Solid Wall of C++

The Solid Wall of C++ library is a collection of C++ classes and utilities. This code evolved out of infrastructure used in Apache Traffic Server as I strove to combine functionality, ease of use, and performance. The utilities had become useful enough there were requests to be able to use them in ATS plugins and other, unrelated projects. Hence this library. After much production use, this library has been imported back in to Traffic Server and can be used there in the core or any plugin. I hope you find it as useful as I have.

Most of the library is dedicated to convenience, such as TextView which provides Python like string manipulation on top of std::string_view, and performance, such as IPSpace which enables very fast IP address range storage.
