So, are std::string and iostreams part of STL? Yes or no? The
std::string class design (particularly iterators) has been influenced by
Stepanov's work AFAIK. I'm not so sure about iostream iterators, but
they also sound similar.
The Standard Template Library encompasses the containers and iterators.
Formally, Clauses 23, 24, and 25: Containers, Iterators, and
Algorithms. Most people forget about algorithms...
What about <functional> and std::pair? They must have been part
of Stepanov's original library as well.
Yes, I made a fence-post error. Most people get the big three:
containers, iterators, and algorithms. What they leave out is function
objects. pair is sui generis, and annoying.
