- ABSTRACT
- Interface Design in the Standard Library:
- the Grand Challenge
-
- The Standard C++ Library has presented many challenges.
- As the most-scrutinized of all libraries it must be
- exemplary in all respects. As the foundation of most
- other libraries it must impose no unnecessary overhead,
- nor any policy that precludes some style of programming.
- As a part of the language standard it must be usable
- wherever the language itself is used. Integrating
- support for internationalization, without imposing it
- on those not interested, has turned out to require
- many interesting interface design techniques that are
- equally valuable to any library designer.
-
- This session will use a variety of examples drawn from
- the (draft) Standard Library, and its application, to
- demonstrate how C++ supports the design of a library
- that offers generality without sacrificing efficiency
- or convenience.

- He now takes occasional freelance jobs while writing
- his book on library architecture. He is also a frequent
- contributor to the C++ Report. His URL is:

- Location: Theater (north side of campus)
- Palo Alto H.S.
- 50 Embarcadero Road
- Palo Alto, CA
- Sponsor: Hewlett Packard
-
- Directions:
- Palo Alto H.S.
- From Hwy 101:
- Exit Hwy 101 at Embarcadero. Drive west (follow signs for
- Stanford University.) After about 1.5 miles or so, a
- tall cement center divide will appear. Go under the
- overpass, past a light, and shortly thereafter you will
- see a small left turn lane (no traffic light) which
- turns into the Palo Alto H.S. The theater is straight
- ahead.
-
- Alternate from 280:
- From Hwy 280, get off Page Mill/ Arastradero. Drive east
- on Page Mill, make a left at El Camino, go about a mile.
- The high school is on your right.
-
- Note there is a driveway on El Camino about 200 yards
- before the corner of El Camino and Embarcadero. If
- you are driving north on El Camino, you might want to
- start looking for a driveway just after you pass
- Churchhill Road and then some tennis courts on the
- right. If you miss that, go to Embarcadero,
- make a right, and another right into the first driveway
- about 100 yards after the corner turn.
