ObjectBuilder - GUI library

ObjectBuilder includes the Object Interface (OI) class library which is a C++ object-oriented implementation of both Motif and Openlook interfaces. Note that interested parties can read more about the OI library in the 1300 page "OI Programmer's Guide" by Gary Aitken and Amber Bensen published by Prentice-Hall.

ObjectBuilder is a GUI that offers developers a complete C++ implementation of Motif. ObjectBuilder allows developers to rapidly design, test, modify and implement sophisticated object-oriented graphical user interfaces by using ObjectBuilder to manipulate C++ objects found in its Object Interface (OI) C++ class library.

ObjectBuilder features a drag-and-drop user interface that allows developers to immediately visualize the results of their user interface design.

ObjectBuilder is owned and supported by Openware Technologies, Inc.. Formerly owned by ParcPlace Systems, Openware recently acquired ObjectBuilder.

Open Interface Version 3.0

This is a C-based UI library, but type-safe for C++ compatibility. The software also comes with a WYSIWYG GUI builder.

They include tons of extra widgets like business graphics (bar, pie, and line charts), images (all standard formats), and hypertext help.

Other software in Open Interface includes international character support, multi-font support, full printer support, memory management, file I/O support as well as Windows DDE support (the latter is, of course, non- portable).

They also have a product called Nexpertobject, which is an expert systems tool intended for GUI development.

rxstring - Regular expression library.

The rxstring library is an extension of the C++ stdlib string class. The rxstring class is a powerful alternative to traditional regular expression libraries. Because the syntax used by traditional regular expression packages is difficult to learn, rxstring uses a alternative notational system that is much easier to learn to read and write. Because indirection is a fundamental programming technique, rxstring regular expressions can be nested within each other using labels. Also the regular expressions can be self referential, this makes it possible to write very powerful regular expressions that can validate input just as a recursive descent parser does, but without the hassle of hand coding or resorting to a tool like yacc or bison. rxstring has much more than the usual search and match functions, There are a large number of functions that aid in validating, parsing, and modifying text. In spite of the number of functions, there is an underlying system that makes it easy to recall the entire library off the top of your head without much effort.

Time Series API - Professional time series modelling and simulation library for C++

Time Series API is a professional C++ class library for simulating (backtesting) and deploying financial trading strategies as well as general purpose time series modelling. The library is a stand-alone time series engine that can be extended via a component object model. Models are defined using 'formula syntax and semantics' made possible by a set of lightweight interface classes that supersede the component framework. The library supports the modelling of even the most complex ideas, is easily extended, and supports deployment in any timeframe (variable or fixed, with intervals as short as one millisecond). The library also benefits from a set of highly optimized database classes for reading and writing millions of records in seconds. As a general purpose tool for modelling time series, Time Series API has applications in many domains, such as:
  • Trading and investment strategy simulation and deployment:
    • Individual market and inter-market models
    • Iterative evaluations on baskets
    • Evaluation on aggregates (e.g. custom indices)
    • Fundamental company data models
  • Economic modelling
  • Time series normalization and processing:
  • Normalizing neural training data
  • Data transformations
  • Timeframe conversions
  • Data monitoring (e.g. financial, scientific):
    • Notification
    • Pattern recognition
    • Filtering applications, (e.g. noise reduction)
  • Computational modelling

Comment from : Jean-Daniel NICOLET on 2011-12-15

Tools.h++ was once one of the best general purpose C++ library available. Its container classes were well-designed, offering template-based as well as non-template based classes. Its string and container classes have nowadays been superceded by the standard library, which offers essentially the same (and even better) features essentially for free. Two things remain interesting with Tools.h++: its persistence mechanisms, coupled with portable streams allowing to transport objects accross platforms, and its associated twin library, DbTools.h++, that was ahead of its time for allowing portable database access with a C++ way of defining SQL-like queries, based on template meta-programming tricks that were totally non popular at that time.

Undoable C++ Object Library - multi-level undo and transaction rollback

The Undoable C++ Object Library by Notation Software, Inc. supports multiple level undo and transaction rollback.

This C++ library implements an object-oriented approach for reversing transactions at the C++ object level. A transaction consists of a series of three types of operations on objects: creation, modification, and deletion. The reversal (undo) of the transaction is implemented by effectively deleting the originally created objects, restoring the state of the modified objects, and effectively re-creating the deleted objects. References between objects are properly restored. This approach can significantly reduce the cost of implementing multiple level undo in an application, compared to a ! procedural "reverse transaction" approach. Object level undo also supports transaction rollback in other scenarios such as caught C++ exceptions.

The $495 product includes a 100-page tutorial and over 300 pages of documentation in helpfile and printed format. A free demonstration version of the library can be downloaded from the Web site listed below.

Vettrasoft Z Directory - General-purpose library of c++ objects

The Z Directory (as of 2010) currently deals with the following subject matter:
  • object - database storage. You can store and retrieve objects, so their state can extend beyond the lifetime of a program's run. This is not the same as an o-o database. The Z Directory provides a simple mechanism for writing objects to a database, but it does not supply the database.
  • data representation. "Data bags" are a way to store data in text stings. The data may be put into lists or a matrix and can recurse. The format is defined by a meta-data schema. This may sound suspiciously like XML. Once again, the data bag concept pre-dated XML, having existed in the early- to mid-1990's. Whereas XML focuses on HTML and web applications, data bags are to be used by programs written in C++.
  • message transport. The problem of moving a block of bytes from one place to another is a major topic in software engineering usually assigned to the category of networks. the Z Directory has code to do it with the following defining characteristics: (1) an address class set is provided to address the topic of defining a location. There are many types of addresses: internet, web, computer memory, e-mail, postal, etc. (2) the interface for moving a block of data over a circuit (a path between an originating and destination address) has no reference to the implementation. Typically the mechanism is sockets, but with the Z Directory, this can also be via shared memory (if within the same host computer), TLI (if within a system V unix environment), or other transport system.
  • containers. The Z Directory provides template-based containers to store your data: linked lists, arrays, stacks, and [coming soon] trees. You will probably immediately think STL. the Z Directory's container interface is a bit different, and you might find, simpler. The same member function names are used irregardless of the implementation. Peering into your data in a debugger is much easier than with STL. There are other differences.
  • string and text processing. One common complaint opponents of C++ use is the lack of tools for managing strings. The Z Directory attacks and destroys this argument. String operations include regular expression searches; extracting words, sentences, and quoted text sub-strings; trimming lines; string to type conversion; monetary formatting; concatenation; white-space processing; and much more.
  • encryption. There are a number of encryption and decryption algorithms available for encrypting your data, including Chambers-Rantgen, DES, and Blowfish.
  • postal addresses. Strings containing addresses can be easily parsed. Currently only American addresses are fully handled. We expect to grow this to encompass all addressing formats used world-wide.
  • mathematics. Several math functions are provided, including factoring, modulus, GLB and LUB, summation of a series, random number generation, linear regresion, mean averages, standard deviations, angle math and conversion (degree - radian), etc.
  • time and date. If you ever need to get the current time/date, and then add or subtract a span of time to/from it, the Z Directory provides unparalled ease for that. You can add say 1 week 3 days and 15 hours to any given date and get the result with only a couple lines of code.
  • threads and semaphores. In a Microsoft environment, you would need to use functions such as CreateMutex(), WaitForSingleObject(), and ReleaseMutex(). In some unix environments, the corresponding calls would be pthread_mutex_init(), pthread_mutex_lock(), and pthread_mutex_unlock(). Or, you can use the Z Directory and use a single function call, instead of learning the specifics for each operating system to intend to port to.
  • clients and servers. There are a set of classes dealing providing client-server architecture. A dispatch mechanism forwards a message to your message processing code when it arrives to a server.
  • error processing, logging, tracing and debugging. An elaborate but general-purpose group of classes help you manage what to do in case of an error, above and beyond the simple mechanics embedded in c++. You can create event logs and control when a message is to be generated. You can control when a message is created, and to where it is to go.
  • Files and directories. In Microsoft, directories are called folders. Once again, by using the Z Directory you need not concern yourself with the specifics of any particular operating system. How to read the contents or traverse them is handled by a simple set of classes and routines in the Z Directory. Creating, removing, renaming, opening and closing a file or directory are handled in a portable fashion. You can do things like add text to a file, get a line of text or a specific number of characters.
  • more, including: e-mail management; exam questions and answers; money operations; packetization; HTML operations; and classes for worldy items such as people, businesses, and telephones.

One fact: Z Directory is devoid of graphics utilities. Writing tools for GUI programming is a specialized, big, never-ending work sink. We have decided to focus on more 'framework' issues. Also, there are plenty of libraries out there dealing with GUIs and graphics.

Visibility for C++ - Create Windows GUI's without using any UI code

Visibility for C++ is a revolutionary new product for creating user interfaces. It enables object systems written in C++ to be visualized and interacted with via a state of the art GUI on the Windows platform and it accomplishes this without requiring any UI code to be written, generated or otherwise created. User Intefaces that would normally take weeks or even months to create, can be created in no time at all.

Visibility for C++ is the first in a series of products that utilize a new technology called Outerfacing. This new technology embodies a powerful new paradigm for creating User Interfaces for object systems called Object Visualization. This paradigm replaces the Model-View-Controller (MVC) paradigm on which almost all current UI technology is based. By utilizing the inherent structure found in an object system, it eliminates the need for the View and Controller portions of the MVC paradigm and all its attendant code requirements. In their place Object Visualization gives the objects in the object system the inherent ability to be visualized and interacted with directly.

Instead of having to write large amounts of UI code to implement the view and controller as is required with the MVC, Object Visualization places an outer face of UI elements over the object system structure and utilizes the internal state of the objects to control their appearance and behavior. This enables the entire UI for an object system to be created interactively while the program is executing without having to write any code.

Since creating the UI often accounts for over half of the entire programming effort, we firmly believe that this new paradigm is going to revolutionize the way that User Interfaces are developed.

Warne's Garbage Collector (WGC)

WGC is a full-featured high-performance C++ memory manager that includes:
  • an incredibly fast explicit memory manager (drop-in new/delete)
  • a parallel incremental generational non-copying collector
  • a transparent just-in-time heap-checker
WGC's fast explicit memory manager provides a drop-in accelerated new/delete. Using a multi-tiered parallel algorithm with the first tier inline, WGC can allocate most objects inline in less than 10 instructions! To enhance space efficiency WGC uses address-aligned storage algorithms with no per-object overhead (no linked lists!). To reduce fragmentation, WGC maintains a single process free store for all threads, modules, and DLLs.

WGC's collector implements both conservative and accurate scanning and fully supports C++ code. Classes, arrays, scalars, interior pointers, unions, cross-heap pointers, anonymous unions (really!), large objects, library code you have no control over, etc. are all supported. Plus, you can incrementally deploy automatic memory management in existing or new applications, making some classes or objects collected and some not.

WGC's just-in-time heap-checker stays active during the entire development cycle, transparently checking every new and delete. If a check fails, WGC will spawn your debugger and take you live to the line in question. To complement the live access to the line that failed a delete check, WGC provides detailed pointer/object info (allocating thread/line/file/pass count, object allocation time in microseconds, etc.) Debugging extensions allow interactive display/logging of object/pointer status and process stats.

WGC is currently available for all major C++ compilers under Windows NT, Windows 95, and OS/2. WGC is priced at $895 per developer for all platforms, with no royalties. Team & Volume discounts apply. Source available. Ports to other platforms in progress.

Hans Boehm tells me that this is no longer available.

Zinc V4.1

This is a full C++ class library that comes with the Zinc Designer (a WYSIWYG GUI builder). Their classes include some graphic capabilities, a rather nice error system, and a portable, if rudimentary, help system. Also included is the source for the library (and for the Designer!).

In addition to the usual GUI stuff, Zinc also provides international character support (an extended version, for extra bux, is in the works), some container classes, and filesystem portability. They also allow you to incorporate platform-specific stuff (e.g., system messages) into their API; but, of course, you're on your own when it comes to porting any additions. The main new feature for 4.1 is object persistence. , (800) 638 8665, (801) 785-8900, (801) 785-8996 (fax), (801) 785-8997 (bbs)
