Defect reports

The following behavior-changing defect reports were applied retroactively to previously published C++ standards.

DR Applied to Behavior as published Correct behavior
LWG 209 C++98 the declarations of the following std::basic_string
members used inconsistent styles in the synopsis:
  • void push_back(CharT c);
  • basic_string& assign(const basic_string& str);
  • void swap(basic_string& str);
uniformed the styles
