Name        : ustl
Product     : Fedora 23
Version     : 2.3
Release     : 1.fc23
URL         : http://msharov.github.io/ustl/
Summary     : A size-optimized STL implementation
Description :
The C++ standard template library (STL) is a collection of common containers
and algorithms in template form. Unfortunately its standard incarnation
shipped with gcc is implemented without much concern for code size. Not only
is the library itself large, the current version being over a megabyte in
size, but with all the code you instantiate by using a vector for each of
your containers, it is easy to become fearful and opt for using static
arrays instead or, worse yet, abandon C++ altogether for C. This is
especially painful to former DOS assembly programmers like myself, who fret
endlessly when the size of the executable crosses the magic 64k boundary,
forgetting that nobody cares about memory anymore.

Of course, these days everyone has gigabytes of RAM and has no compunction
about loading up OpenOffice, whose source tree is over a gigabyte in size.
Why then bother with saving a kilobyte of code here and there? I can't really
say. Maybe it's that warm fuzzy knowledge that you are making maximum possible
use of your computer's resources. Maybe it's that thrill you get after
expressing your program's functionality in the fewest possible instructions
and the minimum imaginable overhead. Or maybe it really is of no importance
and any code bloat will be easily overcome by faster processors in some near
future. I just know what I like, and it's the sight of clean, concise, and
fast code. Therefore this library.
