Bill asked:
The Ada Programming FAQ pooh-poohs STL, but I like it. (Yes, I know I
could write my own versions of what I need, but a bunch of Ada
programmers shouldn't need to be told that that's not the ideal
solution.) This FAQ also says the Booch components library is coming
Those opinions do not represent the opinions of all in the Ada community
by any means. The STL is a remarkable piece of work in my opinion. There
is some very nice work going on at Rensaleer rewriting STL in Ada.
And while thousands of Ada 95 enthusiasts wait with bated breath for more
information... :-)
The ftp site for STL is ftp://ftp.cs.rpi.edu/pub/stl/. In that directory, I found
two files stl2ada.ps, and stl2ada-refimp-1.0.tar.gz. Apparently, a graduate student
at RPI (akonstan.cs.rpi.edu) is porting the STL to Ada 95, and plans to have it
done by May. The paper discusses some issues that arose in implementing the
reference port.
It would be nice to merge this work with dweller's Booch Components (shouldn't
they be the "Dweller Components", it sure sounds better to me ;-) and thus
provide a standard data structure library for Ada 95.
BTW, that is "Rensselaer", and the natives of the town are "Troylets", in case
you were wondering.
