Test implementation of the standard library of FTL.

libftl

Test implementation of the standard library of FTL.

Here are collected thoughts about the implementation of the standard library of FTL. I know that this code here is not idiomatic C++ code. C++ was just chosen as prototype language for FTL's standard library, and so this code is developed with FTL's anticipated available features in mind.

Naming conventions

Whether CamelCase or sneak_case is not yet decided.

Rules for variable and method names:

Prefix	Variable	Method
_ (single underscore)	private/read-only	private
__ (double underscore)	internal/builtin	internal/builtin

Note: All member variables and methods of classes are public and follow these rules. This is to mimic the behavior of FTL as well as possible.

Usage of the c++ standard library

Because FTL only has access to the libc, try to avoid using the c++ standard library and go with the libc.
