[Click] STL Support

[Eddie Kohler]

Hi IM,

Your element sounds cool!  The answers to your questions are:

Probably not.  The kernel environment is quite restrictive.  But, on the other 
hand, many STL implementations are sufficiently modular that some use of 
algorithms (for example) is tolerable.  The way to do it is to write the element 
& then try to load it.  If you use files, however, no way.

Yes; see ToHostSniffers and ToHost for the kernel config, and FromDevice for the 
user config.  You might also be able to write a special-purpose element that 
would be faster.
