For an expert programer who has some spare time:

• I wish to commission a reimplementation of zlib in C++11.
  
• Not focused on performance.   Focus on safe, correct, and easy to ready code.  Should still be fast on a modern compiler.
  
• This implementation should take advantage of the new C++11 features.
  
• Include a C interface that is compatible with zlib.

Edit:

We are not looking for a good wrapper, but a ground up reimplementation, using modern code.

This code only needs to compile with:  GCC 4.8, LLVM/clang 3.4, and MS Visual C++ 2013

This code need to be supported: Linux, MacOS X Mavericks, and Windows 7 SP1 (and later).



CMake build system +  Unit and Functional Tests.


We advice to not to start work until we have confirmed a plan with you.

I am a experienced C++ programer, so I will, of course be following and checking the work.

I am a little confused - zlib is written in C not C++ and creating a C interface to a C++ implementation makes little sense (do you have any other examples of such things?).

I am very familiar with zlib (I use it in CIYAM) and am also very familiar with reworking C code for C++ (but that always tends to mean a C++ wrapper over the C code).

Why would you want a C library re-written in C++?

I don't want the code to 're-written' but rather re-designed for modern C++ code.  Not just a wrapper on the existing zlib code.
