STLSoft

Multi-platform class library that acts as a extension to the Standard Template Library.

It's not commonly used on OS/2 but on an occasion other libraries have a dependency on one of the libraries in the package and typically that portion gets ported rather than the whole package. A number of functions in the library are Microsoft Windows specific.

Version

• Last known version: 1.9.118 - 2014-05-31

Current status for OS/2 is actually unknown, portions of the library have been compiled using Open Watcom when dependencies in other libraries and applications have demanded it and that has gone mostly without a hitch but it does not seem anyone has tried a full port, if using the GCC toolchain you should not expect many problems. It's known that this version has some problems with recent Visual C++ compilers on MS Windows.
