I would like to know if there is interest in incorporating a generic Base2/16/32/64 encoding library into Boost.
Very nice library.
- provides reasonable performance that matches most "plain C" implementations
I have some code which is base64-encoding limited so this interests me particularly. Currently I use OpenSSL's implementation which I found to be the fastest in my case. So I ran a small benchmark against your library and it performed really well, though a bit slower. I manage to get 566.074 Mb/s with OpenSSL versus 517.928 Mb/s with stlencoder. The benchmark simply consists of loading a large file (~200 Mb) in memory and encoding it in a pre-allocated buffer. I've attached the source. Please tell me if you see anything wrong with it. I use g++ 4.7.1 with -03. Best, -- Maxime
