[Belay the C++] windows.h breaks the STL (and my will to live)

• cppwin32

  15 395 5.5 C++

  Discontinued A modern C++ projection for the Win32 SDK

  

not that hard to wrap windows.h and undef the annoying stuff, and only a handful of files in your codebase will include it anyway. on the other hand stuff like this looks extremely worse and exactly like the kind of c++ that is hard banned in gamedev codebases

• STL

  154 9,698 9.6 C++

  MSVC's implementation of the C++ Standard Library.

  

vector: const auto _Min_word_size = (_STD min)(_Left._Myvec.size(), _Right._Myvec.size());

• WorkOS

  workos.com sponsored

  The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  

• win32metadata

  27 1,280 0.0 C++

  Tooling to generate metadata for Win32 APIs in the Windows SDK.

  

According to the roadmap, expect it to be released by the end of 2021.

• wil

  14 2,458 8.1 C++

  Windows Implementation Library

  

I thought WIL was meant to do that.

• EA Standard Template Library

  40 7,663 2.9 C++

  EASTL stands for Electronic Arts Standard Template Library. It is an extensive and robust implementation that has an emphasis on high performance.

  

Someone else can provide a more fleshed out answer but basically the STL isn't fast or efficient enough as it covers so many edge cases. Game devs tend to use libraries that are more catered to performance with usage caveats or specialized for always being certain how many items you're dealing with. An example is the EA STL https://github.com/electronicarts/EASTL but there are more.

• winapi

  1 60 3.5 C++

  Windows API declarations without <windows.h>, for internal Boost use. (by boostorg)

  

May be boost::winapi?
