With the C++ Standard Template Library (STL), C++ developers have a powerful toolset for maximizing productivity, software quality, and performance at the same time. STL provides both a comprehensive set of container classes and fundamental algorithms to go with them -- a large, systematic, clean, formally sound, comprehensible, elegant and efficient framework for C++ development. Now, in this long-awaited book, the creators of the C++ Standard Template Library explain it authoritatively and in depth.KEY TOPICS:Each chapter of The Standard Template Library covers one STL component, including background, a review of the standard, techniques for using and implementing the component, and hands-on exercises. Appendices present lists of reserved names, a detailed glossary of terms and references, and practical techniques for interfacing the STL with several leading C++ compilers.MARKET:For every experienced C++ programmer.

P.J. Plauger is President of Dinkumware, Ltd., which licenses standards-conforming C and C++ libraries and documentation. For many years, he served as Senior Editor of The C/C++ Users Journal and Contributing Editor to Embedded Systems Programming. Plauger has long been active in the development of C and C++ international standards.

Alex Stepanov, now at AT&T, formerly headed the Generic Programming Project at Hewlett-Packard Research Laboratories in Palo Alto, California.

Meng Lee is currently a Technical Contributor at Hewlett-Packard Research Labs where she and Stepanov developed the original STL. The STL was proposed to and accepted by the ANCI/ISO C++ Standards Committee.

David R. Musser, Professor of Computer Science at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, specializes in research on generic programming. His work with Stepanov provided the foundation for the STL.
