49 * - Allocator: library of custom allocator building blocks
50 * - Atomic: atomic operations on integers
51 * - Bind: bind function and arguments to nullary callback
52 * - @ref BitManip: a set of bit manipulation routines
53 * - @ref Callback: library to wrap callback functions in first class objects.
54 * - CallTraits: defines @e best types for arguments, references, etc.
55 * - Clock: an class to measure time.
56 * - CloneFactory: implements Alexandrescu's clone factory pattern.
57 * - @ref CommonMacros: a set of common macros for your convenience
58 * - Dictionary: a bidirectional dictonary wrapper around a std::map.
59 * - empty.h: an empty header for those moments you want to include absolutely @e nothing.
60 * - @ref Enforcers: release-time counterpart of assertions to ease condition verifying
61 * - Environment: accessing environment variables
62 * - Exception: the exception class used by LASS
63 * - IdGenerator: Generates unique ID's of the type you want (well, not @e all types).
64 * - NonCopyable: boost::non_copyable
65 * - ObjectFactory: implements Alexandrescu's object factory.
66 * - @ref Process: concerning process settings.
67 * - ProgressIndicator: a class to print a progress message.
68 * - @ref Python: Python binding library
69 * - Singleton: implements the singleton idiom in a non-intrusive way, very easy.
70 * - SmallObject: base class for small objects that need a specialized allocator.
71 * - @ref SmartPtr: library of configurable smart pointers like ScopedPtr and SharedPtr
72 * - @ref stringCast: casts a value to a type by using string streams, to cast to/from strings.
73 * - @ref Threading: basic multithreading library
74 * - @ref ThreadFun: Uses the Bind library to run existing functions in threads
75 * - ThreadPool: producer/consumer pattern with multithreading ...
76 * - @ref VisitorPattern: implements Alexandrescu's visitor pattern.
