From: Tony Williams 

I think others already mentined it, but if you want something more C++ish
the STL is well worth investigating. Lots of handy templated stuff and it's
about as close to a standard as you'll find in the C++ world and is pretty
efficient. Careful though - it takes no prisoners when it comes to error
checking. Pass STL methods bad data and they
*will* crash.
