CASA core modules

The casacore package contains the core libraries of the old AIPS++/CASA (Common Astronomy Software Applications) package. This split was made to get a better separation of core libraries and applications.

This package contains the Core modules: Multi-dimensional arrays, Quantities (values with physical units), OS and IO interface classes, Containers (from pre-STL era), Miscellaneous modules for exceptions, tasking interface, command line input, logging, STL wrappers, and basic math classes and functors.

Most of the code has been developed before STL came into existence, so several classes in modules Containers and Utilities are superseded by their STL counterparts. However, they are still used in some casacore code. Furthermore, some classes offer some extra functionality compared to STL.
