It is a C++ template library of containers, algorithms, and + iterators useful for runtime and tool development across multiple platforms. It is a fairly extensive and robust + implementation of such a library and has an emphasis on high performance above all other considerations.</p> +<h2>Intended Audience</h2> +<p>This is a short document intended to provide a basic introduction to EASTL for + those new to the concept of EASTL or STL. If you are familiar with the C++ STL + or have worked with other templated container/algorithm libraries, you probably + don't need to read this. If you have no familiarity with C++ templates at all, + then you probably will need more than this document to get you up to speed. In + this case you need to understand that templates, when used properly, are powerful + vehicles for the ease of creation of optimized C++ code. A description of C++ + templates is outside the scope of this documentation, but there is plenty of such + documentation on the Internet. See the <a href="EASTL%20FAQ.html">EASTL FAQ.html</a> + document for links to information related to learning templates and STL.</p> +<h2>EASTL Modules</h2> +<p>EASTL consists primarily of containers, algorithms, and iterators. An example of a container is a linked list, while an + example of an algorithm is a sort function; iterators are the entities of traversal for containers and algorithms. + EASTL containers a fairly large number of containers and algorithms, each of which is a very clean, efficient, and + unit-tested implementation. We can say with some confidence that you are not likely to find better implementations of + these (commercial or otherwise), as these are the result of years of wisdom and diligent work. For a detailed list of + EASTL modules, see <a href="EASTL%20Modules.html">EASTL Modules.html</a>.</p> +<h2>EASTL Suitability</h2> +<p>What uses are EASTL suitable for? Essentially any situation in tools and shipping applications where the functionality + of EASTL is useful. Modern compilers are capable of producing good code with templates and many people are using them + in both current generation and future generation applications on multiple platforms from embedded systems to servers + and mainframes.</p> +<hr style="width: 100%; height: 2px;"> +End of document<br> +<br> +<br> +<br> +<br> +<br> +<br> +</body> +</html> |
