Feel free to use it, if it works. Because I didn't try, I don't know
what technical problems there could be. I've heard that old STL versions
(many years old) were unstable for us, I've also heard that new (a
couple of years old) are quite ok.
In any case, there's nothing in the server that prohibits you to use STL
:)
You can build with CXX=g++ (instead of CXX=gcc) to use standard
new/delete.
