[Stlport-devel] STLport platforms

[Young, M. <Mic...@pa...>]

For research, I am developing an OS running on PC based (Intel CPU) =
machines.  I am using gcc to generate code sections for the kernel.
I would like to use C++ STL (more specifically, containers) for some of =
the "upper layers" of functionality in the OS,
 rather than roll my own algorithms / data structures.

Does STLport have a well-defined interface to the underlying platform?
I need to determine what functionality must be provided by me in the =
kernel in order to support STLport.

Is STLport modularized such that I can choose to only support the =
containers portion of the library (and not IOstreams or string),
 or are there considerable internal dependencies?
Would I have to support all the legacy "C" headers?  (i.e., are cstdio, =
csignal, etc. used internally in the library?)=20

Thanks,
    Mike
