-
- An ``STL hash table'' proposal was submitted and rejected twice.
- The rejection was apparently due to the proposal being too large for
- inclusion at such a late stage of the standardization process; I've
- heard no-one argue its technical merits and usefulness.
-
- Hence, no standard C++ hash tables in ISO C++ 9X... however, an
- implementation is available in:
- ftp://ftp.cs.rpi.edu/pub/stl
- including documentation and rationale. Also, it is suspected variants
- of it will be shipped with commercial STL distributions.
