wxWidgets uses itself several container classes including doubly-linked lists
and dynamic arrays (i.e. arrays which expand automatically when they become
full). For both historical and portability reasons wxWidgets does not use STL
which provides the standard implementation of many container classes in C++.
full). For both historical and portability reasons wxWidgets does not require
the use of STL (which provides the standard implementation of many container
classes in C++) but it can be compiled in STL mode. Additionally, wxWidgets
provides the new wxVector<T> class template which can be used like the std::vector
class and is actually just a typedef to std::vector if wxWidgets is compiled
in STL mode.
First of all, wxWidgets has existed since well before STL was written, and
secondly we don't believe that today compilers can deal really well with all of
STL classes (this is especially true for some less common platforms). Of
course, the compilers are evolving quite rapidly and hopefully their progress
will allow to base future versions of wxWidgets on STL - but this is not yet
the case.
wxWidgets container classes don't pretend to be as powerful or full as STL
wxWidgets non-template container classes don't pretend to be as powerful or full as STL
ones, but they are quite useful and may be compiled with absolutely any C++
compiler. They're used internally by wxWidgets, but may, of course, be used in
your programs as well if you wish.
