Qs about STL and MFC


Qs about STL and MFC

Postby wyrd » Jan 7, 2004 @ 2:12am

Okie dokie. It's come to my understanding that STL is not supported by Windows CE, because Windows CE does not support exceptions. That's fine and dandy, as there seems to be a 3rd party port (which lacks <iostream>, sadly enough). However, MFC for Windows CE seems to contain the things I was looking for in the STL anyway, I'll probably end up using it instead. But that leads me to a few Qs;

- For the life of me, I cannot find out what header files I need to include to use certain classes (CPtrList and CFile just to name a couple). And no, I have never used MFC before. And yes, I have checked the msdn documentation.

- Are there any drawbacks to using MFC? Compatibility issues, etc?

- Does MFC offer anything similar to auto_ptr<>?

- Is there a reason why I should use the 3rd party port of the STL over MFC? Aside from speed (which is probably questionable in both cases), I can't think of one off the top of my head. Perhaps I need to be enlightened.

Thanks in advance.
