Available C++ Libraries FAQCommercial libraries (O-Z)ObjectBuilder - GUI libraryObjectBuilder 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.

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:

Comment from : Jean-Daniel NICOLET on 2011-12-15Tools.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 rollbackThe 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.

Visibility for C++ - Create Windows GUI's without using any UI codeVisibility 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:
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.
