16.4.2.4 Freestanding implementations [compliance]

1
#
Two kinds of implementations are defined: hosted and freestanding ([intro.compliance]); the kind of the implementation is implementation-defined.
For a hosted implementation, this document describes the set of available headers.
2
#
A freestanding implementation has an implementation-defined set of headers.
This set shall include at least the headers shown in Table 24.

#
The supplied version of the header <cstdlib> shall declare at least the functions abort, atexit, at_­quick_­exit, exit, and quick_­exit ([support.start.term]).
The supplied version of the header <atomic> shall meet the same requirements as for a hosted implementation except that support for always lock-free integral atomic types ([atomics.lockfree]) is implementation-defined, and whether or not the type aliases atomic_­signed_­lock_­free and atomic_­unsigned_­lock_­free are defined ([atomics.alias]) is implementation-defined.
The other headers listed in this table shall meet the same requirements as for a hosted implementation.
