Hi,
I want to read the source code of a function in C standard library.
How could I find the glibc source code in system?
and what about the C++ STL source code?

Thanks!

The downloaded sources of the installed packages are kept in the DISTDIR directory, defined in make.conf. There is a good chance that it is /usr/portage/distfiles.
The C library code is in the glibc archive.
The C++ standard library code is directly in gcc, I think...

Jackie Lin,

Code:
ebuild /full/path/to/ebuild unpack
will unpack the sources for your package of choice.
See also the prepare phase.

Sources will be downloaded if they are needed.

Yes, it is in library libstdc++, which is provided by GCC. Code can also be viewed here: https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git
