<span class="heading">STLport and Vendor's C++ Library</span>
|
|
<p>Modern compilers come with more or less complete ANSI standard C++
|
|
library. <a name="native"></a>Below, term "<b>native</b>"
|
|
is being used to refer to standard C++ headers and object code libraries
|
|
supplied with the compiler.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The problem that arises when you want to use STLport with them, is
|
|
that putting STLport into namespace <b>std::</b> may violate <b>ODR</b>(One
|
|
Definition Rule). This can happen if some parts of <a href="#native">native</a>
|
|
library (such as <b>string</b>, <b>locale, iostream</b>) are
|
|
instantiated already and <b>compiled into</b> native runtime C++ support
|
|
libraries.</p> <br>
|
|
|
|
Example : Visual C++ 6.x
|
|
|
|
<p> In practice, if the compiler supplies new-style <b><iostream>,</b>
|
|
you have this problem almost for sure - typically that means you have
|
|
some <b><string></b> stuff compiled into native C++ object
|
|
library. The clash can happen even if you do not utilize new-style
|
|
iostreams.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Even if you use STLport with its own iostreams, which means your code do not
|
|
use any part of native C++ standard library, you may still encounter clashes at
|
|
link stage. Just magine using 3rd-party lib which was compiled with
|
|
native library.<br> </p>
|
|
<p><b>To resolve this namespace conflict, after long experiments,
|
|
it was decided to put STLport into its own namespace "_STL::"</b>.
|
|
<br>
|
|
This provides seamless drop-in compatibility and ensures no conflicts
|
|
are ever possible.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>To provide more portability for your code and to make sure
|
|
you use <b>_STL::</b> components,
|
|
not the native <b>std::</b> one, <i>STLport provides macro redefinition
|
|
of <b>std::</b> into <b>_STL::</b></i>.
|
|
This is completely transparent to the user. </p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
As STLport code uses namespace different from <b>std::</b>,
|
|
it never clashes with native library - neither at compile nor at link time.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>For the most modern compilers which implements Koenig lookup properly, "wrapper mode" w/o STLport iostreams may not be available due to ambiguities during namespace lookup. Example: gcc-3.0.
