Hi,
I am working on a component that will end up as a PD external and I am needing a hashmap or something similar - poking around I discover the Standard Template Library which looks like it has what I need (which
makes me feel old - this has appeared since I stopped using C++ afer using it for years and years - eek!)
The standard STL doesn't have a hash_map, but it is a common extension. There is a map object that will work in most instances, however.
Anyway - my questions is - if I use this (I am using Visual C++ .Net at the moment ) will my stuff compile on all of the other non-windows platforms you guys are using?
If you use map it will work everywhere, but if you use hash_map it will not work on newer versions of gcc (3.0 and above).
I assume that STL is ok and not a pile of garbage that everyone avoids like the plague.
I use the STL and like it because it is powerful and fast. Other people avoid it like the plague, though! If this is your first use of it be prepared for some truly awful compiler error messages and interesting debugging sessions.
