Classes for I/O +portability, multi-threading portability, aid in producing unix +daemons and NT services portably and all sorts of internet protocols +were added over the years. + +All this over and above basic "container" classes such as arrays, +linear lists, sorted lists (RB Tree) and dictionaries (hash tables) +which were all created before STL became the answer to all our prayers. |
