Converting Java code to C++ ...data structures questions

[graftonfot]

Hi there,

I've programmed in C++ for many years, but I've been away from it for a
while.

I have some JDK 1.4 code that I need to re-implement in C++. I am
wondering, are there any commonly-used libraries for replacing the Java
SDK types (particularly all the containers) that people use these days?
I know about the STL, but was wondering if there was anything more
popular/current.

Thanks.

And I thought it's like riding a bicycle...

You should consider asking in a newsgroup dedicated to your platform,
as well. No, I am not saying you're totally off the mark posting here,
I am just saying, keep your horizons wide.

And, speaking of containers, I would probably not be too much off saying
that the Standard Library containers are the most popular containers
today. Of course, it does depend on your definition of "popular".

Yes.

The container types and algorithms defined by the C++ standard library
which were formerly collectively called the 'STL' are the most 'current'
as regards standard C++. "Popularity" is of course a subjective issue.
Anyway, why does 'popularity' matter?
