Template Software for the Window Template Library
More...
The philosophy of .netSTL (http://dotnetstl.org/) is essentially the same as that of the STLSoft (http://stlsoft.org/) organisation: providing robust and lightweight software to the Window Template Library (WTL) development community. .netSTL provides template-based software that builds on that provided by ATL and STLSoft in order to reduce programmer effort and increase robustness in the use of the ATL.
Namespaces
The .netSTL namespace dotnetstl is actually an alias for the namespace stlsoft::dotnetstl_project, and as such all the .netSTL project components actually reside within the stlsoft namespace. However, there is never any need to use the stlsoft::dotnetstl_project namespace in your code, and you should always use the alias dotnetstl.
Dependencies
As with all parts of the STLSoft libraries, there are no dependencies on .netSTL binary components and no need to compile .netSTL implementation files; .netSTL is 100% header-only!
As with most of the STLSoft sub-projects, .netSTL depends only on:
- Selected headers from the C standard library, such as
wchar.h - Selected headers from the C++ standard library, such as
new, functional - Selected header files of the STLSoft main project
- The header files particular to the technology area, in this case the ATL library headers, such as
atlbase.h - The binary (static and dynamic libraries) components particular to the technology area, in this case the ATL libraries that ship with the operating system and your compiler(s)
