SGI Standard Template Library Programmer’s Guide
This is a snapshot of the original programmer’s guide
for the C++ STL developed and shipped by Silicon Graphics until its definitive
end in 2009. It’s still an extremely valuable resource: it covers lots of
foundamental concepts of generic programming as conceived back then by
Stepanov and how they have been applied to a
real world code base. Since www.sgi.com isn’t available anymore, I’ve just
grabbed one out of the many mirrors around and hosted it here unmodified. A snapshot
of the last source code release is here.
