I find it is more the mindset of the "typical" embedded programmers.
I've seen people fret over packing bits into a structure they are
going to pass over a WAN link several times a day. I finally gave up
trying to find embedded work using the STL. All the more sad because,
more often than not, "embedded" these days (circa 2001) means a 300
Mhz PPC with 64 MB RAM. Tell me why I can't use the STL on that?
However, C++ (including the STL) was adopted as an ANSI standard
many years ago (1998, if I recall correctly); so compiler vendors
have had quite a bit of time to update their products, and my
opinion is that any compiler that doesn't support STL today counts
as "no longer being developed".
And yet, how many compilers fully support the C++ standard? I can
count them on one hand with four fingers left over. I don't think
"export" will ever be supported. C++ just isn't "where it's at" anymore.
