The Standard Template Library (STL), a recent addition to the ANSI C ++ standard, "provides a set of well structured generic C ++ components that work together in a seamless way" [SL94].

This paper presents a design scheme for implementing the C ++ STL library components in Ada, using features introduced in the 1995 Ada standard [Ada95a].
