C++ Sockets Library - Unix / Windows Socket programming made easy

When making this library, there were a few things I wanted to achieve. I did not want to end up with C++ code that had to be used in the same way as the berkeley socket C API are being used ( connect/bind/accept - check result, write - check result, read - check result, etc, etc ). Another thing was the ability to manage multiple sockets in the same thread; the library should be singlethreaded - but not limited to one thread. So.. I never wanted to manage a fd_set for a select() call ever again, no more writing code for accepting a connection - this has already been done again and again in every single networking project ever made.

One decision made early on was to treat one socket as one object. And so was the Socket class born. The socket class, by itself, has all the functions needed for address translation (hostname to ip, ip to hostname etc). It owns the file descriptor / SOCKET handle. But it can't do anything. Code for actually doing something with the socket is implemented in other, Socket derived classes.

Arjuna - For writing fault-tolerant (distributed) applications

Arjuna provides a set of tools (C++ classes and libraries) for writing fault-tolerant distributed applications using persistent objects, atomic actions, and replication. Included in the system is a C++ stub generator (and associated RPC mechanism) which takes a C++ class definition for an object and generates client and server stub code. Using these stub classes occurs in a relatively transparent manner: the differences between a local and distributed application are typically only a single line.

The system has been ported to a wide range of architectures and C++ compilers, both by the authors and other users, and has been in use for several years.

A comprehensive manual is available with the distribution.

Common C++ - A GNU Portable Application Framework

Common C++ is a C++ framework offering portable support for threading, sockets, file access, deamons, persistance, and system services, initially started by David Sugar and Daniel Silverstone. Common C++ is a GNU package and is licensed to the terms of the GNU GPL with specific privileges similar to Guile. Common C++ offers support and portable classes for threading and sockets for both UNIX (Posix systems with "pthread" support) and the Windows "Win32" API. Common C++ uses extensive autoconf macro sets for automatic detection of various levels of "pthread compliance" in your target platform and attempts to adjust itself appropriately. Common C++ has been tested to date with GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, and DEC Tru64 Unix. HP/UX has also been tried and found not to be successfully supported at this time.

While Common C++ is not directly related to GNU portable threading (GNU Pth), it should work with the Pth "pthread emulation" library at present. Common C++ will become usable as a class framework for GNU Pth directly in future releases.

The primary goal of Common C++ is to promote a very low overhead abstract C++ interface to common system services. Consistent with this goal, and the desire for broad portability with wide compiler support, specific aspects and practices in C++ programming were selected when writing code in this package, and other practices were discarded that seemed to detract from this goal.

CB++ - CommonBase Database Access Library for C/C++

This library was written in 1989 as a basis for storing C++ objects in a relational database. The development of such a system was stopped in 1990 because of problems with the MS-DOS environment used in this time. My involvement in various user interface projects here in the institute and otherwhere made it sleep until last week.

Okay, here is it. It is only the database access layer of the projected object storage system but it has some useful features which are provided by commercial tools out there:

ADAPTIVE Communication Environment (ACE) - C++ IPC wrappers

This release contains contains the source code, documentation, and example test drivers for a number of C++ wrapper libraries and higher- level distributed application frameworks developed as part of the ADAPTIVE project at the University of Calfornia, Irvine.

The C++ wrappers encapsulate many of the user-level BSD and System V Release 4 IPC facilities such as sockets, TLI, select and poll, named pipes and STREAM pipes, the mmap family of memory-mapped file commands, System V IPC (i.e., shared memory, semaphores, message queues), and explicit dynamic linking (e.g., dlopen/dlsym/dlclose) using type-secure, object-oriented interfaces.

The higher-level distributed application frameworks integrate and enhance the lower-level C++ wrappers to support the configuration of concurrent network daemons composed of monolithic and/or stackable services

A relatively complete set of documentation and extensive examples are included in the release. A mailing list is available for discussing bug fixes, enhancements, and porting issues regarding ACE. Please send mail to ace-users-request@ics.uci.edu if you'd like to become part of the mailing list.

BRL10 - Binary Relations Library for C/C++

Binary relations are more directly based on semantic concepts rather than on recordlike structures as traditional (relational, hierarchies, networks, object-oriented) models are.

Binary Relations tend to be more functionally complete in their information processing capability, and more precise in their semantic modelling.

The Binary Relations Approach was implemented in Binary Relations Library for C/C++. BRL is not a full featured DBMS. It does not support all ideas of the Binary Relations Approach. BRL is however a small, fast and reliable engine.

BRL provides basic tools for using binary relations in C and C++ programs.

CDBFile - C++ library to handle dBASE III files

CDBFile is a C++ object-oriented package for programmers who need to manipulate dBASE III files in their programs. It enables you to perform many operations on an existing DBF file: reading/writing to it, accessing its values, sorting the records, adding/deleting records, etc. It comes with full text and postscript documentation, and commented source code. A demonstration program, TestDBF, shows the various possibilities of the CDBFile library, and its source file, testdbf.cpp, demonstrates how to implement CDBFile within a program. CDBFile was designed to be as portable as possible: you should be able to compile it under "as is" any DOS/Windows C++ compiler; porting it to Un*x/Linux should also require little effort.

Since CDBFile is distributed under the GNU Public License for libraries, I hope that programmers will like it and suggest or implement enhance- ments and additional features to that piece of software.

CalcPlus - Interpreter of procedural language

The CalcPlus library is the C++ class library which provides an ability to use your own programming language built into C++ project. Any algorithm or any constant needed by application can be carried out into the special file, when process comes to the key point, it calls function or procedure stored in the text file. Interpreter runs the function and process returns back to C++ code. Library contains the interpreter which understands simple nameless procedural language. Bi-directional communication between C++ and the code for interpreter available.

Version of the language that comes with the library allows to use functions, procedures, blocks, preprocessor, global and local variables and constants, if/for/while statements. Each variable can have value of type: nil, bool, long, float, string, date. Type definitions and arrays are allowed. Functions and procedures may be recursive. New functions written in C++ may be easily added to the language. Syntax of the language can be modified by changing YACC rules. Interpreter is fast enough and may be helpful for many tasks.

Platform independent, YACC required.

CMATH - Complex-number math library for Borland C/C++

CMATH is a comprehensive library for complex-number arithmetics and mathematics. In contrast to C++-written complex class libraries, this true Assembler implementation ensures superior computational efficiency, mathematical accuracy and safety. All functions exist in two alternative forms:
  1. a C++ form with overloaded function names, like sin, exp, operator /;
  2. a plain-C form with data-type specific function names, like cf_sin, cd_exp, ce_div, where the prefix determines the level of accuracy (complex float, double, or extended).

Changes: The necessary adjustments have been made for CMATH to work with the new version 4 of BCBuilder, while maintaining compatibility with the older BC++ versions. Slight improvements with respect to speed and accuracy have also been made for the forward and inverse trigonometric functions.

CIDLib - Portable, General Purpose C++ Frameworks

CIDLib is a general purpose, portable C++ development framework, which currently contains approximately 350 classes, oriented primarily towards the development of backend systems at this time.

The reference release of CIDLib is for NT 4.0 and Visual C++ V6.0. However, a preview of the Linux driver is now available for download, in source form, if you would like to evaluate it and provide some feedback.

A full class reference is available on line, as is the tutorial. The tutorial is also available in its original Word97 format if you want to get a more readable/printable version.

Here is a general list of the functionality provided by CIDLib in the 1.1.0 release.

Abstraction Kernel
CIDLib implements its own 'micro kernel' layer which abstracts its from the host platform and greatly enhances portability. Outside the kernel, no host or RTL headers are used. This allows all CIDLib and client code to use a high level of error reporting during compilations, without the need for non-ANSI C++ compliant compiler extensions required for much direct operating system or RTL access.
Build Utility
To support build infrastructure portability for CIDLib itself, the CIDBuild utility provides convenient build services for the source code release. It is written in plain C++ and is easily portable to other platforms and development environments. It supports project dependency, header dependency analysis, platform independent project settings, and message file compilation.
Advanced RTTI
Polymorphic streaming, dynamic object creation, fully integrated runtime type information system, type repository, and simple meta class support.
Collections
Bags, sorted bags, deques, queues, stacks, doubly linked lists, singly linked lists, hash maps, hash sets, and object arrays. They are fully templatized, typesafe, and optionally thread safe on a per-instance basis. Simpler arrays, stacks, queues, and deques are also provided for fundamental data types.
Core Data Types
Strings, memory buffers (heap, system, and shared system), areas, points, sizes, colors, ranges, money, numerics, time stamps, etc...
Encryption Frameworks
CIDLib has an encryption framework that you can extend to implement any encryption algorithms you require. It currently supports Blowfish and MD5, with others planned for future releases. You can easily plug in your own algorithms or other 3rd party algorithms, to take immediate advantage of the framework and have your algorithm's integrate seamlessly into the system.
Exceptions, Logging Support
Extensive support for error and message logging and exception management. Fully C++ enabled, multiple language message file support with custom message compiler which generates namespace based const message ids instead of #define'd values. Runtime error and system exception stack trace dump support.
File System Support
Directory iteration, general file system maintenance, find buffers, smart path strings, binary files, text files, etc...
Streams
Text and binary streams, stream lexer, etc... Streams are abstracted from the actual data source via implementation objects, so they can be extended to use many different data sources. CIDLib comes with file, string, memory buffer, and console based implementations. Stream format janitors support safe scope based format changes. Endian transparency is provided for binary data, to support heterogenous networks and data sharing in secondary storage. Pluggable text encoders support external encoding formats (see the next section.)
Text Transcoding Support
The new CIDEncode facility provides an extensible text transcoding framework, to get text data into CIDLib's internal Unicode format and back out again. Currently it supports ASCII, UTF-8, UTF-16, UCS-4, Latin1 through Latin6, and EBCDIC-US. More encodings will be added over time, and you can plug in your own to have them seemlessly itegrate into the system.
Internationalization Support
CIDLib supports a very C++ oriented message compiler that is fully Unicode oriented and allows you to load all text from external (and therefore translatable) data, in an easy and convenient way. CIDLib is purely Unicode oriented, only transcoding text to the local code page when to pass it to system APIs (where required.)
Locale Support
Locale support allows you to localize your applications and CIDLib itself uses this support to format numeric values, monetary values, times, dates, etc... CIDLib gives you full access to locale information in a way that is safe and convenient and consistent with the CIDLib style (and therefore portable to any platforms that CIDLib is ported to.)
Mathematical
4x4 homogenous matrices, 2D and 3D vectors, value maps, ranges, complex numbers, core mathmematical library interfaces.
Process Control
Threads, mutexes, semaphores, events, critical sections, threadsafe counters. Janitors for mutexes, semaphores, critical sections, and thread priorities.
TCP/IP
TCP/IP sockets support is provided, stream and datagram client and server side datagram and stream sockets, a socket listener class, and IP addresses and endpoints.
Fractals
An object oriented, extensible fractal generation engine, with full multiprocessor support. Pluggable fractal framework allows you to easily create your own fractal types and have them rendered.
Graphics File Formats
The CIDImage facility is a generalized framework for getting graphics file formats into memory as bitmaps, and getting them back out after manipulation, and getting information about them.
Ray Tracing
An object oriented, extensible ray tracer with scene description language, and full multiprocessor support. Framework based architecture allows you to create your own object and texture types and fully integrate them into the ray tracer.
Regular Expressions
A regular expression engine is provided for doing the usual regular expression searches on strings. It supports most of the generally supported short cuts and conveniences of grep type utilities.

APE - Portable C++ threading and sockets framework

APE is the "APE Portable Environment" and class libraries for writing portable threaded servers in C++, under UNIX (pthread) and Win32 API's. APE provides portable class abstraction for threads and sockets, and is used as a base framework for other projects. The goal of APE is to make writing threaded servers in C++ both practical and convenient, even for small and simple projects, and hence simplicity and low runtime overhead are design goals.

The 1.0.0 release of APE is available at ftp://ftp.voxilla.org/pub/ape with both source and pre-built binary packages. APE has been used not only in server applications, but also in conjunction with client class frameworks, such as QT/KDE, to offer threading and socket services. APE is licensed under the GPL with additional priviledges as annoted in the source under terms similar to Guile.

As of March 14th, 2000, the APE project was merged with the Common C++ project to form the newly introduced Common C++ portable application framework.
