Subject: [ANN] macstl 0.1.5 released -- Xcode compatibility
From: Glen Low (glen.low@pixelglow.com)
Pixelglow Software has just updated macstl to 0.1.5, which now works
with Mac OS X 10.3 Panther and Xcode 1.0. The new version also has
fixes for older gcc 3.1 and 3.3 compilers.
http://www.pixelglow.com/macstl/
http://www.pixelglow.com/downloads/macstl-0.1.5.zip (436K)
macstl is a C++ source library designed to bring the Macintosh into the

optimized for Altivec: it runs 3.9x - 18.2x faster than gcc 3.3
libstdc++ and 5.2x - 16.2x faster than Metrowerks MSL C++. Developers
unfamiliar with Altivec can write to a portable, intuitive and standard
component, and just flicking a single compiler switch will make it run
fast on a G4 or G5, or run correctly on other non-Altivec systems.
The license is BSD-like, which means you can change, redistribute,
resell, chop up or burn the source code to your heart's content without...
