Is hash_map part of the STL?
c++, hashmap, stl
Solution
The STL has `hash_map`, but the C++ Standard Library does not.
Due to a common misconception, you may think of the C++ Standard Library as "the STL", or of parts of your toolchain's implementation of the C++ Standard Library as "an STL implementation".
It is not.
It is also a great shame that both MSVC++ and GCC (which implement `hash_map` as a compiler-specific extension), place it in the `std` namespace, which is not only highly misleading, but also illegal per the standard. *sigh*
C++11 has introduced `std::unordered_map`, which is not dissimilar.
Problem
Quick question...Is hash_map part of the STL?
