The STL per se, as defined by the standard, is a specification, not a concrete implementation. How good/bad an implementation is, depends on the vendor. I like the principles of how the STL has been defined, and I like coding with them...and concerning binary size (CPU performance is not exactly a topic for a MUD...) I'm not happy either, that's why I'm waiting eagerly for cygnus' re-implementation of the libstdc++ ;) - Chris -- Christian Loth Coder of 'Project Gidayu' Computer Science Student, University of Dortmund sg618lo@uni-duisburg.de - chloth00@marvin.cs.uni-dortmund.de +------------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://qsilver.queensu.ca/~fletchra/Circle/list-faq.html | +------------------------------------------------------------+
