While the post may be better directed to one of the Android_porting lists, a similar discussion has erupted in our organization. We are trying to port Android onto a new set of hardware and are trying to re- utilize existing C++/STL-based code in porting the HAL to Android. Are you able to share some of the profiling that Google has done on STL? There is considerable pressure being generated to port an STL library to Android for use throughout the organization and would like to share any existing info that has generated decisions by the Android team.
