BDE (Bloomberg Development Environment) is a collection of libraries used inside Bloomberg. It's a bit like Boost, in that it adds a whole spectrum of useful things to C++. It's also like Boost in that things do flow from the library into the language standard. BDE is Apache 2.0 licensed and tracks modern C++ usage. (This initial commit gets a library-that-builds into the ports tree; it has no consumers yet so I won't swear that it works completely)

BDE stands for BDE Development Environment. Depending on the context,
|
|
BDE may refer to a suite of low-level C++ libraries, the methodology that
|
|
guides their development, or to the team that develops them. The BDE
|
|
libraries meet superior standards of design, documentation, and testing
|
|
and are the foundation of C++ development at Bloomberg. Among other things,
|
|
the BDE libraries provide an enhanced implementation of STL containers,
|
|
vocabulary types for representing common concepts (like dates and times),
|
|
and building blocks for developing multi-threaded applications and
|
|
network applications.
