devel/libstash 19990912 NetBSD

libstash is a collection of programming support routines and useful algorithms that was developed in the course of the SQRL project.

libstash implements a number of algorithms such as hash tables, lists, rings, trees, and binomial heaps. A somewhat unique implementation of reference-counted arbitrary buffers simplifies streaming data.

There is an extensible printf replacement that makes printing user-defined types (such as the buffers mentioned above) as clean as printing built-in types. There are memory allocation and thread wrappers, various aids to threaded programming such as message queues, specialized memory allocation facilities, and lots of debugging aids that help detect many common memory-related errors.

libstash comes with a BSD style licence (without the advertising clause).
