Lavavej - Inside STL (the person, not the library) Stephan T. Lavavej is a Channel 9 hero. You've learned a great deal from him over the years, but you've not really learned much about him. How did STL—that's what we call him since, well, look at his name and what he does for a living—get to where he is today? What's his story?

Of course, given STL's expertise and passion, this conversation includes STL's perspectives and opinions on C++ programming, compilers, templates, modern C++, STL (the library), and more. But it also includes a more personal perspective, too. How does STL think about computing? And why C++? 

Did you know that STL can compile code in his head? Really.

Erik Meijer leads this friendly interrogation and considering the IQ, passion, and great conversation the hour goes by much too fast. It's a real pleasure to share a more personal piece on STL as an addition to the usual deeply technical and pragmatic lectures and conversations we're accustomed to. But there's certainly no talking to STL without talking about STL and C++. You are definitely going to learn things by listening in. This is for sure.

A huge thanks to Erik for taking the time to do this interview. He was super busy cranking code (C++ at that) on the day we shot this and this interview took him away from his keyboard. Thank you, man.

Thank you, STL, for taking the time to be checked in on.

Lavavej Smiley

Advanced STL covers the gory details of the STL's implementation -> you will therefore need to be versed in the basics of STL, competent in C++ (of course), and be able to pay attention! Stephan is a great teacher and we are so happy to have him on Channel 9—the only place you'll find this level of technical detail regarding the internals of the STL. There are no books. There are no websites. This is Stephan taking us into what is uncharted territory for most, even those with a more advanced STL skill set.

This is a very special episode—it was driven by you!

In Part 5, Niner KerrekSB commented that a great topic for this advanced series would be developing a generic mechanism for printing out STL containers (like a vector of ints). Then Sven Groot helped out with his usual brilliance. I love this Niner interaction!

You got STL to lecture on this stuff! That is HUGE Smiley

In fact, STL was so impressed that he decided to try it out himself and see how generic he could make it. He uses only those STL features available in VC10 SP1 (for example, variadic templates are not used in his solution because the feature is not implemented in VC 2010 SP1...).

What did Stephan come up with? Get STL's PrettyPrinter implementation, then watch this great episode to learn the details behind the code. Thanks STL, KerrekSB, and Sven Groot for an excellent exercise!

You'll also learn about some C++0x features that are used inside STL.

As you continue to learn about the beauty and the weirdness inside the STL, you should take Stephan's wisdom to heart and see if you can implement some of the patterns he shares with you in your own code. And you should, of course, take his advice about what NOT to do in your native compositions.

There are no websites. This is Stephan taking us into what is uncharted territory for most of us, even those with a more advanced STL skill set.

In the first part of this n-part series, Stephan digs deeply into shared_ptr. As you already know (since you will have the perquisites in place in your mind before watching this—remember, watch the intro series first), shared_ptr is a wrapper of sorts: it wraps a reference-counted smart pointer around a dynamically allocated object. shared_ptr is a template class (almost everything in the STL is a template, thus the name...) that describes an object (int, string, vector, etc.) that uses reference counting to manage resources. A shared_ptr object effectively either holds a pointer to the resource that it owns or holds a null pointer. A resource can be owned by more than one shared_ptr object, and when the last shared_ptr object that owns a particular resource is destroyed, the resource is freed.

You will also learn a lot about the beauty and the weirdness inside the STL. You should take Stephan's wisdom to heart and see if you can implement some of the patterns he shares with you in your own code, and you should of course take his advice about what NOT to do in your native compositions.

Lavavej - Standard Template Library (STL), 10 of 10 Welcome to another installment of C9 Lectures covering the powerful general C++ library, STL. Joining us once again is the great Stephan T. Lavavej, Microsoft's keeper of the STL cloth (this means he manages the partnership between the owners of STL (dinkumware) and Microsoft, including, of course, bug fixes and enhancements to the STL that ships as part of Visual C++). Simply, Stephan is a C++ library developer.

As is Stephan's nature, he elaborates on technical details in very substantive way. The Standard Template Library, orSTL, is a C++ library of container classes, algorithms, and iterators. STL provides many fundamental algorithms and data structures. Furthermore, the STL is a general-purpose library: its components are heavily parameterized, such that almost every component in the STL is a template.

Merry Christmas to all Niners who celebrate it! This is the last episode of STL's intro to STL series. A great way to end the year and a nice gift for all of you out there who are interested in and/or practice the art of native programming with C++. Enjoy. Learn.

In part 10, the final chapter in this magnificent introductory series covering the STL, Stephan introduces us to type traits.

Stephan (I guess we can just call him STL now, eh?) will be back!! Look for a new series on advanced C++ topics and deeper dives into the implementation details of the STL. Yes, Advanced STL with STL is on the horizon. Much thanks and praise for Stephan's exemplary lectures!

Enjoy! Learn!

Joining us once again is the great Stephan T. Lavavej, Microsoft's keeper of the STL cloth (this means he manages the partnership between the owners of STL (dinkumware) and Microsoft, including, of course, bug fixes and enhancements to the STL that ships as part of Visual C++). Simply, Stephan is a C++ library developer.As is Stephan's nature, he elaborates on technical details in very substantive way. The Standard Template Library, or STL, is a C++ library of container classes, algorithms, and iterators. STL provides many fundamental algorithms and data structures. Furthermore, the STL is a general-purpose library: its components are heavily parameterized, such that almost every component in the STL is a template. In part 3, Stephan focuses on shared_ptr and unique_ptr. You will also learn a bit about exception safety and, of course, get another challenging homework assignment. Part 1Part 2Enjoy!

Lavavej native functionality, specifically in the STL (Standard Template Library) that ships with VS 2010.

Who better to dig into some STL internals than the great Stephan T. Lavavej? Stephan spends most of his time maintaining the STL (along with the core producers of the library, who last I heard work from a remote location in Hawaii...). Stephan is no stranger to those of us who spend time in the native programming world (and use C++, specifically, to compose), and you've already met Stephan a few times on C9.

As always, this conversation just happened. Stephan and I didn't draft up some highly structured and scripted plan. Spontaneity is always our goal, and we met that goal here! So, if you are interested in STL internals and C++ in general, then this is for you.

Thank you, Stephan, for another great lesson.

Enjoy!

Lavavej: Everything you ever wanted to know about nullptr In C++, 0 is an abused integer. It is used to reflect, well, 0 as a value of type int and it is also used to represent a null pointer... The latter has led to many bugs and confusion over the past 30 years. Put simply, using 0 is and has always been a bad idea (then there's the NULL macro...). Well, my friends, today, with the release of Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 and the updated C++ language, compilers and libraries that come with it, the abuse of 0 comes to an end: Introducing nullptr the rvalue constant that actually is a null pointer literal.

Who better to dig deep into nullptr (and a few other topics of related interest and importance) than the great and gifted Stephan T. Lavavej? Stephen is a C++ expert and library author who you've met before a few times on C9. Sit back, relax and learn everything you ever wanted to know about nullptr. Thank you, Stephen, for the awesome lesson!

Lavavej and Damien Watkins - Inside STL Visual Studio 2010 Beta 1 introduces a number of exciting new features for the C++ developer as we include a selection of goodies from the upcoming C++0x Standard. We have already heard about many of the language improvements (auto, decltype, lambdas, rvalue references, …) all of which can be put to good use when using the Standard Template Library (STL). Here,  Visual C++ team members who work on the STL – Stephan (Dev), Damien (PM) and a cameo appearance by Usman (QA) – Usman works in our Canadian Development Center and unfortunately could not be onsite for the video - tell us all about the latest version of STL. We talk about how the language features are enabling many improvements to the STL, with performance being a big  beneficiary. To realize these benefits we needed to update our STL implementation to leverage these new techniques, for example adding “move” semantics to STL containers. Additionally  when users of our STL implementation add “move” semantics to their types that they store in our STL containers then we hook into these as well.

To enable debug iterator support, a program must be compiled with a debug version of a C run time library (see C Run-Time Libraries for more information).

See Checked Iterators for more information on using iterators.

The C++ standard describes which member functions cause iterators to a container to become invalid. Two examples are:

  • Erasing an element from a container causes iterators to the element to become invalid.

  • Increasing the size of a vector (push or insert) causes iterators into the vector container become invalid.

Here, VC++ Software Engineer Stephan T. Lavavej digs into the details of STL Iterator Debugging including its implementation, usage scenarios and interesting facts you may not find anywhere else (Channel 9 goodness). Stephan is known as STL (this is his name's acronym, by coincidence or perhaps it's simply prophetic since Stephan is a passionate advocate for STL, as you will no doubt understand after watching and listening to this conversation). Stephan also dives a bit into Secure SCL, which is part of the VC++ Safe Libraries.

Stephan does not possess a marketing bone in his body as you can tell by his commentary that's weaved into his informal presentation of advanced topics. I love this. He speaks his mind freely, though with fairness, and that's the only way to be.

Enjoy!
