Subject: [PATCH] Remove broken URL from libstdc++ manual
Date: Thu, 05 Sep 2019 07:45:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190905074550.GA8816@redhat.com> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 653 bytes --]

The URL for the "What Are Allocators Good For?" article has been a
recurring source of problems. It moved from the C/C++ Users Journal
website to the Dr Dobbs site after CUJ shut down, and the original
domain changed hands, leaving old links pointing to nefarious sites.

Now the URL to the copy on drdobbs.com no longer works either and I
can't find a (legal) copy of the article online. The simplest solution
is to remove the URL.

	* doc/xml/manual/allocator.xml: Remove URL for bibliography entry.
	* doc/html/*: Regenerate.

Committed to trunk. I think I'll backport this too, so we don't keep a
non-working link in the docs on release branches.
