- The STL WILL be part of the C++ standard. But the standard
- defines the interface to the STL and what functionality it
- should provide, but does not dictate a particular implementation.
-
- Right now, there a dozens of STL implementations floating about.
- Most are matched to older drafts of the standard, some to the
- latest draft. Some are just versions of the HP public domain
- implementation, some are commercial implementations for sale,
- and some are updated versions to work around deficiencies in
- particular compilers.
