Exporting STL objects from a DLL

[Grey Alien]

I have an exported class which delegates to a std::map variable. When
building, I get the warning that I should export std::map for clients of
my DLL to be able to work properly.

HOWEVER, according to this:

See: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/168958

Relevant text is:
"The only STL container that can currently be exported is vector. The
other containers (that is, map, set, queue, list, deque) all contain
nested classes and cannot be exported."

The article was last reviewed in September 2005 - I wanted to know if it
is now possible to export std::map from a DLL?

The other way is to hide your implementation details, export interfaces
instead of classes.
