一些不错的STL网站

• The SGI STL site, http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/.
• The STLport site, http://www.stlport.org/.
• The Boost site, http://www.boost.org/.

SGI's STL web site tops the list, and for good reason. It offers comprehensive
documentation on every component of the STL. For many programmers, this site is
their on-line reference manual, regardless of which STL platform they are using. (The
reference documentation was put together by Matt Austern, who later extended and
polished it for his Generic Programming and the STL [4].) The material here covers
more than just the STL components themselves. Effective STL's discussion of thread
safety in STL containers (see Item 12), for example, is based on the treatment of the
topic at the SGI STL web site.

STLport's primary selling point is that it offers a modified version of SGI's STL
implementation (including iostreams, etc.) that's been ported to more than 20
compilers. Like SGI's library, STLport's is available for free download. If you're
writing code that has to work on multiple platforms, you may be able to save yourself
a wheelbarrow of grief by standardizing on the STLport implementation and using it
with all your compilers.

In 1997, when the closing bell rang on the process that led to the International
Standard for C++, some people were disappointed that library features they'd
advocated hadn't made the cut. Some of these people were members of the Committee
itself, so they set out to lay the foundation for additions to the standard library during
the second round of standardization. The result is Boost, a web site whose mission is
to "provide free, peer-reviewed. C++ libraries. The emphasis is on portable libraries
which work well with the C++ Standard Library.'
