SGI generated a new version of STL, however STLport does not follow up
at present.

We use the ObjectSpace STL. I find their support to be pretty good. It is
also pretty portable.

One minor detail, we adopted to use <ospace/std/some-header> instead of
<some-header> for all STL headers, so not to confuse the MSVC. This can be
done more elegantly, but this way we find all references to STL stuff with a
single grep, wich is important to us as long as the portability issues are
not all resolved.

Hope this helps,
Martijn

There's a pretty portable version of the HP/SGI STL called STLport.  I
think it's here <URL:http://www.metabyte.com/~fbp/stl/>, but the site
seems to be unavailable.

It may not provide what you need (string is absent, although rope
probably provides a workable alternative), but it works with Sun's
WorkShop C++ version 4.2.

Presumably RogueWave could offer an STL too (given that their non-STL
library is provided with the compiler suite).

There are other vendors of C++ compilers for Sun.  Check out
Apogee, or Kuck & Associates.  You can get an STL directly from
SGI.

An alternative is to obtain Boris Fomitchev's [sp?] adaptation
of the SGI STL, that works with Sun's compiler.

Or get a better project manager...

Indeed. You can get the Dinkum C++ Library with the EDG front end --
a combination that yields a remarkably full implementation of Standard
C++ -- by licensing the native Sun compiler from Green Hills Software.

They'll even license you EC++ for that platform...

Hi folks,

   I was surprised when I tryed to compile my C++ application on
   the SUN workstation using their lats C++ compiler 4.2

   They dont have the Standard C++ Library

   So, now im in the trouble to porting my C++ application
   heavily based on the STL...

   My application work already on DEC(C++ 5.6) on HP(aCC) and
   on LINUX(egcs 1.0.2)...

   On that systems I just used the libraries coming with the
   compilers..

   Any sugestion? ( I cannot use the GCC compiler on SUN because
   of the project maganer decision..)
