LIBCDS 2 - A Compressed Data Structure Library

Rationale

LIBCDS 2 is the re-coding of LIBCDS with these goals:

• 64-Bit support to allow for larger, single structures.
• Speedups
• Improve code readability
• Include unit tests (googletest)
• Improve documentation

Further long-term goals include:

• Introduce missing types to the library.
• Provide packages for common GNU/Linux distributions, and other OSs.
• Provide the option of installing it as a shared library (easing compilation and updates).
• Wrappers for popular programming languages.

Guidelines

• In order to keep the repository clean, please do your development in the develop or feature branch. This way master should always be at a usable state. It may help to use Git Flow for this (although it is unnecessary if you are familiar with Git branching - Git Flow is just a helpful wrapper).

• When you commit, it is useful to give a good message, please read this (short) guide on Git commit messages.

• The code tries to follow this style guide C++ Style Guide.

• Reviews are posted here.

• Before commiting or sending any code for review, please make sure you run all tests and 'make cpplint' to check for style errors.
