Freeware C++ Standard Template Library from Penrillian

 Symbian OS has a set of collection and string classes that work well and are memory-efficient. But for developers coming from other C++ environments they’re not familiar. And it’s very tricky to insert them into code libraries and engines written using standard classes.

Penrillian have produced a solution: the uSTL C++ Standard Template Library for Symbian OS UIQ3. Unlike most STL implementations it generates only small code sizes, and it contains improvements to make it interwork with Descriptors and with Leave-based exceptions.
