QScimpl - Qt-based software for building GUI's for scientific applications

QScimpl -- Qt-based Scientific Modeling and Plotting Library

Based on the cross-platform C++ GUI toolkit developed by Trolltech AS, QScimpl (pronounced "Q-simple") is a scientific graphics package that provides additional functionality for the rapid development of GUI's for scientific codes that require interactive visualization of particle or field data.

Like Qt, QScimpl is readily extensible by developers.

QScimpl supports 3-D rendering with OpenGL or Mesa, as well as threaded operation; however, neither of these features are required.

QScimpl is distributed with many example executables. One of these, called "SciMovie", can animate a sequence of images in a variety of different formats.

ModAssert - A library of ASSERT-like macros that can use rich booleans

In C and C++ the traditional assert function is used to tell the user that something unexpected happened, that might cause the program to fail. Macros were written to extend this mechanism, like ASSERT_EQUAL(a,b) to give a short explanation "lefthand is <9>, righthand is <10>". However, such a macros functionality can't be reused in any way if we want to have a similar VERIFY_EQUAL (which still evaluates its arguments in non-debug mode), or an ASSERT_EQUAL_MSG (to add a message).

The Modular Assert macros use Rich Booleans, to have a modular assertion framework where any type of ASSERT can be combined with any Rich Boolean or a simple boolean expression. This package has 16 different types of assertion macros (ASSERT, VERIFY, ASSERT_P, ...), which can be combined with any rich boolean to provide extra information (or a simple boolean expression). So one could write ASSERT(rbEQUAL(a,b)), VERIFY(rbLESS(foo(), 10)), etc. Furthermore, the macros allow an arbitray number of expressions to be evaluated and shown when an assertion fails. A level can be assigned to each assertion (Info, Debug, Error or Fatal). Assertions can be ignored per case, level or file.

They are released under the Boost License, which allows free use in any code. It was tested with Visual C++ and Gnu C++, but contains no platform or compiler specific code (except for the demo code), so it should be portable.

CXT - C source code analysis

CXT (C Exploration Tools) consists of CFT (C Function Tree Generator) and CST (C Structure Tree Generator). They analyse C source code of applications, no matter how big or complex, and are useful to explore unknown software and to support software reuse and maintenance. By pre- processing, scanning and analyzing the source code, these programs build an internal representation of the function call hierarchy (CFT) and of the data structure (CST) relations. Several features and options allow the user to customize the generated hierarchy tree chart output and to get a large set of useful information about the source code. The results can be stored in a database and recalled later. The recall utility can be integrated into editors like BRIEF or MicroEMACS (DOS, Windows) and provides a hypertext-like feeling for function locating. The output calltree can be generated as HTML- and as RTF-file (Windows Help).

CXT is part of the SXT Software Exploration Tools which provide similar source code analysis features for C (CXT), DBASE (DXT), FORTRAN (FXT), JAVA (JXT) and LISP (LXT).

Rich Booleans - A library to make powerful debugging libraries like ASSERT macros

The Rich Booleans framework is a set of macros that hold extra information if the condition fails, so a developer understands what goes wrong. They allow modularization of assertions and other constructs that check conditions, so on the one hand we can have different types of assertion macros (ASSERT, VERIFY, ASSERT_MSG, ...), and on the other hand macros that replace booleans in the assertion macros to provide extra information. So one could write ASSERT(rbEQUAL(a,b)), VERIFY(rbLESS(foo(), 10)), etc. These Rich Booleans can even be reused in other situations, like a TASSERT macro in a unit testing framework, or in contracts. The macros just have to know how to handle a rich boolean.

A number of interesting rich booleans are in this library, like rbEQUAL_STRING that shows where two strings are different (taking care of mismatches and insertions in an intelligent way), and similar ones for ranges of iterators and STL containers. They can be combined to make powerful checks, like checking whether the integer values in one vector are smaller than those in another vector, comparing two vectors of vectors, or combining rich booleans with logical operations.

They are released under the Boost License, which allows free use in any code. It was tested with Visual C++ and Gnu C++, but contains no platform or compiler specific code, so it should be portable.

SNIP: A Programming Power-tool - SNIP takes in an IDL and uses it to create code according to code patterns

SNIP is a programming power-tool for generating code from rules, or "code patterns" (AKA idioms).

Sr. software engineers have often noticed patterns in their coding practices. SNIP allows those patterns to be captured and expressed in an executable template.

An IDL-like input form is used to define objects. That IDL is then applied to the template to create code that a user would normally have typed in by hand.

For more information, and an example, see the site that describes SNIP more fully at http://www.ultranet.com/~advsw

DocClass - Generates class documentation from source files

Docclass is a simple C++ program which reads in C++ header files, and outputs documentation describing the class hierarchy, methods, inherited methods etc.

Docclass has a rather dumb parser, but it should cope with reasonably sane C++ class declarations. It understands comments, and tries to group the comments with the appropriate class or method.

Docclass does not require templates, or nested classes, as many people had C++ compilers which didn't support them. With any luck, it should understand them a little in the code it analyses, though.

Docclass is Copyright (c) Trumphurst Ltd. I have made it available on the Internet for personal use only. Please do not use it in a commercial situation (except for testing to see if it is suitable) without first obtaining permission (mail address below).

    VCF - Visual Component Framework

    A C++ framework that was created to provide a simple to use cross platform GUI framework, with many of the advanced design features of Java and Java's Swing, and Borland's Visual Component Library. In addition, the VCF provides advanced RTTI/Introspection features common in languages like Object Pascal, Objective C, Smalltalk, and Java, but not typically found in C++. The framework is divided into three main sections: FoundationKit, ApplicationKit, and GraphicsKit, in addition there are now two additional kits, the Network kit and the Remote Object Kit.

    The FoundationKit provides all of the base classes for the rest of the Framework, as well as support for RTTI/Introspection, events, event listeners, properties, and basic streaming capabilities. The VCF makes use of C++'s Standard Template Library for it's collection classes, and has a number of template based classes to support the Frameworks RTTI/Introspection design. The VCF also makes use of C++ exception handling, multiple inheritance, and C++ namespaces, so compiler's that don't support these features may have problems getting the FoundationKit (and any of the other kits) to compile. The GraphicsKit provides a core set of easy to use 2D graphics classes, modeled heavily after the design of Java's Graphics2D architecture. This include support for 32bit color images, alpha channels, anti-aliased graphics primitives, basic matrix transforms, filters, image loaders, kernels, and easy to extend path classes. Image manipulation is allowed at the bit level for those who like to bit-twiddle, but higher level functions are/will be provided.

    The ApplicationKit provides the classes used in the GUI portion of the Framework. This includes basics like windows, components, standard widgets (combo boxes, listboxes, trees, etc ), common dialogs, a basic layout manager, drag-and-drop, and standard windowing events. A simplified use of Model-View-Control design has been applied (sometimes referred to as UI delegate, where the Controller and View are combined ), similar to the way Java's Swing was designed. In addition it will also provide core services to extend the component framework with custom 3rd party libraries (DLL's or SO's) housing components that can be plugged into a the VCFBuilder tool, similar to Java Beans, or Borland's C++ Builder packages. The VCFBuilder is a simplified version of the C++ Builder IDE, something that can allow developer's to design their GUI's in real time, with out having to waste time writing code, and extend their set of components through 3rd party libraries.

    XSD - XML Schema to C++ Data Binding Generator

    Given an XML instance description (XML Schema), XSD generates C++ classes that represent the given vocabulary as well as parsing and serialization code. Compared to APIs such as DOM and SAX, the generated code allows you to access the information in XML instance documents using your domain vocabulary instead of generic elements, attributes, and text. Static typing helps catch errors at compile-time rather than at run-time. XSD supports two C++ mappings: in-memory C++/Tree and event-driven C++/Parser.

    The C++/Tree mapping provides C++ classes that represent data types defined in XML Schema, a set of parsing functions that convert XML instance documents to a tree-like in-memory data structure, and a set of serialization functions that convert the in-memory representation back to XML.

    The C++/Parser mapping provides parser templates for data types defined in XML Schema. Using these parser templates you can build your own in-memory representations or perform immediate processing of XML instance documents.

    Visual Programming Armoury - Visual Programming Armoury for C++ and Java

    Visual Programming Armoury is an IDE for C++ and Java. It implements a concept of multidimensional desktop. The ergonomics of VPA helps you maintain large projects. There are 3 frameworks: C++, Persistence Smith and Java. All of them are compiler-independent structured processors of source code. C++ framework includes a designer of event-driven composite GUI and a resource editor. Persistence Smith framework is built upon the object-relational layer which allows you to interact with business objects instead of going directly to RDBMS. An extended semantics of C++ provides full-featured capability to program a back-end's logic: queries and updates are issued against the object model instead of the storage one. Diagrams of persistent class helps you design applied object model. Thus a system that uses relational database is engineered in terms of object-oriented methodology. All of your code is completely portable between variety of database products. The set of class libraries formalize GUI up to high-level primitives which query, retrieve, navigate, edit data, aid input, do printing job. Java framework supports class diagrams and reverse engineering of source code.

    DCE++ - A C++ API for Programming Distributed Systems

    DCE++ is a set of ANSI C++ classes that enable the rapid prototyping of distributed programs. The goal of DCE++ is to provide a platform independent C++ API to the significant components used in distributed computing. Namely: RPC, threads, Security and Naming across the widely used distributed computing platforms such as DCE, ONC and WNT.

    It is expected that by encapsulating platform dependencies inherent in setting up rpcs, security etc. in DCE++ base classes, program development time can be drastically reduced. Moreover, a foundation can be provided for developing *portable* distributed program development tools.

    The second *evaluation* version of DCE++, version 0.4, has been released on Dec 2'93. The release includes C++ bindings for remote procedure calls over DCE and ONC. A C++ threads api for programming DCE threads. A C++ threads api for programming DCE distributed Time Service. The release is available free of charge upon signing a very liberal license agreement.

    The license agreement is obtainable by anonymous ftp from hal.com. It is in the directory dce++. The same directory also contains the release notes for the 0.4 version and plans for 0.5 features. To obtain the code, please send the signed license agreement to:
