Further Reading

This chapter introduced, at a non-complex level, the STL. However, one chapter on such a subject is not enough; you'll realise this if you chance upon any decent books about the STL. As a consequence, we've had to forfeit quality of description, because the STL is a very complex subject area. Many important features and notes have necessarily been missed out due to limitations of space; the result is that we've not seen the whole picture, but a very limited viewa of the STL. The following references point to a number of different sources to which you should turn for more elaborate descriptions of the concepts we've been looking at. These references are a must if you wish to enrich your understanding of the STL.

The following documentation refers directly to GNU libstdc++:
