Hi,

   I am curently using stlport_4(1).5_for_c_builder_6.   Does BCB 2006
support a STL?   If so is it backwards compatible with
stlport_4(1).5_for_c_builder_6?

Thanks,
Mark

BCB2006 license their STL from Dinkumware, who are probably the most
respected vendor of standard libraries in the market - for most
customers this will be A Very Good ThingTM.

I don't think there is a bug-compatible STLport implementation
available, so if you rely on specific features or extensions in STLport
you will have a little upgrading to do.  If your code simply relied on
ISO Standard Library, then it should compile fine.

We found a few obscure bugs in our own code while evaluating the
upgrade, mostly to do with const correctness.  So we think the upgrade
is a good thing ;?)

Likewise, it looks like the bug-compatible version of Rogue Wave that
shipped with BCB6 is also gone.  So you will definitely have to move
forward if you make the upgrade.

Unless you are doing something strange in the way you use the STL
though, I really wouldn't expect this to be a troublesome part of the
upgrade.
