Versions of May 23, 2004

Under development via boost.org. Not yet for production use.

Beginnings of a template library to provide a safe replacement for C strings. Based on work by Reece H. Dunn.

The intent is to provide the essential functionality of C strings, but with buffer overflow checking.

Graphics

algebra3.h -- C++ vector and matrix algebra routines

A drop-in replacement for the utility functions in the popular "Graphics Gems IV", (Paul Heckbert, ed.) from Academic Press. This version is all inline, and thus far faster for the simple functions. It supports the basic 2D, 3D, and 4D vector and matrix operations of computer graphics. A great convenience. Originally by Jean-Francois Doue of the HEC, Paris.

algebra3aux.h -- additional C++ vector and matrix algebra routines

Additions to the above, adding functions not in the originals.

Security

The Obvious Password Detector

A simple piece of source code that tests a proposed password for "guessability". From 1984, but still a good idea.
