Generic Interfaces in STL/CLR

NikolaD — Tue, 04 Jul 2006 03:34:00 GMT

I am introducing parts in STL/CLR library which are not present in STL. In this post, I give a short overview of generic interfaces implemented in STL/CLR. They solve problem of providing access to STL/CLR container across .Net assembly boundary. I start with showing the problem first, and then a solution to the problem implemented in STL/CLR. ...(read more)

STL/CLR comparing to STL

NikolaD — Thu, 29 Jun 2006 04:17:00 GMT

In this post I would like to describe what parts of STL library are implemented in STL/CLR. Long story short, STL/CLR implements all containers, iterators and algorithms that STL has. Supported types that can be stored in containers are handle to ref class (R^), static ref class (R) and value types, which also includes compiler built-in types and all classes from .Net class library...(read more)

Release of STL/CLR (STL.NET)

NikolaD — Wed, 08 Feb 2006 05:06:00 GMT

I have an update for everyone interested in STL/CLR (used to be called STL.Net). During the last few months, the Visual C++ Libraries team has been focusing on fixing customer reported bugs in VS2005 and on increasing the level of automated testing we do on libraries code. You may find more information on goal for MQ milestone on Soma's blog. This is going to remain the first priority activity for the development team till the end of MQ in preparation for an upcoming Service Pack to VS2005.

Unfortunately we were not able to continue working on STL/CLR simultaneously. Therefore we have reluctantly decided to put the web release of STL/CLR on hold. The current plan is to restart work on finishing up STL/CLR during Spring of 2006. The library is planned to be publicly released in one of the first Community Technical Preview builds for the next version of Visual Studio. I will have more details on this matter around mid of March of this year.
