SOCKET++ - C++ iostream like library for sockets and pipes

Filename is socket++-XX.tar.gz (XX - version no).

ameasures@cix.compulink.co.uk (Alastair Measures) reports :-

An archie search (Imperial archie server) yielded the following:

Have excluded the RPM based files from this list. In the actual event I found the latest edition seemed to be 1.11 which didn't seem too keen to clean compile on this 'ere RedHat4.0 Linux.... Having installed an RPM I found the documentation a bit faulty ... so back to the C API

Mark M Mehl says: The SOCKET++ library runs on Solaris (SUN) and OSF/1 (DEC) systems nicely. It is not ported to IRIX (SGI) systems. It's nicely designed around the iostream class.

Ultimate++ - GUI toolkit

Ultimate++ is a radical and innovative GUI toolkit whose number one priority is programmer productivity. C++ is a great programming language but C++ programmers are sometimes hampered by the lack of effective libraries. U++ libraries enable genuine productivity gains with shorter development times and greatly reduced application source code size.

Ultimate++ is a C++ cross-platform rapid application development suite. It includes a set of libraries (GUI, SQL, etc..), and an integrated development environment.

Ultimate++ is a "free" toolkit created by Mirek Fídler and Tomáš Rylek with the collaboration of a committed community, which brings it's own integrated development environment (IDE), "TheIDE", with it and shows the following merits in particular:

Ultimate++ is available for Windows® and Linux®. An edition for FreeBSD®, a Unix® variant, has been started. A Windows CE® edition is planned. The developers announce the same regarding Mac OS®, Apple®'s operating system, even though they have not yet commented on the effects of Apple®'s shift from PowerPC® processors to Intel® processors. An edition for Solaris®, another Unix® variant, is being considered.

The Ultimate++ Windows® edition is shipped with a MinGW, "Minimalist GNU for Windows", option, a program package coming from the UNIX® realm and ported to be used with Windows® that includes the GCC (GNU Compiler Collection), thus comprising everything needed to build a program. Furthermore it cooperates absolutely trouble-free with the Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition®, available free of charge from Microsoft®.

At present (May 8, 2006) "602" is the current stable version of Ultimate++. "605-rc1" is the current development version. At that the first digit denotes the year and the last two digits denote the month of the release. "rc" means "release candidate". The number behind is the serial number.

UVS - C++ library dealing with univariate statistics

The scope of the library is univariate (single variable) statistics. In particular, the following statistical operations are supported:

Although UVS certainly does not provide a completely comprehensive treatment of these topics, facilities are provided to extend the library by coding additional classes or functions yourself.

Two types of random variable are supported: discrete (integer type) for statistics derived from counting, and continuous (floating point type) for all others.

The intended user is an application developer.

Although the code has been extensively tested, a realistic appraisal of its readiness is "alpha".

UVS was written with Visual C++ 6.0. Since that is the only compiler the author owns, no other platforms or compilers are currently supported.

All UVS symbols are in the "uvs" namespace.

UVS functions do not throw exceptions. If an argument value which calls for an infinite result is detected the function returns std::numeric_limits<double>::max().

UVS uses the Cephes library. The required components from this library are included with the distribution of UVS.

UVS is free. Full source code is provided.

VTK - The Visualization Toolkit

The Visualization ToolKit (VTK) is an open source, freely available software system for 3D computer graphics, image processing, and visualization. VTK includes a textbook published by Prentice-Hall ( href="http://www.kitware.com/vtkhtml/vtkdata/HowToBuyBook.html"The Visualization Toolkit, An Object-Oriented Approach To 3D Graphics, 2nd edition" ISBN 0-13-954694-4 ), a C++ class library, and several interpreted interface layers including Tcl/Tk, Java, and Python. VTK has been implemented on nearly every Unix-based platform and PC's (Windows NT and Windows95).

The design and implementation of the library has been strongly influenced by object-oriented principles.

The graphics model in VTK is at a higher level of abstraction than rendering libraries like OpenGL or PEX. This means it is much easier to create useful graphics and visualization applications. In VTK applications can be written directly in C++, Tcl, Java, or Python. In fact, using the interpreted languages Tcl or Python with Tk, and even Java with its GUI class libraries, it is possible to build useful applications very quickly.

Finally, the software is a true visualization system, it doesn't just let you visualize geometry. VTK supports a wide variety of visualization algorithms including scalar, vector, tensor, texture, and volumetric methods; and advanced modeling techniques like implicit modelling, polygon reduction, mesh smoothing, cutting, contouring, and Delaunay triangulation. Moreover, we have directly integrated dozens of imaging algorithms into the system so you can mix 2D imaging / 3D graphics algorithms and data.

script - C++ interpreted language

This a set of C++ classes which create a new interpreted language which is freely inspired from "C" and HP RPL (that's calculators).

This scripting language is freely inspired by the C-language syntax and HP's RPL in the way of manipulating variables : - There are no variable declaration, but the first use of a new variable name must be a write (no read allowed on a undefined name). You can considere that the declaration is included in this first write. I find this way to do the declaration good to avoid use of uninitialised variable. - Control structures must have the prefix #. This language syntax isn't very beautiful but I found it cleared the code. - Functions exists through file separation : one file, one function. The behavior is the same as Matlab .M files. - A variable isn't type constant. This allows a variable name to change of type. Actually, 5 types can be used, but the structure of the program allows an easy add of new types : integer, strings, real, array and list.

The full source is provided and some examples of scripts.

Texas Persistant Store

Texas is a free persistent store that can be used with standard C++ compilers, and works efficiently with very little modification to most C++ programs. It runs on several varieties of UNIX and should be very easy to port to most modern operating systems, such as OS/2, Windows NT, Mach, Windows 4.0, etc. (If things we hear are correct, Linux will provide the necessary virtual memory features soon, too, and Texas will be ported about fifteen minutes later. :-)

Texas uses "pointer swizzling at page fault time", an address translation techique that converts pointers from an abstract format to actual virtual memory addresses when pages are first touched and brought into memory. (A similar technique, invented independently, is used in the market-leading persistent store/OODB, ObjectStore from Object Design Inc.) This allows Texas to be highly portable, avoiding any assumptions about where a page of data will be an a process' virtual memory address space; it can also support very large addresses spaces efficiently on stock 32-bit hardware. (It could also be used to efficiently provide shared address spaces across networked heterogenous machines with different hardware address sizes, e.g., across 32- and 64-bit machines.)

The Virtual X Class Library, or VXCL for short, is a non-commercial open source collection of powerful C++ classes that encapsulate the complexities of Windows and Linux/UNIX C and C++ development. All classes are designed to use the C++ language effectively and efficiently, with minimal overhead added to the application being developed. Code size and execution speed for applications built using VXCL are inline with programs built using standard C code. There are no bloated multi-megabyte DLL's or shared libraries that must be distributed with applications using VXCL, as the code is normally (but not required to be) statically linked with the application.

From April 1996 until March 2001, VXCL was known as VWCL, the Virtual Windows Class Library. In the beginning, VWCL was intended primarily for Windows development, but support for Linux/UNIX was added in 1999. Today, what was VWCL, is used daily for development of non-Windows applications as well as Windows programs. To better express the capabilities of the library, and to atract more development input from the UNIX community, we decided to rename the library to more appropriately describe the features it can provide. By dropping the 'Windows' in favor of X, we leave open the opportunity to develop the library on (and for) platform X, which can be anything. The X does not mean X Windows. It is simply a generic term (variable X) which can be whatever you want it to be.
