19 <li>This library was partially written at
<a href=
20 "http://www.haifa.il.ibm.com/">IBM's Haifa Research
23 <li>The library is based heavily on policy-based design and
24 uses many useful techniques from [
<a href=
25 "references.html#alexandrescu01modern">alexandrescu01modern
</a>].
</li>
27 <li>Two ideas are borrowed from the SGI-STL implementation
28 [
<a href=
"references.html#sgi_stl">sgi_stl
</a>]:
31 <li>The prime-based resize policies use a list of primes
32 taken from the SGI-STL implementation.
</li>
34 <li>The red-black trees contain both a root node and a
35 header node (containing metadata), connected in a way
36 that forward and reverse iteration can be performed
41 <li>Some test utilities borrow ideas from [
<a href=
42 "references.html#boost_timer">boost_timer
</a>].
</li>
44 <li>We would like to thank Scott Meyers for useful comments
45 (without attributing to him any flaws in the design or
46 implementation of the library).

48 <li>Much of the documentation is
