The first release of STLport for Symbian OS is ready, and the big news is... It works on UIQ 3.0 too! The only practical difference is the standard C library, which is Symbian PIPS on UIQ and Nokia's OpenC plugin on S60. These two libraries are actually very similar and have some parts in common, but whereas OpenC includes a "stdio server" for displaying and/or redirecting standard streams, PIPS apparently doesn't have such feature. This means that C-style console applications based on PIPS can't display messages through functions like printf(). Initially, this limitation was an issue because I couldn't run the STLport unit test program to test the library on the UIQ emulator or on the device (I've bought an used M600i phone from eBay), but I solved it by writing a simple shell application that launches the STLport test programs and captures their output.
So, everything is in place. There is a good chance that I'll be able to make the release available for download by tomorrow night.
