Does using STL increase footprint significantly?

There’s no one answer since STL is a set of templates. Templates, by their very nature, are only compiled in when used. So you can include all of STL and if none of it is actually used, the footprint added by STL will be zero. If you have a very small app that manages to use a lot of different templates with different specializations, the footprint can be large.
