What does reaper use for internal data structures

[Airal]

Just curious? Are they all custom implementations or is some external third party software used like boost? I'm mainly talking about associative arrays, hash tables, tree's, etc.

As far as I know, Cockos is very allergic to using even the standard C++ library. (Which is stupid of them, but well, whatever...)

You might want to look at the Cockos WDL C++ library, which has various low level things they are likely using in Reaper.

Why exactly is it stupid of us?

I can certainly understand not using the std:: library, especially with Windows.

The binary for std:: is different for every version of Visual Studio (2008, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2015, so far...) as well as the different configs (debug/release).

Since VST3 uses std:: and requires compiling a base library to link against, I now need to compile 40 separate libraries almost every time I do a new release. I don't know if this plays a factor with Cockos, but it sure is a major pain in the rear-end for me.
