About:
Burst is a C++ header-only library that provides efficient implementations of radix sort and lazy ranges/iterators. It offers high-performance sorting algorithms and range utilities designed for modern C++ development. The library aims to deliver predictable performance without sacrificing the expressiveness of the code.

Key Features:

Radix sort implementation with predictable O(n) performance
Lazy evaluation ranges and iterators for memory efficiency
Header-only design for easy integration
Boost-like API for familiar usage patterns

Use Cases:

High-performance sorting of large datasets in C++ applications
Memory-constrained environments where lazy evaluation is beneficial
Performance-critical systems requiring deterministic sorting algorithms

Alternatives:

Boost.Range – Burst provides more specialized algorithms while Boost.Range offers broader general-purpose utilities
pdqsort – Burst focuses on radix sort and range utilities, while pdqsort provides pattern-defeating quicksort
