Details
The BDE team provides Bloomberg's lowest-level C++ infrastructure, including a partial standard library implementation, common data structures, multithreading primitives, a message encoding framework, and much more. The BDE open-source libraries (available at http://github.com/bloomberg/bde) form the foundation of C++ development at Bloomberg. The BDE team is also responsible for spearheading Bloomberg's contributions to the C++ standard.
The libraries provided by the BDE team define the most fundamental C++ primitives used throughout our engineering organization. We apply rigorous design and testing principles and techniques to ensure that the infrastructure we provide lives up to its reputation as a dependable bedrock for other engineers to build upon. In addition, we simultaneously keep up-to-date with modern C++ standards, and strive to provide the best possible client-developer experience.
This team has attracted standards committee members and former working group chairs, and several members of the team actively contribute to the standard. We are proud to be able to state that we are the primary drivers behind C++26 contracts.
