      This library was partially written at IBM's Haifa Research Labs.
      It is based heavily on policy-based design and uses many useful
      techniques from Modern C++ Design: Generic Programming and Design
      Patterns Applied by Andrei Alexandrescu.
    </p><p>
      Two ideas are borrowed from the SGI-STL implementation:
    </p><div class="orderedlist"><ol class="orderedlist" type="1"><li class="listitem"><p>
	  The prime-based resize policies use a list of primes taken from
	  the SGI-STL implementation.
	</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
	  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.
	</p></li></ol></div><p>
      Some test utilities borrow ideas from
      <a class="link" href="http://www.boost.org/libs/timer/" target="_top">boost::timer</a>.

      We would like to thank Scott Meyers for useful comments (without
      attributing to him any flaws in the design or implementation of the
      library).
    </p><p>We would like to thank Matt Austern for the suggestion to
    include tries.</p></div><div class="navfooter"><hr /><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="policy_based_data_structures_test.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="policy_data_structures.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="ext_containers.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">Testing </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="../index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> Chapter 22. HP/SGI Extensions</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
