Abstract

STL/CLI — STL containers and generic algorithms for Microsoft .NET Framework and ECMA Common Language Infrastructure

C++/CLI brings C++ idioms to managed code development. With templates and CLI Generics, STL/CLI brings the Standard Library containers, iterator and algorithms to .NET development, while leveraging the runtime facilities like garbage collection, verifiability, and versionable binary interfaces.

This talk will discuss the rationale, design decisions and techniques of STL/CLI.
