- Have you actually READ the January 1996 draft standard? It has moved
- ahead of the HP version of the STL. It now requires a compiler that can
- support template member functions of template classes, and I don't know
- whether such a thing exists.
-
- So, for example, the standard specifies a functor-aware sort() member
- function in the container list<>, but the HP one has no such thing.
-
- HP's version should be regarded as a demonstration prototype, and as far
- as I am aware it is no longer being upgraded.
-
-
- >> Watcom C++ (I have one "not as-is"; is there a public port?)
-
- I ported the HP STL to the Watcom 10.0 compiler early last year. Later,
- Watcom released a new compiler version that can compile HP, and I received
- so little feedback from users of 10.0 that I decided not to keep my port
- up to date with the HP version.
-
- My port is still available at the original STL site, butler.hpl.hp.com
- as the file WAT_STL.ZIP. It contains a complete change list.
