Maya Posch

Maya Posch is a senior C++ developer with more than 15 years of experience. Discovering the joys of programming early on, and later the joys of electronics, she has always expressed a profound interest in technology, a passion that she gladly shares with others. Describing herself as a C developer who happens to like C++ and Ada, she likes to seek the limits of what can be done with the minimum of code and hardware to accomplish everything that is cool, new, and exciting. She also enjoys FPGA development, AI, and robotics research, in addition to creative writing, music, and drawing.

The standard template library


The standard library for C++ (STL) contains a comprehensive and ever-growing collection of functions, classes, and more that allows for common tasks to be performed without having to rely on external libraries. The STL string class is very popular, and allows you to safely handle strings without having to deal with null terminators and anything similar.

Most embedded platforms support all or at least a significant part of the STL, barring limitations on available RAM and the like that prevent the implementation of full hash tables and other complex data structures. Many embedded STL implementations contain optimizations for the target platform, minimizing RAM and CPU usage.
