Folly (acronymed loosely after Facebook Open Source Library) is a library of
|
|
C++14 components designed with practicality and efficiency in mind. Folly
|
|
contains a variety of core library components used extensively at Facebook. In
|
|
particular, it's often a dependency of Facebook's other open source C++ efforts
|
|
and place where those projects can share code.
|
|
|
|
It complements (as opposed to competing against) offerings such as Boost and of
|
|
course std. In fact, we embark on defining our own component only when something
|
|
we need is either not available, or does not meet the needed performance
|
|
profile. We endeavor to remove things from folly if or when std or Boost
|
|
obsoletes them.
|
|
|
|
Performance concerns permeate much of Folly, sometimes leading to designs that
|
|
are more idiosyncratic than they would otherwise be (see e.g. PackedSyncPtr.h,
|
|
SmallLocks.h). Good performance at large scale is a unifying theme in all of
|
|
Folly.
