Most of the time, the Standard Template Library (STL) containers are sufficient to perform the tasks that your applications might need, and, in general, creating your own containers should be avoided as they are complicated to get right.

From time to time, however, you might find yourself repeatedly performing the same actions on a container. When this occurs, it is often helpful to wrap these common operations into a wrapper container that can be independently unit tested to ensure that the container works as expected. For example, the STL containers are not thread safe. If you need a container to function with thread safety each time ...
