Basics

Utility functions and classes.

ripple/basic should contain no dependencies on other modules.

Choosing a rippled container.

std::vector
- For ordered containers with most insertions or erases at the end.
std::deque
- For ordered containers with most insertions or erases at the start or end.
std::list
- For ordered containers with inserts and erases to the middle.
- For containers with iterators stable over insert and erase.
- Generally slower and bigger than std::vector or std::deque except for those cases.
std::set
- For sorted containers.
ripple::hash_set
- Where inserts and contains need to be O(1).
- For "small" sets, std::set might be faster and smaller.
ripple::hardened_hash_set
- For data sets where the key could be manipulated by an attacker in an attempt to mount an algorithmic complexity attack: see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algorithmic_complexity_attack
