Well, I found it and maybe it is not a Visual Studio add-in.

Depends how you define "add-in".

There are three different ways you can use STLFilt with Visual C++:

1. From the command line, batch-file driven, directly invoking VC's
CL.EXE and piping the output to "perl STLFilt"

2. As a Visual C++ "Tool", basically scripted from within the IDE

3. By using the "Proxy CL.EXE", a replacement for VC's CL.EXE that
handles filtering. The native CL.EXE gets renamed, and the Proxy
CL.EXE invokes it.

Be sure to read the "README-VC.txt" file in the STLFilt distribution
for some VS2005+ - specific configuration.
