I would like to stop here and thank one of the microsoft STL contributors Stephan T. Lavavej[1] for all the work he has done on maintaining his own MinGW repository for many many years, keeping his hand compiled gcc, SDL and boost versions up to date.

- chewxy 7y agoSTL contributes to STL. Aptonym is apt
- StephanTLavavej 7y agoYou’re welcome! My MinGW distro is due for an update, which I should hopefully have time for soon.
- nurettin 7y agoIt is a bit embarrassing to admit that I've been a fan of your works since early 2000s. Learned sockets from libnuwen. https://github.com/nurettin/libnuwen https://github.com/nurettin/libnuwen
- StephanTLavavej 7y agoWow, I didn’t know anyone followed my personal library (when I was still learning the language)! Glad it helped. Cool to meet a true fan :-)

- wycliffb 7y agoThanks for the distro. I use it for dev on my Windows machine. Can't wait for the update!
- jpfr 7y agoIs the current MSVC STL still derived from the original Dinkumware STL? It’s surprising to see it Apache licensed if that is the case. It seems Plauger is still selling it to other specialized compiler vendors. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/P._J._Plauger#Dinkumware https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/P._J._Plauger#Dinkumware

- zerr 7y agoLets also don't forget P. J. Plauger and Pete Becker from Dinkumware.
- nikanj 7y agoHe's done a marvellous job with videos explaining C++ concepts too. https://channel9.msdn.com/Series/C9-Lectures-Stephan-T-Lavavej-Standard-Template-Library-STL-/C9-Lectures-Introduction-to-STL-with-Stephan-T-Lavavej https://channel9.msdn.com/Series/C9-Lectures-Stephan-T-Lavav... Wonderful work
- StephanTLavavej 7y agoI am now thinking about filming an “Inside the STL” series to help people understand our implementation details.
