The PawLIB static library provides various common utility functions, many of which are designed as high-performance, near-drop-in-replacements for common C++ Standard Library (std) classes. See the official project page.

PawLIB focuses on minimizing CPU usage first, and memory second, and as such it is designed to run on older systems and those with more limited resources.

It is used by virtually all of MousePaw Media' core projects.

• Flex Data Structures: High performance alternatives to C++ data structures, and then some.
• Goldilocks: Testing and benchmarking framework.
• IOChannel: Feature-rich multi-output text output system. (Alternative to std::cout)
• Trilean: A new atomic data type with three unique states: true, false, and maybe.
• Pool: A general-purpose implementation of the object pool design pattern.
• Onestring: Performance string class with full Unicode support. (Alternative to std::string) [Experimental]
