Hi all, In the past few months I saw that OSG was ported to iPhone and worked well. It is also being prepared to be migrated to more mobile platforms like Android and Symbian (e.g. a new OpenThreads implementation with Qt). With these in mind, I'm now considering if we could provide a lightweighted STL library instead of the normal one while porting OSG to mobile devices.
The STL library itself may be too large for developing with memory limitation. Although memory size is not so important in modern desktop and mobile platforms, we can still benifit from the maximum saving of resources, and make use of possibly cleaner and faster code, especially in the rendering back-end. I've had a glance of the uSTL library (http://ustl.sourceforge.net/) and thought it might be a good start. I haven't planned for any implementations about merging uSTL into OSG or implementing another one to replace the normal STL library when required for mobile developing, but just would like to start a discussion at present. One of my friend is working in Nokia and he provides me some useful information of the concept of uSTL, and a portable version of it under Symbian. I really hope somebody (including myself :-) can give more suggestions and solutions, and work out a usable mobile version of OSG in the future.
