Site with massive repository of C++ code?

[sysop1911]

Does anyone know of a site that has a huge repository of C++ code that you can use for free? I'm talking about a site that would have literally thousands of C++ algorithms, code snippets, etc. (it could also have other programming languages: PHP, Java, etc). I'm not looking for a bunch of different sites that have some code and if you add them all together, it makes a huge repository, I'm looking for *one* site that would have this all. Thanks.

I'm somewhat familiar with boost, but I was looking for something even bigger. Though, maybe I have just not looked at boost enough. I hear the boost libraries have a bad rep, is that true?

The only thing that's bad about them is trying to read the code. Using the libraries is fairly easy if you follow the docs, and they are highly useful.

Some people get scared when they see too many templates. There's no reason to, though.

Does this actually have code or just finished programs?

CodeGuru ?

;-) Not enough here. Not as complete as I'm looking for

http://code.google.com/

Looks like mostly Android stuff.

Why not just search for and use what you can find when you need it? I find that the best part about large library repositories as used for certain other languages is that it makes installing a library a breeze because there is usually some installation mechanism that goes with it; yet, that does not mean that you cannot install C++ libraries from separate repositories yourself.

Because I want a one-stop-shop for the code.

Boost is probably the best you're going to get in terms of a collection of generic libraries with wide applicability. In a specific subject area, there may be other collections which are useful (such as CGAL for computational geometry).
