- I have a more complete list at
- http://www.cyberport.com/~tangent/programming/stlcomp.html.
-
- Visual C++ version 4.0 is able to compile STL pretty well, though the
- debugger blows up if the long identifiers created by many-parametered
- templates end up being longer than 256 characters. I hear that 4.1's
- debugger still doesn't handle this correctly, but it doesn't crash,
- which is something, I guess.
-
- As for "using a modified version of STL", most compilers do, which is
- one reason my Web page's list is so liberally populated. All I'm
- requiring right now for a compiler to make the list is a good effort
- at compatibility. Compilers like BC++ 3.1 aren't on there because
- they can't even begin to compile it. So, while BC++ 4.0 doesn't do it
- _very_ well, it's good enough for it to make the list.

- Thanks to the many contributions I've received, I think my list is the
- best of the bunch at the moment. If anyone out there knows different,
- I'd like to hear about it.
