std::string in "STL .NET" - .NET Framework

Will "STL .NET" of VS 2005 include a fully managed std::string?

Hi Ionannis,

No, it will not. Nor will it contain a .NET implementation of iostreams. The
iterators should work on System::String so you can use the standard
algorithms on that.

Can you illustrate what kind of functionality from std::string you are
missing and would like to see replicated?

Thanks.

Since it was named "STL .NET" and std::string belongs to STL (while
iostreams do not), I just wondered if we would see a /clr:safe
implementation of basic_string essentially.
It wouldn't be that hard, and anyway I just wondered. :-)

A basic_string template wasn't part of the original STL, historically
speaking. I think that it was based on a string class (as opposed to
template); I don't know who wrote this original string class.

Perhaps in the past, but in C++98 when we are referring to STL, we mean
the template subset of the standard library.
Making basic_string /clr:safe wouldn't be that difficult anyway.

Also I think a good idea would be to make the entire standard library
managed, sometime in the future (even cout).

And place everything where it belongs, in the std namespace.

I am talking about sometime in the future, not for VS 2005 of course.
Now we have STL .NET which is very useful, then cout, cin, wcout, wcin
etc could follow (perhaps some facilities could be implemented with
Console facilities, like operator << of cout by using Console::Write( )
or something), and then the C subset ones.

That is, we could get a /clr:safe managed standard library gradually,
and not in just one release.

A completely managed C++ is what makes sense in a managed environment
(that is, CLR is the platform here).

Unexpected behavior in STL "includes" algorithm

by: Generic Usenet Account | last post by:

I am seeing some unexpected behavior while using the STL "includes" algorithm. I am not sure if this is a bug with the template header files in our STL distribution, or if this is how it should work. For your benefit, let me first quote from the STL Standard Reference (Stepanov & Lee): template <class InputIterator1, class InputIterator2> bool includes(InputIterator1 first1, InputIterator1 last1,InputIterator2 first2, InputIterator2...

should "using namespace std" be used?

by: Pep | last post by:

Is it best to include the code "using namespace std;" in the source or should each keyword in the std namespace be qualified by the namespace tag, such as std::cout << "using std namespace" << std::endl; Myself I am not sure which I prefer, it is certainly easier to specify that the std namespace is being used instead of tagging each member of the namespace?

Problem With Comparison Operator <=> in G++

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
