An atypical wave of massive height and energy. Rogue waves are completely unrelated to tidal waves, which are more properly called tsunamis, and may be only a few centimeters in height in the open sea. A rogue wave may reach as high as 100 feet in the open ocean, and is a statistically unusual event. A breaking rogue wave can capsize a large ship.

The eponymous software library maker creates tools.h++, which can have a similar effect on software projects.

You probably want the STL, instead.
