I would like to list some of the best quality projects in the opensource C++ world. I know the question is very broad, but it can serve as a good resource for learning from top quality examples.

+6  A: 

Boost is (are) supposed to be very good.

The boost library :)

I would suggest looking at Inkscape - not that it is necessarily of the best quality but fairly big and stable. Depends what you are after really.

I agree. I've already enjoyed its code.

KDE is one of the biggest open source C++ project out there. Being open source, code quality is dependent on the contributors, but the people writing the core libraries are very good technically, so you will find some extremely good code there.

Qt is a big chunk of C++, portable to many embedded and non embedded platforms, backed up by a company. You should find some excellent code in there as well.

I agree completely about Qt... but in spite I have never looked at kde's code I have had really bad experience with it. Can a good code produce such an unusable software?
