- STL FAQ may be found at ftp site butler.hpl.hp.com/stl/stl.faq
-
- Hewlett Packard has kindly provided that site, as well a
- public domain version of the STL to assist the public
-
- I posted the STL FAQ here recently, but there has been
- an update to it since then:
-
- 2. New e-mail list for STL discussion started
- To post to the list, send email to
-
- genstl@atext.com
-
- To ask to be added or removed from the list, send email to
-
- genstl-request@atext.com
-
- with the word "subscribe" or "unsubscribe" in the Subject line.

- This mailing list is devoted to STL (the C++ Standard Template Library)
- and the style of generic programming it exemplifies. Appropriate
- topics
- for discussion include the following:
-
- - The effective use of STL.
- - The design of STL.
- - Possible extensions to STL.
- - STL programming questions.
- - Language-related issues, e.g., language extensions to C++ or other
- languages
- that would make generic programming easier.
- - Traps and pitfalls in using STL.
- - Design principles, strategies, and techniques for producing libraries
-
- of
- generic software components.
- - Specifying and reasoning about generic algorithms (e.g.,
- required properties of iterators).
- - Application areas to target for the development of their own
- libraries
- of generic software components.
- - Announcements of papers and other publications.
-
- The following are NOT appropriate for this list:
-
- - Flames
- - Questions that can be answered by reading Marian Corcoran's STL FAQ,
- which is posted regularly to comp.lang.c++ and can also be obtained
- at ftp://butler.hpl.hp.com/stl/stl.faq.
