Ok, I should have been more explicit, as usual. It doesn't use anything in std::, or at least it hasn't traditionally. That might have started happening lately, and some of the platform drivers might, since they can do what they want and they know what they can expect on that platform. Anyway, the parser generally just used the least language, runtime, and OS services it could get away with and still meet its requirements and be robust, for portability reasons.
