First public release of STL/CLR in Orcas is available now!
The first public release of STL/CLR in Orcas is available for download. This version of STL/CLR has most of core functionality done and ready to use. We are continue working on fixing code defects, adding parts of library related to interop with .Net Collection classes and tuning performance. I have posted a brief outline of know issues in this drop on VCBlog. You may find it here: https://blogs.msdn.com/vcblog/archive/2006/09/30/777835.aspx
To download September CTP to Orcas, you need to go here:
I would like to bring to your attention a list of feature areas in the library about which we would really like to hear your feedback (copy&paste from Post on VCBlog):
Areas of feedback
Please feel free to submit any feedback on the STL/CLR library using the Connect website, https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/. You can also leave comments on the blog. Overall, please try using STL/CLR in your everyday programming in managed code. We would specifically like to hear your feedback in the following areas:
- Usability of STL/CLR compared to STL. We would like to hear from you about what you like or don't like about using STL/CLR compared to using STL.
- Interoperability with managed code written using .Net classes in either C++ or C# or any other .Net language.
- Any missing functionality that you would expect to be in STL/CLR.
- Any performance issues you see with your application that uses STL/CLR.
Please give it a try and let us know what works and what does not work for you. I would be happy to address any concern and consider all your suggestions to improve desing and implementation of the library.
