Using GCC 5.2.0, I have lost some C++ man pages; here's an example:
$ man std::stringstream
man: can't open /usr/share/man/man3/std::basic_stringstream.3: No such file or directory
No manual entry for std::stringstream
Does anyone know where they've gone?

/dev/null ?
FYI:
ewaller@turing ~ 1001 % man std::stringstream
man: can't open /usr/share/man/man3/std::basic_stringstream.3: No such file or directory
No manual entry for std::stringstream
ewaller@turing ~ [16]1002 %

That man page existed a year and a half ago, so I'm glad it isn't just me who's lost it. I threw a few queries at the Arch lists but didn't find anything relevant; so, what to do now? (hope that allan shows up again? :^))

It seems to be a bug in gcc (it affects also other distributions, for example: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo … bug=783883). You should open a bug report upstream.
--edit: well, maybe it can be actually a packaging bug... pacman says
$ pacman -Qo "/usr/share/man/man3/std::stringstream.3.gz"
/usr/share/man/man3/std::stringstream.3.gz is owned by gcc 5.2.0-2
however that file (and many other man pages) is not present if I rebuild gcc using ABS.
