13 This directory contains a port of STLport for Android, which provides
14 a simple STL implementation. Note that it currently does not support
15 C++ exceptions and RTTI. Support for wchar_t and locales is probably buggy.
16
17 You can either use it as a static or shared library.
18
19 1/ The static library is recommended if you will only produce
20 one shared library for your project. All necessary STLport functions
21 will be added to it. This option should also generate smaller
22 overall binaries.
23
24 2/ The shared library, is recommended if you want to produce
25 several shared libraries in your project, because it avoids copying the
26 same STLport functions to each one of them, and having different instances
27 of the same global variables (which can easily conflict or result in
28 undefined behaviour).
29
30 To use the *static* library, define APP_STL in your Application.mk as follows:
31
32 APP_STL := stlport_static
33
34 To use the *shared* library, use "stlport_shared" instead:
35
36 APP_STL := stlport_shared
37
38 Note that, in this case, you will need, in your application, to explicitely
39 load the 'stlport_shared' library before any library that depends on it.
40 For example:
41
42 static {
43 System.loadLibrary("stlport_shared");
44 System.loadLibrary("foo");
45 System.loadLibrary("bar");
46 }
47
48 If both libfoo.so and libbar.so depend on STLport.
49
50 You can build the STLport unit test program by doing the following:
51
52 cd $NDK
53 tests/run-tests.sh --test=test-stlport
54
55 If you have an Android device connected to your machine, this will
56 automatically try to run the generated test command. Note that for now
57 a few tests are still failing (mostly related to wchar_t and locales).
58
59 They should be fixed hopefully by a later release of this library.
60
61 The NDK comes with prebuilt binaries for this library to speed up development.
62 You can however rebuild them from sources in your own application build by
63 defining STLPORT_FORCE_REBUILD to 'true' in your Application.mk as in:
64
65 STLPORT_FORCE_REBUILD := true
66

68 VERSION INFORMATION: This module is based on STLport version 5.2.0
