I ported the original SGI standard template library (STL) with some stream support from libstdc++ to AVR during a few free days over the festive period:
Basically you get:
- All containers. The limited memory on the AVR platform will make it hard to find practical uses for the associative containers backed by the rb-tree structure (set, multiset, hash_set, hash_multiset, map, multimap, hash_map, hash_multimap etc.). However vector (especially the efficient specialisation vector), string, bitset, list are all perfectly viable in practice.
- All algorithms and functions. Sorting, searching, iterating et. al.
- iostreams backed by strings, iterators, hardware serial and the LiquidCrystal character LCD display. i.e. << and >> stream operators on to these devices.
Have fun, but keep an eye on your memory usage
