- If someone gave you such an implementation, what would you do with it?
- Your compiler would not be able to compile it, as many features are
- specified that aren't supportable by current compilers.
-
- But there simply aren't huge numbers of people putting out free C++ system
- libraries. Other than the HP STL release and the FSF/Cygnus releases of
- C++ libraries for GNU C++, together with a few small bits here and there,
- what you're asking for is not available. This kind of development costs
- money, either from customers (e.g. you pay for it), support contracts and
- donations, or research funding (for the freely available parts).
