Apache C++ Standard Library


Apache C++ Standard Library project is a set of classes and functions, which are written in the core language.

Purpose

The Standard Library provides several generic containers, functions to utilise and manipulate these containers, function objects, generic strings and streams, support for some language features, and everyday functions for tasks such as finding the square root of a number. The goal of the Apache C++ Standard Library is to provide a free, open source implementation of the ISO/IEC 14882 international standard for C++ with cross-platform library, portability and consistent behavior.

History
