| ASTL (Android STL) is a slimmed-down version of the regular C++ STL. |
| |
| Its sole purpose for existence is to be able to compile some third party |
| packages. As a result only a subset of the regular STL is provided. We only add |
| feature to it as we need them. |
| |
| Size of the library is a concern. For that reason, template usage has been |
| reduced to a bare minimum, there is little parametrization in classes. |
| |
| To keep things simple, some inheritance hierarchies are just not there (e.g |
| string is not a template specialization of basic_string - there is no |
| basic_string class template.) |
