mpatrol - A library for controlling, tracing and profiling dynamic memory allocations.

A link library that attempts to diagnose run-time errors that are caused by the wrong use of dynamically allocated memory. Along with providing a comprehensive and configurable log of all dynamic memory operations that occurred during the lifetime of a program, the mpatrol library performs extensive checking to detect any misuse of dynamically allocated memory. All of this functionality can be integrated into existing code through the inclusion of a single header file at compile-time. All logging and tracing output from the mpatrol library is sent to a separate log file in order to keep its diagnostics separate from any that the program being tested might generate. A wide variety of library settings can also be chan!ged at run-time via an environment variable, thus removing the need to recompile or relink in order to change the library's behaviour.

PARODY - C++ DATABASE LIBRARY

Al Stevens has written a book on the subject called `Database programming in C++' or something. An article on the subject was printed in Doctor Dobbs Journal some time ago.

The nice thing is that Stevens also wrote a C++ library adding persistence to C++, and the source is available. The library is called PARODY and compiles under most DOS-based C++ compilers. A slight rewrite of the GUI- routines has to be done to make it compile under GNU C.

Perry Rapp says "The zipped sources in the ftp version include a license statement permitting source redistribution in the exact format of the zip file (ie, unmodified and as original zip file). This is a more liberal policy than the license of the software with the book, which allows no source redistribution at all."

MTL: The Matrix Template Library - A library of generic components for basic linear algebra

The Matrix Template Library is a C++ class library for basic linear algebra. The MTL is designed for high-performance while at the same time taking advantage of the generic programming paradigm (ala the STL) to allow much greater flexibility and breadth of functionality. Many new and advanced programming techniques were used in the construction of this library.

The MTL is a low level library in the sense that the user must be conscious of the matrix type being used, and that all computationally expensive operations are explicit. The MTL is not a C++ Matlab. Nevertheless, the interface is designed to be simple and easy to use.

The matrix types provided include compressed sparse row/column, banded, packed, diagonal (and tridiagonal), envelope, array of pointers, and of course dense matrices. All matrix types share a common and easy to use interface.

The algorithms consist of the traditional basic linear algebra routines (from the BLAS level-1 to 3) which includes matrix and vector arithmetic as well as operations such as backward substitution and norm calculations.

PDBlib - Library for modeling a macromolecular structure

PDBlib is a class library written in C++ for modeling a macromolecular structure at the level of detail (excluding symmetry information) found in a Protein Data Back (PDB) file. A class is supplied to read a PDB file into a PDBlib representation. This class is independent of the actual representation and other forms of input, for example from a relational database like SESAM, are possible.

The library is made extensible by a close coupling between intrinsic and external classes. By writing only to the external classes you will remain compliant with future versions of the library.

You don't get source code. This is a temporary situation while we attempt to centralize bug fixes and additions to the library. If you find this situation unworkable source code is available by signing a copyright agreement which is available with the distribution.

macstl - Modern generic programming for SIMD and the Mac

The C++ header library designed to bring the Macintosh into the world of modern generic programming.

Generic programming is the art -- some say, the black art -- of making software components super-reusable and yet ultra-efficient. Our tool is the C++ template, and our result is code nearly as fast as hand-coded machine language.

macstl was inspired by the premier generic library, the Standard Template Library (now part of the C++ Standard Library), but with a distinct Macintosh flavor. Many components let you use low-level Mac OS X functionality like SIMD acceleration and memory copy-on-write easily and intuitively.

Although macstl started on the Mac, it now has a cross-platform look. Over 14,000 source lines of code compile cleanly on different C++ compilers. The SIMD classes work seamlessly on PowerPC’s running Mac OS X and Pentium’s running Windows XP.

macstl provides these sets of classes:

The library is open-source and free when derived code is reciprocated; for others, licensing is $99 (Personal) or $499 (Corporate).

PNGwriter - A C++ class allowing easy plotting to (and reading from) PNG images

This class, which requires libpng, allows you to plot to a 16-bit PNG file, saving it directly to disk. Plotting is as easy as specifying the red, green, blue values and the x, y coordinates of the pixel.

It includes functions for plotting simple geometric shapes (circle, rect, line), reading the colour of a pixel, reading in a whole PNG file (great for image analysis), plotting and reading in HSV colourspace and many others that might come in handy.

This class has proven tremendously useful for my own scientific simulation needs, and I would like others to benefit from its use as well.

It is available in both english and spanish, and is complemented by a PDF manual and a website with examples, a forum, and so on.

I have only tested it on Mac OS X and Debian Linux, but I don't see why it shouldn't compile on anything that has libpng.

Matrix11 - C++ matrix template class library (source)

This matrix template class can be used to perform common matrix operations in your C++ program like any other built-in data types. Though I have written this class in compliance with ANSI/ISO C++ standard, you may encounter some compilation problem, particularly with older version of compilers, because all standard features of namespace, exception and template may not be fully supported in your compiler. In that case you may just want to disable any or all the above features by defining the appropriate macros. I have included full source code as inline functions in the header file so you can modify it if necessary.

The implementation is not optimized for performance and memory usage. So it is not suitable for large and sparse matrices. But for small and medium size matrices these should not be a problem, keeping in mind the present generation of powerful computers.

Special requirements: An up-to-date C++ compiler.

Changes: Some conditional compilation code has been added for different compilers.

Objtran and Objdce

Objtran is a set of C++ class libraries that provide a higher-level abstraction for programmers developing applications using OSF's DCE and Transarc's Encina. Objtran actually consists of two separate libraries -- Objdce and Objtran.

Objdce makes it easier to write DCE applications by abstracting some of the more complex aspects of DCE. A class is included that can manage an RPC server, interacting with the DCE Name Service and Security Service as desired. Another class manages a client's binding to a server and encapsulates Name Service lookups. Other classes allow the programmer to use threads and various forms of mutual-exclusion locks, report errors consistently, utilize Access Control Lists, handle timestamps from the DCE Time Service, and perform UUID manipulation.

Objtran is built on top of Objdce, and adds support for the Encina distributed transaction service. It is intended to be used with C++ programs instead of the "Transactional C" macro package. It fully encapsulates the Encina TRAN and TRPC facilities with a few easy-to-use classes. It also provides an efficient recovery service for proper control of distributed transactions, and has support for the TM/XA service, allowing interoperability with XA-compliant databases. Support for the Encina Monitor is being implemented so programs may, with very few code changes, use either the smaller and more efficient bare Objtran environment or the more sophisticated Monitor.
