Multiplatform C++ Standard Library (STL implementation). Many compilers and operational environments supported. Standard (ISO/IEC 14882) compliance. Maximum efficiency. Exception and thread safety. Debug mode.
This was a great solution before gcc 3.x included a usable STL implementation. From there it seemed to have fallen to a Windows users implementation of STL. If you are on MS and not planning on porting/using standards, why bother with STL. MS gives you the tools you need. For many years this was a fantastic tool. Now I wouldn't bother. Just use the one with GCC and be happy.
1. Fixes almost non existant 2. Fundamental programming bugs - many defines does not work. 3. Convoluted configuration - double/triple includes to set/reset memory alingment (push/pops) - the pop/push should fixed in the appropriate file when needed not just global included - this causes bugs - in MSVC 2008 - Negative styled option - the choice of static and dynamic option is very confusing.
Really troublesome to build for some platforms. Team is very reluctant to support embedded windows builds, even through applying community patches.
