Hello everyone!

I was wondering if the same coding standards as in Coding Standard apply for the development of plugins.

For excample am I allowed to use the containers from the standard library eg. std::vector.

Thanks!

Hi ioversal,

Using std::lib is discouraged, except when needed to interface with an external library that uses them. Often the Epic versions are more optimal for a Game Engine anyway.

A sentence from the Coding Standard:

Standard containers and strings should be avoided except in interop code.
