Is it possible to “link” the STL to an assembly program, e.g. similar to linking the glibc to use functions like strlen, etc.? Specifically, I want to write an assembly function which takes as an argument a std::vector and will be part of a lib. If this is possible, is there any documentation on this?
Any use of C++ templates will require the compiler to generate instantiations of those templates. So you don’t really “link” something like the STL into a program; the compiler generates object code based upon your use of templates in the library.
However, if you can write some C++ code that forces the templates to be instantiated for whatever types and other arguments you need to use, then write some C-linkage functions to wrap the uses of those template instantiations, then you should be able to call those from your assembly code.
