CrissCross 0.6.5

CrissCross is a small cross-platform C++ library for threading, console and file I/O, CPU identification (CPUID), and sockets (TCP and UDP).
The main goal is to provide the ability to write a program using identical calls on the major platforms (Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, and Mac OS X) without needing to rewrite code.
CoreCPUID is only currently supported on IA-32 (x86) processors. There is also theoretical support for IA-64 and x64 processors in 64-bit mode, but only 32-bit mode has been tested.
Enhancements:
- CrissCross::Data::Compare now can compare C-style strings.
- x64 target added for Visual Studio 2005 projects.
- New crisscross/crisscross.h added which basically includes every common CrissCross header.
- RedBlackTree now works with char* string keys.
- No longer needlessly recompiles on Mac OS X (build_number.h regeneration caused a recompile).
- QuickSort::Sort is now marked deprecated with _CC_DEPRECATE_SLOW as a warning to those who use it.
- CoreIOWriter had a few functions which had std::string passed by value rather than by reference.
- DStack::peek() function added.
- FastestSort and MemoryEfficientSort aliases added by request.
- BTree alias for RedBlackTree added.
- Cleaned data structure function names a bit (getData() is now simply get(), etc).
- Added compatibility with Tosser data structure library, allowing CrissCross to be used with the Onlink project.
- Added XCrashReports support for release builds.
- _CC_DEPRECATE_SLOW changed for Windows builds to indicate severity of the slowdown.
- Improved speed and size of CoreAssert and made it more CrissCross-like for its stderr output.
- Major time-critical Stopwatch functions are now inlined (Start/Stop functions).
- Corrected an error with ThreadSleep which caused it to sleep forever if a value less than zero was passed to it.
- crisscross/sort.h is now all that needs to be included for use of CombSort, QuickSort, and HeapSort.
- Disabled core/thread detection in CPUID, because of varying results (cant yet interpret what they mean.
- Added a few more cache descriptors to CPUID (Core 2 related ones).
