, make_error_condition,from_stream, andsubmdspan_mapping are established

The C standard library headers ([[support.c.headers]](support.c.headers "17.15 C headers")) also define
names within the global namespace, while the C++ headers for C library

ISO/IEC 9899:2024, Annex K describes a large number of functions,

which “promote safer, more secure programming”
than many of the traditional C library functions[.](#headers-10.sentence-1)
The names of the functions have a suffix of _s;
most of them provide the same service
as the C library function with the unsuffixed name,

Two kinds of implementations are defined:hosted and freestanding ([[intro.compliance]](intro.compliance "4.1 Implementation compliance"));
the kind of the implementation isimplementation-defined[.](#compliance-1.sentence-1)
For a hosted implementation, this document
describes the set of available headers[.](#compliance-1.sentence-2)

A freestanding implementation has animplementation-defined set of headers[.](#compliance-2.sentence-1)
This set shall
include at least the headers shown in Table [27](#tab:headers.cpp.fs "Table 27: C++ headers for freestanding implementations")[.](#compliance-2.sentence-2)

For each of the headers listed in Table [27](#tab:headers.cpp.fs "Table 27: C++ headers for freestanding implementations"),
a freestanding implementation provides at least
the freestanding items ([[freestanding.item]](freestanding.item "16.3.3.7 Freestanding items")) declared in the header[.](#compliance-3.sentence-1)
[4](#compliance-4)
[#](http://github.com/Eelis/draft/tree/9adde4bc1c62ec234483e63ea3b70a59724c745a/source/lib-intro.tex#L1646)
The [*hosted library facilities*](#def:library_facilities,hosted "16.4.2.5 Freestanding implementations [compliance]") are
the set of facilities described in this document
that are required for hosted implementations,
but not required for freestanding implementations[.](#compliance-4.sentence-1)
A freestanding implementation provides
a (possibly empty) implementation-defined subset of
the hosted library facilities[.](#compliance-4.sentence-2)
Unless otherwise specified, the requirements on
each declaration, entity, [*typedef-name*](dcl.typedef#nt:typedef-name "9.2.4 The typedef specifier [dcl.typedef]"), and macro
provided in this way are the same as
the corresponding requirements for a hosted implementation,
except that not all of the members of the namespaces are required to be present[.](#compliance-4.sentence-3)
[5](#compliance-5)
[#](http://github.com/Eelis/draft/tree/9adde4bc1c62ec234483e63ea3b70a59724c745a/source/lib-intro.tex#L1660)
A freestanding implementation provides
deleted definitions ([[dcl.fct.def.delete]](dcl.fct.def.delete "9.6.3 Deleted definitions")) for
a (possibly empty) implementation-defined subset of
the namespace-scope functions and function templates
from the hosted library facilities[.](#compliance-5.sentence-1)
[*Note [1](#compliance-note-1)*:
An implementation can provide a deleted definition
so that the result of overload resolution does not silently change
when migrating a program from a freestanding implementation to
a hosted implementation[.](#compliance-5.sentence-2)
