<ul class="simple">
<li>12 Libraries were reviewed</li>

interface for compatibility with C code (for
example, porting a C program to C++).
There is also a std::string-style interface using a class based on
flex_string by Andre Alexandrescu with a few limitations due to the
non-resizable nature of the class.</td>

more and more forgotten in the C++-world due to the presence of the
standard containers, which don't support intrusive
techniques. Boost.Intrusive not only reintroduces this technique to
C++, but also encapsulates the implementation in STL-like
interfaces. Hence anyone familiar with standard containers can use
intrusive containers with ease.</td>

algorithms. A set of heterogenous containers (vector, list, set and
map) is provided out of the box along with view classes that present
various composable views over the data. The containers and views
follow a common sequence concept with an underlying iterator concept
that binds it all together, suitably making the algorithms fully
generic over all sequence types.</p>
<p class="last">The architecture is somewhat modeled after MPL which in turn is
modeled after STL. It is code-named "fusion" because the library is
the "fusion" of compile time metaprogramming with runtime programming.</p>

code coupling. It does so by moving private parts of a class from the
.hpp file to the .cpp file.
However, it's implementation can be tricky, and with many pitfalls
(especially regarding memory management).
The pimpl_ptr library is a single header file, implementing a special
policy based smart pointer to greately ease the implementation of the
pimpl idiom.</td>
