In the documentation that comes with Microsoft Visual C++ 4.0, Microsoft warns that the version of STL which they ship is unsupported. Indeed, we have found compile-time errors when building stlmain.cpp under Visual C++. These errors appear to be coming up from STL itself.
Borland C++ 5 reportedly has an implementation of STL which is well-integrated into their compiler. We'll continue to exercise stlmain.cpp and other programs under various compilers, and post the results from time to time to the Web site for this book. If you have specific comments or experiences that you would like to share with other readers, please pass them along to me at morganm@mail.dse.com.
