This C++ programming section contains code that I have written, and is freely available for use by anyone who wishes to. All code is subject to the very free license below, but remains the copyright with me.

Much of the code uses the Boost libraries. Boost provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries with an emphasis on libraries which work well with the C++ Standard Library. One goal is to establish “existing practice” and provide reference implementations so that the Boost libraries are suitable for eventual standardization. Some of the libraries have already been proposed for inclusion in the C++ Standards Committee's upcoming C++ Standard Library Technical Report.
