{{title | A list of open source C++ libraries}}

The objective of this page is to build a comprehensive list of open source C++ libraries, so that when one needs an implementation of particular functionality, one needn't to waste time searching on web ([https://duckduckgo.com/ DuckDuckGo], [https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl Google], [https://www.bing.com/ Bing] etc.).

 

 

The page is provided 'as is' - with the hope of being useful, but without any warranties. Outdated, misleading or wrong links might appear here. If you've noticed one of these, it would be great if you fixed the error.
