When configuring qt, you have a stl and no-stl configuration (on 3.3
anyway, I'm not using 4.x) and qmake CONFIG has a "stl" option for
turning this on/off at the project level.

 

I'm wondering what the affect of this switch has on the resulting binary
in Linux and Mac. Will it be linked to less shared libraries as it's not
using the STL or does the switch just enable/disable some connivance
functionality between QT and STL? The documentation just mentions it as
"STL support".

 

I'm interested in the earlier for the purpose of shipping a binary with
fewer dependencies.

 

Thanks,
