Description : The C++ standard template library (STL) is a collection of common containers
: and algorithms in template form. Unfortunately its standard incarnation
: shipped with gcc is implemented without much concern for code size. Not only
: is the library itself large, the current version being over a megabyte in
: size, but with all the code you instantiate by using a vector for each of
: your containers, it is easy to become fearful and opt for using static
: arrays instead or, worse yet, abandon C++ altogether for C. This is
: especially painful to former DOS assembly programmers like myself, who fret
: endlessly when the size of the executable crosses the magic 64k boundary,
: forgetting that nobody cares about memory anymore.
:
: Of course, these days everyone has gigabytes of RAM and has no compunction
: about loading up OpenOffice, whose source tree is over a gigabyte in size.
: Why then bother with saving a kilobyte of code here and there? I can't really
: say. Maybe it's that warm fuzzy knowledge that you are making maximum possible
: use of your computer's resources. Maybe it's that thrill you get after
: expressing your program's functionality in the fewest possible instructions
: and the minimum imaginable overhead. Or maybe it really is of no importance
: and any code bloat will be easily overcome by faster processors in some near
: future. I just know what I like, and it's the sight of clean, concise, and
: fast code. Therefore this library.
