What is the "QTL" library?

Question

In a question about forward declaring templates, and an answer that this is not possible doing manually for standard templates, a commenter says

That's why I prefer QTL - I can write forward declaration for any template.

What is that "QTL"? I have never heard about it and google doesn't come up with something useful for me.

Answer 1

QTL is the Qt Template Library like already answered. For a comparison between QTL/STL check this link :

http://blog.codeimproved.net/posts/qtl-stl.html

The drawback of QTL if you do not already use Qt is that you should link your application with Qt dlls. In any case Qt is a great open-source (LGPL) application/UI framework worth learning.

Answer 2

In Genetics, QTL means Quantitative Trait Loci. It's a region of the genome which has been found associated to a quantitative trait for example blood pressure, wieght etc....

A QTL library is a library where all identified QTLs and the related information are saved and made available.

Hope that helps
