The meanings of the word "standard library" are a bit different in the two
languages.

The C++ standard template library is right now much more extensive than the
Ada 2005 STL variation. But Ada.Containers etc. is only one part of the Ada
standard library. When you need to link third party libraries in C++, you
can stay within the language in Ada:

The current Ada standard library includes for example
 distributed systems,
 information systems ("money computing"),
 string processing,
 interfaces to other languages,
 real-time facilities, and
 Ada subsetting definitions.

Ada 2005 adds more features to the standard, including
 linear algebra support, and
 more file and network I/O.
