MSVC's implementation of the C++ Standard Library

Re:MSVC's implementation of the C++ Standard Library by nurettin on Monday September 16, 2019 @09:34PM (#20990346)

I would like to stop here and thank one of the microsoft STL contributors Stephan T. Lavavej[1] for all the work he has done on maintaining his own MinGW repository for many many years, keeping his hand compiled gcc, SDL and boost versions up to date.

You’re welcome! My MinGW distro is due for an update, which I should hopefully have time for soon.

It is a bit embarrassing to admit that I've been a fan of your works since early 2000s. Learned sockets from libnuwen.

Wow, I didn’t know anyone followed my personal library (when I was still learning the language)! Glad it helped. Cool to meet a true fan :-)

Thanks for the distro. I use it for dev on my Windows machine. Can't wait for the update!

STL contributes to STL. Aptonym is apt

Is the current MSVC STL still derived from the original Dinkumware STL?

It’s surprising to see it Apache licensed if that is the case. It seems Plauger is still selling it to other specialized compiler vendors.

“The MSVC team would like to thank Dinkumware and P.J. Plauger for making this possible.”

He's done a marvellous job with videos explaining C++ concepts too. https://channel9.msdn.com/Series/C9-Lectures-Stephan-T-Lavav...

Wonderful work

I am now thinking about filming an “Inside the STL” series to help people understand our implementation details.

Lets also don't forget P. J. Plauger and Pete Becker from Dinkumware.
