Available C++ Libraries FAQ

Commercial libraries (A-N)

Generic++

This C++ library is completely new. It is aimed at commercial users and implements a generous selection of application-independent basic classes. Its use frees the user from error-prone and time-consuming specific tasks (e.g. main memory management). All libraries previously available on the market are targeted more or less specifically on a particular system environment. However, it is becoming more and more urgent to make as many application modules as possible independent of a specific target platform. What gives Generic++ its competitive edge is the portability of its components and the way it takes account of other software engineering aspects.

Advantages:

• Implementation of the most important application- independent basic classes
• Availability on all standard operating systems and platforms
• Accommodation of the latest C++ extensions such as templates and exception handling
• Co-existence with other libraries
• High degree of runtime efficiency and low resource consumption
• Integrated debugging support
• Template-based, typesafe container classes with interchangeable implementation data structures
• Smart cursors
• Suitability for use in the development of client/server applications in heterogeneous networks.
• Support for multi-threaded applications
• Persistent objects
• Regular expressions
• System independent handling of file and path names
