PlatformSTL
[Projects]
Template Software for general operating systems.
The philosophy of PlatformSTL (http://platformstl.org/) is essentially the same as that of the STLSoft (http://stlsoft.org/) organisation: providing robust and lightweight software to the UNIX development community. PlatformSTL provides template-based software that builds on that provided by UNIX and STLSoft in order to reduce programmer effort and increase robustness in the use of the UNIX.
Namespaces
The PlatformSTL namespace platformstl is actually an alias for the namespace stlsoft::platformstl_project, and as such all the PlatformSTL project components actually reside within the stlsoft namespace. However, there is never any need to use the stlsoft::platformstl_project namespace in your code, and you should always use the alias platformstl.
Dependencies
As with all parts of the STLSoft libraries, there are no dependencies on PlatformSTL binary components and no need to compile PlatformSTL implementation files; PlatformSTL is 100% header-only!
As with most of the STLSoft sub-projects, PlatformSTL depends only on:
- Selected headers from the C standard library, such as
wchar.h - Selected headers from the C++ standard library, such as
new,functional - Selected header files of the STLSoft main project
- The header files particular to the technology area, in this case the UNIX library headers, such as
dirent.h - The binary (static and dynamic libraries) components particular to the technology area, in this case the UNIX libraries that ship with the operating system and your compiler(s)
