What is the Standard C++ Library?
The International Standards Organization (ISO) and the American National Standards Institute
(ANSI) are completing the process of standardizing the C++ programming language. A major
result of this standardization process is the "Standard C++ Library," a large and comprehensive
collection of classes and functions. This product is Rogue Wave's implementation of the
ANSI/ISO Standard Library.
The ANSI/ISO Standard C++ Library includes the following parts:
A large set of data structures and algorithms formerly known as the Standard Template
Library (STL).
●
An IOStream facility.●
A locale facility.●
A templatized string class.●
A templatized class for representing complex numbers.●
A uniform framework for describing the execution environment, through the use of a
template class named numeric_limits and specializations for each fundamental data type.
●
Memory management features.●
Language support features.●
Exception handling features.●
This version of the Rogue Wave Standard C++ Library includes the data structures and
algorithms libraries (STL), and the string, complex and numeric_limits classes.
