i'm porting my app so that it now uses stl and boost. can someone please give advise on what stl i should be using? i hear about stlport all the time, but not sure why it is used? ie is it better that the version that comes with the compilers? im using ms vc++ 6 at the moment and plan to upgrade to 7.1. should i use the default stl, or install stlport?
I would highly recommend uninstalling vc6 and never using it again. VC8 (Visual C++ 2005 Express) is free, and far, far superior. If you insist on vc6, the least you can do is install stlport, but the compiler itself still stinks. -----Original Message----- From: bringiton bringiton [mailto:kneeride@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, July 13, 2006 11:19 PM To: boost-users@lists.boost.org Subject: [Boost-users] stlport? i'm porting my app so that it now uses stl and boost. can someone please give advise on what stl i should be using? i hear about stlport all the time, but not sure why it is used? ie is it better that the version that comes with the compilers? im using ms vc++ 6 at the moment and plan to upgrade to 7.1. should i use the default stl, or install stlport? _______________________________________________ Boost-users mailing list Boost-users@lists.boost.org http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-users
i plan on upgrading to ms .net studio 2003
should i use stlport with this compiler? or use the compiler's stl?

With 7.1+ there's no reason to use stlport - the dinkumware library that
comes with it is just dandy.
I would recommend getting 8.0(2005) over 7.1(2003). It's better.

Hi, First of all, I must say this is not the right list for this question. You should direct this questions to comp.lang.c++ Where you should have more feedback. The STL that comes wth VC7.1 has too many locks, mainly on locale code, which can kill completely the performance of your program, causing too many context switches. For this the STLPort is a very good alternative. Besides, the checked iterators are very good for debugging. But, configure VC7.1 to use STLPort is a pain. -- Felipe Magno de Almeida
