| <ol> |
| <li>This library was partially written at <a href= |
| "http://www.haifa.il.ibm.com/">IBM's Haifa Research |
| Labs</a>.</li> |
| |
| <li>The library is based heavily on policy-based design and |
| uses many useful techniques from [<a href= |
| "references.html#alexandrescu01modern">alexandrescu01modern</a>].</li> |
| |
| <li>Two ideas are borrowed from the SGI-STL implementation |
| [<a href="references.html#sgi_stl">sgi_stl</a>]: |
| |
| <ol> |
| <li>The prime-based resize policies use a list of primes |
| taken from the SGI-STL implementation.</li> |
| |
| <li>The red-black trees contain both a root node and a |
| header node (containing metadata), connected in a way |
| that forward and reverse iteration can be performed |
| efficiently.</li> |
| </ol> |
| </li> |
| |
| <li>Some test utilities borrow ideas from [<a href= |
| "references.html#boost_timer">boost_timer</a>].</li> |
| |
| <li>We would like to thank Scott Meyers for useful comments |
| (without attributing to him any flaws in the design or |
| implementation of the library).</li> |
| |
| <li>Much of the documentation is <a href= |

| Soup</a>, and <a href= |
