“Two practical applications of the Brigand TMP library"
summary
Brigand provides a modern TMP toolkit that replaces Boost.MPL for tasks like compile-time serialization (allocating exact bytes and generating Boost.Test code) and automatic transformation of AOS↔SOA layouts into allocators, iterators and a zip iterator. Benchmarks show MPL blows up around 50–100 types while Brigand runs orders faster (fast‑lane unrolling), and the SOA/AOSOA layout yields about a 2–3× speedup on cache‑bound kernels. Library is on GitHub under the Boost license and compiles on MSVC2013.
