Projects
During the years I've been involved in several open-source projects. I am currently involved in:
-
The CPH STL: We are designing
and implementing an alternative and enhanced realisation of the Standard
Template Library. The highlights are:
- Highly adaptable.
- Support for other algorithmic libraries (currently LEDA).
- Alternative variants of individual STL components.
- Safe containers providing iterator validity and strong exception safety.
- Extra reusable components including smart iterators and container views. Also, advanced data structures like persistent variants.
I've been involved in several sourceforge.net projects, a complete list is available at my profile at sourceforge.net.
