naming conventions - Are names in the C++ Standard Library meant to be in British English or American English? -
after quick search in draft n4296, not find example of name in c++ standard library 2 possible spellings exists (bre vs. ame).
while may intentional, can imagine @ point, if graphics library standardized (and there seems effort going in direction), choice between "colour" , "color" have made.
are there normative regulations or perhaps informal criteria being used decide spelling pick names in c++ standard library?
i'd expect that, if there official guideline, should able find in standard library guidelines on committee's web site. since there number of items regarding naming conventions , none of them mentions american versus british english, can conclude such decision has not been made yet.
as others have commented, there prose , @ least 1 function name in standard uses american spelling bet would preferred in case of doubt. can tell, other libraries do. boost library requirements , guidelines, way, don't have issue either.
