The AIPS++ library provides the programmer with a rich and versatile toolkit. At present, the main pending developments in the Table System part of the library appear to be ensuring that features such as multi-user synchronization and locking are implemented.
There are two critical items with regard to the libraries: Firstly, it is vital that memory leaks be hunted down and eliminated. Otherwise mysterious system crashes are sure to occur. Secondly, because there appear to be misgivings that AIPS++ applications are slow compared to the competition, every effort should be made to ensure that the library classes are optimally designed for maximum speed.
The time may be nearing when the core functionality of the library should be frozen, with a switch of priority to writing applications.
