Where is the STL.NET?

[rodrigo...@gmail.com]

I'm using Visual Studio 2005 Professional, and I didn't find the
STL.NET. This code:

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <vector>

using namespace System;
using namespace std;

int main(array<System::String ^> ^args)
{
vector<String^> v;
// don't work either
//vector<String^>^ v = gcnew vector<String^>();

v.push_back("sdfsdfsd");

return 0;
}

just gives me this:

There's a C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\include\msclr
folder, but it has only few header, like auto_gcroot.h.
I've found some __CLRCALL_OR_CDECL macros before STL functions, and it
resolves to __clrcall if you're using /clr. But I didn't get it to work
even with just /clr (no pure or safe). Any ideas?

It hasn't been released yet. It should be released as a web download some
time soon (how soon? I don't know).

When it's released, you'll have to make a few changes to your code to use it
(classes in stdcli:: namespace for one, header naming differences for
another).

Actually, you are not using STL.Net, just plain STL, which does not work with managed types.

STL.Net has been postponed to after VS2005. It is in development right now. We are working on ensuring good performance and correctness in all scenarios. You may see some information about upcoming release of STL/CLR soon on either mine or Martyn's blogs.

Thanks,

Ok, thanks for the info.

But is there any reason to the __CLRCALL_OR_CDECLs before some STL
functions?

Yes, Nish got the idea. This is to ensure that STL can be used in applications compiled /clr and /clr:pure.

Seems you have to install the team version to get alpha versions of
STL.NET

Actually, in the final release of VC++ 2005, STL.NET has been totally
removed; and as far as I know, it was left in Beta 2 as an accident (someone
forgot to remove it). So, irrespective of what edition of VS 2005 you have -
you are not going to have the STL.NET bits.

I believe it will be available as a separate download (beta) in a month or
two.
