STLport 4.5-0119 for Digital Mars C++
Since version 8.29.18 Digital Mars C++ is able to use the STLport library with a minimum of changes. And since version 8.32.9 it is even able to use STLport with namespace support enabled. DMC 8.32.15 finally added explicit template instantiations.
Despite its name, STLport is a full ANSI C++ Standard library. But you can choose to only use the STL part of it in which case you only need to include STLport's header files and don't need to build a library.

- patch.exe (58 kB - Wed, 10 Nov 1999) (see the GNU utilities for Win32 page for source code and other useful GNU utilities)
Installation
- Download and unpack the STLport library (get it from STLport.org: STLport-4.5-0119.tar.gz
- cd STLport-4.5-0119
- patch -sp1 <..\STLport-4.5-0119-dm.diff
- Optionally delete unused files:
rd stlport\BC50 /s
rd stlport\old_hp /s - Edit STLport-4.5-0119\stlport\stl_user_config.h
- Build the STLport libraries:
cd STLport-4.5-0119\src
smake -f dm.mak - Install the libraries and header files:
xcopy STLport-4.5-0119\lib\*.lib c:\dm\lib
xcopy STLport-4.5-0119\stlport c:\dm\stlport /E /S
Finally, you might want to replace all occurences of __in and __out in the STLport header files with __stl_in and __stl_out. You can use my multifile-replace utility to do the job:
multifile-replace \
-s "__(in|out)([^a-zA-Z0-9_])" "__stl_\1\2" \
-s "#undef (__STLP_NO_KEYWORDS_WORKAROUND)" "#define \1" \
-g stlport\* stlport\stl\* stlport\config\stl_dm.h
Known Issues
- Performance for the DLL version might be slightly lower because DMC currently doesn't inline methods declared with __declspec(dllimport), also see this posting in the DM C++ newsgroup.
