Introduction
~~~~~~~~~~~
Here is the latest draft of a list of available C++ libraries I am
compiling. I intend to post this once a month or so (unless there are any
complaints).
It is submited to comp.lang.c++ and news.answers, and is available for
public ftp (along with all the other Usenet FAQ lists) at rtfm.mit.edu
(18.70.0.209), in file
pub/usenet-by-group/comp.lang.c++/C++-faq/libraries/part1 through part6).
It is also available on the Web, at
"http://www.trmphrst.demon.co.uk/cpplibs1.html".
Rtfm.mit.edu also has a mail server - send a mail message containing
"usenet-by-group/comp.answers/C++-faq/libraries/*" to
mail-server@rtfm.mit.edu. If you want to find out more about the mail
server, send a message to it containing "help".
Marshall Cline's C++ FAQ should also be available from rtfm - the files
are called _posting_#1_4, _posting_#2_4, _posting_#3_4 and _posting_#4_4,
and they are in directory pub/usenet-by-group/comp.lang.c++/.
I have not included a credits list, because it would be nearly as large as
the rest of the file! Many thanks to all those who contributed, and I hope
you won't be offended that I haven't mentioned you.
Please mail comments, criticisms, additions and amendments to me at
cpplibs@trmphrst.demon.co.uk. However, please DO NOT mail me with requests
for assistance in finding files mentioned in the list. I am unable to
provide such a service. Definite information such as "file xyz is no
longer at site xxx" IS welcome - even better if you can tell me an
alternative site where it can be found. If you are new to the Internet,
try to find out about tools such as archie, whois, www, gopher etc. I
recommend the newsgroups "news.announce.newusers" and "news.answers" for
starters.

ADAPTIVE Communication Environment (ACE) - C++ IPC wrappers
This release contains contains the source code, documentation, and example
test drivers for a number of C++ wrapper libraries and higher- level
distributed application frameworks developed as part of the ADAPTIVE
project at the University of Calfornia, Irvine.
The C++ wrappers encapsulate many of the user-level BSD and System V
Release 4 IPC facilities such as sockets, TLI, select and poll, named
pipes and STREAM pipes, the mmap family of memory-mapped file commands,
System V IPC (i.e., shared memory, semaphores, message queues), and
explicit dynamic linking (e.g., dlopen/dlsym/dlclose) using type-secure,
object-oriented interfaces.
The higher-level distributed application frameworks integrate and enhance
the lower-level C++ wrappers to support the configuration of concurrent
network daemons composed of monolithic and/or stackable services
A relatively complete set of documentation and extensive examples are
included in the release. A mailing list is available for discussing bug
fixes, enhancements, and porting issues regarding ACE. Please send mail to
ace-users-request@ics.uci.edu if you'd like to become part of the mailing
list.
I have been informed that the ftp site listed may be incorrect. Correct
information would be appreciated.

Aisearch - a package to make writing problem solving programs easier.
Offers the programmer a set of search algorithms that may be used to solve
all kind of different problems. The following search algorithms have been
implemented:
- depth-first tree and graph search
- breadth-first tree and graph search
- uniform-cost tree and graph search
- best-first search
- bidirectional depth-first tree and graph search
- bidirectional breadth-first tree and graph search
- AND/OR depth tree search
- AND/OR breadth tree search.
Although this package is meant as a tool for developing problem solving
software it is not meant exclusively for programmers that are familiar
with the concept of problem representation and search techniques. The
document accompanying this package first describes (though condensed) the
theory of problem solving in AI and next explains how the search class
library must be used. Furthermore, as the source code is richly commented
and as also some demo programs are included the package should also prove
useful to people that want to get acquainted with the subject.

Amulet - User Interface Development Environment
AMULET is a user interface development environment in C++. Code written
using Amulet will work with little or no changes on all platforms.
More than just another free "virtual toolkit," Amulet includes many
features specifically designed to make the creation of highly-interactive,
graphical, direct manipulation user interfaces significantly easier.
Based on a proven earlier system, called Garnet, that was in wide use in
the Lisp community, Amulet adds a number of important innovations and
refinements.
Important features of Amulet include:
- a dynamic, prototype-instance object system that makes prototyping
easier
- automatic constraint solving integrated with the object system
- a "structured-graphics" model (also called a "display list") that
handles automatic refresh of objects when the change
- a high-level input model that makes it easy to add behaviors to
objects and also supports undo and help for operations
- a full set of flexible widgets implemented using the Amulet
intrinsics, so you can easily experiment with your own widgets; and
high-level interactive debugging tools. Widgets include:buttons, check
boxes, radio buttons, menus, menu bars (pull-down menus), scroll bars,
scrolling windows, and text input fields.
Amulet comes with complete documentation including a tutorial.

Arjuna - For writing fault-tolerant (distributed) applications
Arjuna provides a set of tools (C++ classes and libraries) for writing
fault-tolerant distributed applications using persistent objects, atomic
actions, and replication. Included in the system is a C++ stub generator
(and associated RPC mechanism) which takes a C++ class definition for an
object and generates client and server stub code. Using these stub classes
occurs in a relatively transparent manner: the differences between a local
and distributed application are typically only a single line.
The system has been ported to a wide range of architectures and C++
compilers, both by the authors and other users, and has been in use for
several years.
A comprehensive manual is available with the distribution.

C++SIM 1.5.2 - A simulation package written in C++.
C++SIM provides discrete process based simulation similar to that provided
by the simulation class and libraries of SIMULA. The linked list
manipulation facilities provided by SIMSET are also included in the
package, and there is support for a variety of statistics gathering
classes.
The simulation package requires the use of a threads package and currently
only works with the following:
- Sun's lwp threads and Solaris threads
- C++ task library
- NT threads
- Posix threads
- cthreads
- Rex threads
It has been build on a number of different architectures and C++
compilers, and porting to other systems should be relatively easy.

CalcPlus - Interpreter of procedural language
The CalcPlus library is the C++ class library which provides an ability to
use your own programming language built into C++ project. Any algorithm
or any constant needed by application can be carried out into the special
file, when process comes to the key point, it calls function or procedure
stored in the text file. Interpreter runs the function and process
returns back to C++ code. Library contains the interpreter which
understands simple nameless procedural language. Bi-directional
communication between C++ and the code for interpreter available.
Version of the language that comes with the library allows to use
functions, procedures, blocks, preprocessor, global and local variables
and constants, if/for/while statements. Each variable can have value of
type: nil, bool, long, float, string, date. Type definitions and arrays
are allowed. Functions and procedures may be recursive. New functions
written in C++ may be easily added to the language. Syntax of the
language can be modified by changing YACC rules. Interpreter is fast
enough and may be helpful for many tasks.
Platform independent, YACC required.

CB++ - CommonBase Database Access Library for C/C++
This library was written in 1989 as a basis for storing C++ objects in a
relational database. The development of such a system was stopped in 1990
because of problems with the MS-DOS environment used in this time. My
involvement in various user interface projects here in the institute and
otherwhere made it sleep until last week.
Okay, here is it. It is only the database access layer of the projected
object storage system but it has some useful features which are provided
by commercial tools out there:
- Builds on the C language interface of a database, there is no need for
a precompiler (like embedded SQL - which is totally unusable in
combination with C++, at least it was three years ago...)
- Very simple to use. Unlike the native C interfaces of the databases it
is as simple as embedded SQL or some 4th generation languages.
- Makes applications portable among different SQL databases. The library
itself is relatively easy to port as the database vendor specific code
Note - Scott R. Chilcote" (scotty@nando.net) reports he can only find the
a README file at the site given, and his attempts to mail the author's
address given therein fail. (david_r@netvision.net.il) reports he

CBMT - Collaborative BioMolecular Tools
CBMT provides a number of easy-to-use fundamental classes for biologists,
chemists and crystallographers. They include: Molecular Structure,
Sequence, Standard Formats (PDB, CIF, GCG, etc), Geometry, Statistics,
TextParsing, and a single container class (a dynamic Array). All
documentation is in HTML, and member functions have *.c examples. I hope
that the system can be extended as a communal effort and am piloting this
idea in the C++ course at the Globewide Network Academy
Version 1.3 will be posted shortly including an experimental script
language (generated automatically from the *.h files) providing support
for persistent objects manipulatable by other languages such as tcl or
csh.

DOSTmUit - DOS Text Mode User Interface Toolkit
Enables C++ programmers to add a CUA-compliant user interface to their
DOS programs without getting involved in screen coordinates and other
messy details. The programmer merely states which interface objects are
required, and how they are to be placed on the screen in relation to each
other. Those familiar with the ET++ toolkit for the X windows system under
Unix will get the general idea.
Includes a class documentation facility (DocClass) which will generate a
large text file from the source code giving details of every class,
structure, enum and extern in the toolkit. This program will also work on
your own C++ source code. Source is provided.

Most of this code was lifted directly from GNU OCTAVE v1.1.0, hence the
copyright notice at the top.
The forward FFT takes you to freq domain (ala direction == -1), and
backward the other way.
Passing LaVectorComplex/Double or LaGenMatComplex/Double with one
dimension set to 1 will implicitly perform 1D FFT on the data.
The members of the FFT_Pack class are declared static, since they really
need no private member storage. There are two types of transform routines:
ones that return a new complex matrix and the ones that change the matrix
in place.

GECOOL 2.1 - A reworking and enhancement of Texas Instrument's "C++ Object Oriented
Library"
By some programmers at General Electric.
Also available is JCOOL. Its main difference from COOL and GECOOL is that
it uses real C++ templates instead of a similar syntax that is
preprocessed by a special 'cpp' distributed with COOL and GECOOL.
Some users behind "firewalls" have had difficulty accessing the ftp site.

GINA++ - An O-O application framework for C++, X11R5, and OSF/Motif
GINA++ (The Generic INteractive Application for C++) is an object-
oriented application framework that facilitates the development of
applications with a graphical user interface. It is written in C++ and
uses OSF/Motif and X for the user interface parts. GINA++ comes as a
library of C++ classes, 10 small to medium demo applications, and it is
fully documented.
Components of GINA++ are:
- A C++ encapsulation of OSF/Motif providing easy-to-use mechanisms for
deriving new widget classes completely in C++
- Support for object-oriented graphics (rectangles, arrows, circle,
etc)
- An unlimited undo/redo history mechanism
- supporting classes for data structures (list, arrays, etc), run-time
type information, and a notification mechanism.
The classes of GINA++ constitute an executable program - the generic
application - which possesses the basic functionality and the user
interface components common to all interactive graphical applications, but
lacks any application-specific behavior. The predefined functionality and
behavior is inherited by deriving subclasses from the existing GINA++
classes. Application specific behavior is implemented by adding new
classes and member functions. Differences to the standard application are
coded by refining virtual member functions inherited from GINA++.

Lily (LIsp LibrarY) - Gives C++ programmers the capability to write LISP-style code
I think Lily will be useful in academia for instructors who want to
teach artificial intelligence techniques with C++. The garbage collection
mechanism employed by Lily is slow which will make it unattractive for
commercial use.
Documentation is minimal. The "Lily User's Guide" (in file lily.txt)
provides a good overview of the architecture of Lily -- the document is
unfinished. All of the example programs are from Winston's book "LISP
Second Edition" so you will be much better off if you have a copy.
Steele's "Common LISP" describes the behavior of the LISP functions.

LinAlg.shar - basic linear algebra classes and applications
basic linear algebra classes and applications (SVD, interpolation,
multivariate optimization)
The package contains declarations of Matrix, Vector, subMatrix over the
real domain, and *efficient* and fool-proof implementations of level 1 & 2
BLAS (element-wise operations + various multiplications), transpositions
and determinant evaluation/inversion. There are operations on a single
row/col/diagonal of a matrix.
The "new style" of returning matrices (via LazyMatrix) and filling them
out.
New in the Jan 1996 version: extended to include singular value
decomposition (SVD) and its applications to (a regularized) solution of
simultaneous linear equations (with possibly rectangular matrices) and
(pseudo)matrix inverse.
This version of LinAlg.shar also includes Aitken-Lagrange interpolation
over the table of uniform or arbitrary mesh, and a Hook-Jeevse local
multidimensional minimizer, formerly of hl_vector.shar package.
Matrix/Vector/etc classes are expanded with new methods.
More attention to Matrix/Vector promises.
The code is made cross-platform compatible (compiles both under UNIX and
on a Mac).
See LinAlg.h for the complete list of classes and functions, and
vmatrix.cc, vvector.cc, etc. test drivers as to how the features can be
used. See README for hints.

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.

OSE - C++ Library and Build Environment
OSE is a development environment for C/C++ programmers. The major
components of OSE are a generic C++ class library, documentation tools and
build environment. The C++ class library includes support for error
handling, error message logging, error recovery, program debugging, memory
management, resource management, object containment, strings and symbols,
pattern matching, operating system interfacing, simulation and event
driven systems. OSE can be used with all major C++ compilers and UNIX
platforms as well as Windows NT and Windows 95. OSE has been integrated
for use with the ObjectStore OODBMS from Object Design.
OSE was a winner at CODA '94, the ComputerWorld Object Developer Awards,
held in conjunc! tion with ObjectWorld in Sydney, Australia. The category
in which OSE was successful was "Best implementation of a reuseable
development environment for company deployment".

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.

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.
The following files are available :
- PDBLib.1.0.SGI.tar.Z Compressed tar file of PDB object classes
library and header files for SGI. AT&T C++ release 2.1 & 3.0
compatible.
- PDBLib.1.0.Sun.tar.Z Compressed tar file of PDB object classes
library and header files for Sun Sparc station. AT&T C++ release 2.1 &
3.0 compatible.
- PDBLib.1.0.Cvx.tar.Z Compressed tar file of PDB object classes

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.)

valarray
Attempts at providing the functionality described in Chapter 26 of the
draft C++ standard. None of the releases stick perfectly to the
specifications of the proposed standard. Version 2.0 is a very deliberate
step away from the draft as released in April 1995 for public comments in
the USA: it is used as a proof of concept to support a revision of the
original specs.
Some characteristics:
- heavy usage of templates and their automatic instantiation;
- avoidance of temporary arrays in array expressions;
- production of fast compact loops, but some overhead before entering
those loops.

DocClass - Generates class documentation from source files
Docclass is a simple C++ program which reads in C++ header files, and
outputs documentation describing the class hierarchy, methods, inherited
methods etc.
Docclass has a rather dumb parser, but it should cope with reasonably sane
C++ class declarations. It understands comments, and tries to group the
comments with the appropriate class or method.
Docclass does not require templates, or nested classes, as many people had
C++ compilers which didn't support them. With any luck, it should
understand them a little in the code it analyses, though.
Docclass is Copyright (c) Trumphurst Ltd. I have made it available on the
Internet for personal use only. Please do not use it in a commercial
situation (except for testing to see if it is suitable) without first
obtaining permission (mail address below).

The author says:
At this moment I've just implemented the simplification rules and I'm
writing some rules for it. I'm available for some colaboration in this
area. I need some opinions, sujestions, testers, colaboration. The idea
is to get some interest from other Algebra and Mathematic areas (solvers
by example) so they can benefit from the graphical interface. I'm
available for modifications and customization to other classes in order to
build virtually ANY editor.

DCE++ - A C++ API for Programming Distributed Systems
DCE++ is a set of ANSI C++ classes that enable the rapid prototyping of
distributed programs. The goal of DCE++ is to provide a platform
independent C++ API to the significant components used in distributed
computing. Namely: RPC, threads, Security and Naming across the widely
used distributed computing platforms such as DCE, ONC and WNT.
It is expected that by encapsulating platform dependencies inherent in
setting up rpcs, security etc. in DCE++ base classes, program development
time can be drastically reduced. Moreover, a foundation can be provided
for developing *portable* distributed program development tools.
The second *evaluation* version of DCE++, version 0.4, has been released
on Dec 2'93. The release includes C++ bindings for remote procedure calls
over DCE and ONC. A C++ threads api for programming DCE threads. A C++
threads api for programming DCE distributed Time Service. The release is
available free of charge upon signing a very liberal license agreement.
The license agreement is obtainable by anonymous ftp from hal.com. It is
in the directory dce++. The same directory also contains the release notes
for the 0.4 version and plans for 0.5 features. To obtain the code, please
send the signed license agreement to:

C++ Data Object Library - Data structures combined with automatic persistence
C++ Data Object Library has a wide variety of data structures combined
with automatic persistence (storage to disk). In many applications, using
the library is like building your own OO database. The emphasis is on high
performance and protection against allocation and pointer errors. The
library can help practically any C++ project, but is especially useful for
large and complex software projects designs such as VLSI CAD.
Uses a code generator. Data relations are represented as objects.
Protection against pointer errors is achieved by using rings instead of
NULL ending lists. Smart iterators permit to delete objects while
travering lists. Several methods of storing data to disk, including memory
blasting (storing entire pages of memory). Portable programs and data,
schema migration. Data organizations: lists, collections, aggregates,
trees, graphs, dynamic arrays, hash tables, pointer links, reference
counting, many-to-many relation, dynamic properties (like in LISP),
virtual (disk access is if a large array), run-time access to type
tables.
The library is build on ideas described in "Taming C++: Pattern Classes
and Persistence for Large Projects", by Jiri Soukup, Addison-Wesley 1994.
Sells in full source, and runs with all major compilers. A C version with
similar features but with a less elegant interface is also available.
No licence restrictions and no marketing tricks. You can ship the source
of the library with your programs, except for the code generator. A
complete regression test, documentation and support comes with the basic
price. We are one of the oldest class libraries in business, and we stand
behind our software. Prices in US$: $299 DOS,WINDOWS, or MAC $599 UNIX
workstations Postage included in North America, $25 for overseas.

Motif object. DiaViews supports the structured, object-oriented
development of Motif interfaces. C++ features such as rigorous type checks
and virtual functions, etc. enhance the efficiency of the development
process.
Advantages:
- Uniform C++ interface with OSF/Motif
- Framework for generating reusable UI components
- Use of callback objects
- Interface with Dialog Builder, the interactive tool from Siemens
Nixdorf for OSF/Motif user interfaces
- Simple and reliable handling of Motif resources
- Automatic generation of make- files
- Minimal training overhead

Distinct TCP/IP - TCP/IP for Windows Software Development Kit
C++ Class Libraries for FTP, Telnet and Windows Sockets.
Allows developers to develop TCP/IP applications without making calls
directly to a C Dynamic Link Library (DLL). Applications are created using
the Distinct C++ Class Libraries, which take care of establishing the
connection between the client and server side of the application. All
functionality normally associated with calling a TCP/IP application is
taken care of by setting data members and by handling upcall events.
Applications are notified of errors, connection changes and incoming data
by an upcall posted by the library to the applications window, by
providing a callback function to the library or by making polling calls to
the library at frequent intervals.

DV Centro - C++ graphics framework for building visual language applications
DV-Centro provides robust graphics, event management and utilities for
efficiently developing applications that use non-textual interfaces.
Visual language interfaces allow programming through manipulation of
graphic objects. By overlaying, juxtaposing or inter- connecting graphic
objects, a user can interact and manipulate the application.
DV-Centro is designed for creating applications such as graphical editors
and visual language applications - like diagram editors, finite state
machine editors, simulation and control systems, etc.
It provides:
- graphics classes: primitives (line, point, circle etc.), rendering
(Motif, Windows, Postscript), automatic damage repair, properties (color,
fill, line styles etc.), transformations (rotation, scaling,
translation)
- graphical constraint management for graphical connectivity and
containment. For example, keeping lines connected to boxes while editing a
diagram.
- event handling classes for platform-independent definition of events,
states and responses used to define how the system behaves.
- mechanisms for graphical editing (n-level undo/redo, copy/cut/paste,
save/restore etc.)
- utilities: run-time type checking, memory management
- classes to link data to graphics so you have "smart diagrams"
- Python bindings to Centro for rapid development without long C++
compile times

Galaxy
This is a C UI library, but it's written in an object-oriented style and
is type safe for C++ use. The package includes a WYSIWYG GUI builder.
The tools are, reportedly, pretty full-featured. User-interface items have
extensive abstraction (for example, they have a confirmation-type dialog
that resolves to a push-pin and 'apply' button under openlook, but 'ok',
'apply', 'cancel' buttons under motif). Objects can be positioned relative
to each other (rather than merely absolute position on the screen). Also,
errors are handled with an abstract exception handling framework. They
support internationalization of fonts (at least Japanese), money, and data
formatting.
Some extra-cool features include memory leak detection and C-language
objects for text (multi-styled, multi-font text with embedded graphics),
list (spreadsheet-like for handling up to 2^31 x 2^31 cells with
customizable displays), and graphics processing.

GEMSTONE Object Oriented Database
Briefly, GemStone is a full featured OODBMS with transaction control,
multiple users, multiple platforms supported, client server architecture,
active objects (ie, behavior can occur in the database as well as in the
application using it), multiple language support, etc.
GemStone is actually quite a bit more than just a data repository - it is
a full-fledged DBMS that is pure OO. You can access the same database just
as easily from C, C++, or SmallTalk, or you can build entire database
applications inside the database server, because it is an active server
that runs methods written in our DML, OPAL, which is a dialect of
SmallTalk. There are also high-level tools to aid application building.

Generic++
Class library with container classes and basic data types for the
development of portable, object-oriented applications. Actually (Feb 96)
won the readers choice award of "Objekt Spektrum", which is a German SIGS
publication.
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

ILOG BROKER - Distributed Object Computing
ILOG BROKER: C++ library and preprocessor that extend the C++ language to
transparently support Distributed Object Computing environments.
Developers can make any existing linked C++ application distributed, by
minimally changing their header files. A set of about 15 keywords enable
ILOG BROKER's preprocessor to generate standard C++ code.
Once the header files have been annotated, the preprocessor automatically
generates the C++ source code to build the distributed application.
Communication between objects is performed through the use of local
surrogates calling methods on the real implementation objects across a
network. The current implementation relies on RPC for the transportation
layer. ILOG BROKER annotations have also been designed to generate IDL
code for CORBA 2 specifications.
ILOG BROKER does not impose the use of a dedicated server. Each object in
the distributed application can be both a client and a server to and for
other objects, therefore providing a true peer-to-peer programming tool.
Cost: $5,000 per Unix-based development license. Preferred university
rates available upon request.

ILOG SERVER - C++ object server implementing real-time groupware applications
ILOG SERVER is a C++ library and preprocessor for building reactive
servers of C++ objects. It offers a client-independent external
abstraction of the data, which ensures the coherence of the shared
objects. Each client: - has its own API (Application Programming
Interface) - only has to be concerned with the objects it manipulates -
does not have to worry about other clients sharing the same objects
ILOG SERVER is an extension of the SmallTalk Model View Controller (MVC)
architecture to manipulate custom C++ objects instead of fundamental data
types. Developers describe object models by annotating their header files
using about 15 predefined keywords. Once the header files have been
annotated, ILOG SERVER's C++ preprocessor automatically generates the
appropriate C++ code.
By extending the notion of a C++ pointer as a data member, ILOG SERVER
makes it possible to easily build relationships with cardinalities between
C++ classes that will automatically be maintained. This extension to C++
supports inheritance and relationships based on smart pointers.
Cost: $5,000 per Unix-based development license. Preferred university
rates available upon request. Demonstration CD-ROM available
