Lines: 3128 Approved: news-answers-request@MIT.Edu Expires: 19 Sep 1995 20:12:18 GMT Message-ID: Reply-To: cpplibs@trmphrst.demon.co.uk NNTP-Posting-Host: bloom-picayune.mit.edu Summary: Contains a list of available C++ libraries, both PD and commercial. X-Last-Updated: 1995/07/10 X-Mailer: cppnews $Revision: 1.43 $ Originator: faqserv@bloom-picayune.MIT.EDU Xref: senator-bedfellow.mit.edu comp.lang.c++:141705 comp.answers:13550 news.answers:50156 Archive-name: C++-faq/libraries Comp-lang-c++-archive-name: C++-faq/libraries --------------------------------------------------------- CHANGES SINCE LAST SUBMISSION (May 4 1995) OSE entry updated. fACTs++ entry added. FFTPACK++ entry added. Warne's Garbage Collector entry added. Added new section "Source code from books available for ftp" Thinking in C++ entry added. SIMEX entry added. Added new section "Tools for C++ Programmers". I would rather there was a separate FAQ for tools, but, until someone starts one, this will have to do. Added Cback and MTS entries. Corrected ftp site for wxWindows. Updated ftp site for Coplien & Hansen, and move entries to books section. --------------------------------------------------------- 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). Sorry about the long gap since the last posting. It is also submited to 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 pub/usenet-by-group/comp.lang.c++/C++_FAQ/libraries. 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 is also available from rtfm - the files are called _posting_#1_4, _posting_#2_4, _posting_#3_4 and _posting_#4_4, and they are in the same directory. 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. Entries are in the order I received them, i.e. totally random. Some future version might have the entries in alphabetical order, but don't hold your breath :-) If your library isn't mentioned, or you wish to update your entry in this list, feel free to mail me the new entry. Please note that entries will be restricted to a couple of paragraphs - if you send me a 100k text file giving minute details, I will have to summarise it. It is much easier for me if you just send me an entry which is the right size to start with. Suggested points to include in your entry are ... Name of package. Brief summary of purpose. Short list of features. Supported compilers, operating systems etc. Licence restrictions. Vendors may care to give an idea of prices. E-mail addresses for more details. Ftp site(s). Postal address/telephone/FAX numbers. 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. *** *** *** *** *** NOTE TO VENDORS *** *** *** *** *** This FAQ contains details of both free and commercial libraries. Vendors who have sent me details of their libraries for inclusion in the FAQ have been pleasantly surprised by the level of interest generated. Please remember, I only allow 2 or 3 paragraphs describing the product, and no advertising hype ! Libraries available via ftp ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ --------------------------------------------------------- SIMEX - Provides classes that help a user develop discrete-event simulation models, with an emphasis on epidemiology and biology. Classes for random number generation, event and process management, user interface (commandline arguments, TTY, or Tcl/TK), aggregate statistics, basic data structures (list, strings, weighted ordered sets). Many examples. Known to work with g++ 2.6.x SunOS. Some problems with HP. Freely available via ftp.

FFTPACK routines were converted to C using f2c and also modified to use double precision complex using -r8 to f2c. 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. For example: LaGenMatComplex cmat; // ... // initialize cmat. // ... // the following computes the forward FFT of Matrix cmat and returns // a new matrix which then initializes a new matrix cmat2. LaGenMatComplex cmat2 = FFT_Pack::forward(cmat); // The following simply overwrites itself by reinitializing with the // anonymous matrix returned by FFT_Pack::forward. cmat = FFT_Pack::forward(cmat); // in-place example. In case of large matrices, it is best to try to // optimize memory usage using IP (in-place) routines. Note that you // can only use Complex matrices in this case. FFT_Pack::forward_IP(cmat); Prerequites/Installation: compiler: you'd need a C++ compiler (I've used both cfront 3.0.1 and gcc-2.6.3) on a variety of platforms. LaMatrix++: You'd need LaMatrix++ class library from LAPACK++. Check out ftp://netlib.att.com/netlib/c++ if you don't have it. FFTPACK: you can use the f2c'd fftpack routines I've provided with the package, or you can use the original FORTRAN version from netlib. F2C: If your system does not have F77 compiler environment installed, then you would need libf2c.a (ie., libF77.a + libI77.a), also available from netlib.

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 (http://info.desy.de/gna/html/cc/index.html) 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.

Comes with full source code! Is DOS specific (current version works only under BC++ 3.0 and higher). This class in PD, current version for registered users is version 4. ftp from oak.oakland.edu in /pub/msdos/cplusplus or /pub/msdos/cluspls ? --------------------------------------------------------- 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. This software is Copyright 1993-1994 by Citibank, N.A. Permission is granted to use, copy, modify and distribute the software and its documentation without fee.

The library is claimed to be portable. No licence restrictions. Arindam Banerji (219)-631-5273 (Voice) (219)-631-9260 (FAX) mail: axb@defender.dcrl.nd.edu axb@cse.nd.edu ftp from invaders.dcrl.nd.edu in /pub/software/rtti.tar.Z --------------------------------------------------------- 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. ftp from obelix.icce.rug.nl in /pub/peter/aisearch.zip or /pub/peter/aisearch.tar.Z --------------------------------------------------------- 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. Supported compilers are Zortech C++ 3.0r4, Borland C++ 3.1. The toolkit is free for non-commercial use. Commercial licences may be obtained from the author. mail: uit@trmphrst.demon.co.uk ftp from ftp.demon.co.uk[158.152.1.65] in pub/trumphurst/dosuit??.zip Also uitbor??.zip for Borland C++ users --------------------------------------------------------- Lapack++ Description : C++ version of some of lapack fortran code.

Wilson and Sheetal V. Kakkad Object-Oriented Programming Systems research group (oops@cs.utexas.edu) Computer Sciences Dept., University of Texas at Austin 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.) mailing list : oops@cs.utexas.edu ftp from cs.utexas.edu in pub/garbage/texas More info in pub/garbage/swizz.ps and pub/garbage/texaspstore.ps --------------------------------------------------------- wxWindows is a C++ class library for building Motif, Open Look, Windows 3.1 and NT applications from the same source code. One simple API is provided for all platforms. wxWindows supports objects such as frames, subwindows, buttons, list boxes, icons, and bitmaps, and supports drawing into canvases, PostScript files, Windows printers, metafiles and bitmaps using the same drawing primitives. wxWindows provides a hypertext help facility, and a utility for maintaining documentation in printed and three hypertext formats. It also provides an interprocess communication API based on DDE, that works under both Windows 3.1 and UNIX. Documentation is available in PostScript, RTF, Windows Help, wxHelp and HTML formats.

University of Notre Dame Notre Dame, IN 46556 (219)-631-5273 (219)-631-5772 --------------------------------------------------------- Lily (LIsp LibrarY) C++ class library which 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. Lily uses the GNU Library General Public License. Lily works well with GNU g++ version 2.4.5 (and probably earlier releases). Lily works with Turbo C++ for Windows but not with Turbo C++ (though the current version hasn't been tested with Turbo C++ for Windows). Lily does *not* work with AT&T's cfront because cfront does not handle temporary objects very well. ftp from sunsite.unc.edu (152.2.22.81) in /pub/packages/development/libraries/lily-0.1.tar.gz --------------------------------------------------------- DiamondBase is a library of C++ routines and utilities that allow you to add Relational Database functionality to your C++ programs. It is written entirely in C++, and great pains have been taken to ensure it compiles under a variety of compilers including gcc, cfront and Borland's C++ compiler for OS/2. It runs on a wide variety of Unix platforms and OS/2. There are no plans to support DOS or Windows at the moment. It comes with a 47 page manual.

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: (1) A C++ encapsulation of OSF/Motif providing easy-to-use mechanisms for deriving new widget classes completely in C++, (2) Support for object-oriented graphics (rectangles, arrows, circle, etc), (3) An unlimited undo/redo history mechanism, (4) 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++.

It is completely unsupported. ftp from csc.ti.com (192.94.94.1) in pub/oath.tar.Z --------------------------------------------------------- NIHCL (National Institute of Health's C++ Library) is essentially a mapping of part of Smalltalk's library into C++. It lies somewhere between OATH and COOL. It is a little better supported and there is a textbook by the author, Keith Gorlen, that is fairly good documentation. However, the Smalltalk hierarchy is not completely consistent (IMO) with the C++ strong typing nature. It is weakly supported. ftp from alw.nih.gov (198.231.128.251) in pub/nihcl.tar.Z --------------------------------------------------------- libg++ (GNU's C++ library) is probably only relevant if you are using g++; and if so, you already know about it.

It is available for educatioal purposes but its NOT in the public domain. Provides basic data-types like lists, stacks, queues, trees, sets, partitions, priority queues and a few others. These are parameterizable classes, you may add your own datatype and have a priority queue ... An important datatype is a graph, these are also parameterizable and there are useful algorithms for them like shortest path, transitive closure, matching, maximum flow, spanning tree and others, we have implemented a few algorithms for dealing with perfect graphs, but these ar not part of the standard library. The latest part deals with computational geometry. It can be used with C++ compilers which understand templates, such as cfront 3.0 and g++ 2.4.5.

The core of the environment is the C++ class libraries, of which three are provided. These are: OTCLIB - A library of generic components, including support for error handling, error message logging, error recovery, program debugging, memory management, resource management, generic collections, text manipulation, date/time, operating system interfacing and event driven systems. OUXLIB - A library of components which primarily extends classes in the OTCLIB library to support features specific to the UNIX operating system. OTKLIB - A library of components which builds on the OTCLIB and OUXLIB libraries to allow integration of the TCL/TK library into applications using the event driven systems framework provided by the OTCLIB library. The C++ libraries are portable to a wide range of C++ compilers on the UNIX platform. Supported C++ compilers include those from ATT/USL (CFRONT), CenterLine, DEC, HP, IBM, Lucid, ObjectStore, SGI (CFRONT), SGI (DELTA), Sun (CFRONT) and Sun (NATIVE), as well as the freely available GNU C++ compiler. If your C++ compiler does not support templates, it is possible to use a template preprocessor which is supplied with OSE. If your C++ compiler support exceptions, they will be used. Portability to all the major variants of UNIX has been achieved. Supported platforms include AIX, BSD, HPUX, IRIX, Linux, NeXT, OSF, SCO, Solaris, SunOS, SYSV and Ultrix. In addition to being available under UNIX, the OTCLIB library has been ported to DOS, OS/2 and Windows NT using Borland, Watcom and Microsoft C++ compilers. The C++ libraries have been fully integrated with the ObjectStore OODBMS, allowing instances of classes from the C++ libraries to be made persistent. The C++ libraries can also be used in conjunction with applications using Versant, although in this case instances of classes from the C++ libraries cannot be made persistent. In addition to the C++ libraries, a build environment is provided. The build environment greatly simplifies the writing of makefiles, making the the task of building applications, as well as the generation and installation of both static and shared libraries easy. The details of template instantiation for many of the C++ compilers is also hidden, making it possible to write makefiles which are portable between different C++ compilers as well as different platforms. The build environment also supports tasks such as schema generation for the ObjectStore and Versant OODBMS, and testing of applications using tools such as Purify, Quantify, PureCoverage, TestCenter and Sentinel. Comprehensive documentation for the C++ libraries and build environment is provided. Documentation for the C++ libraries comes in the form of a UNIX style manual page for each class and higher level documentation giving examples of how to use the classes. The UNIX style manual pages are generated from the class header files using documentation extraction tools. These tools are provided with OSE and are capable of generating both UNIX style manual pages and Frame documents. Development of OSE commenced in 1990, being made freely available via the Internet in 1993. OSE was winner of CODA'94, the ComputerWorld Object Developer Awards, held in conjunction with ObjectWorld in Sydney, Australia. The category in which OSE was a winner was "Best implementation of a reusable development environment for company deployment".

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.

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.

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.

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.

Using a multi-tiered parallel algorithm with the first tier inline, WGC can allocate most objects inline in less than 10 instructions! To enhance space efficiency WGC uses address-aligned storage algorithms with no per-object overhead (no linked lists!). To reduce fragmentation, WGC maintains a single process free store for all threads, modules, and DLLs. 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.

The poster sent me the following paragraph. It has a little too much hype for my taste. (S)he also included a complete copy of the Programmers Guide - I am afraid I don't have time to read and summarise it here. This is more than just a wrapper for the WinSockets calls. It provides higher-level functions that make reading/writing to sockets very easy. Additionally, the Async aspect of the library makes using the asynchronous functionality of WinSockets *very* easy and your code *very* clean. It costs $50 which includes full source. email: troy@cais.com. --------------------------------------------------------- Distinct 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. Supported compilers: Microsoft C++ version 7 and Visual C++ 1.0 and 1.5.

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-con- suming 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 mod- ules as possible independent of a specific target platform. What gives Generic++ its competitive edge is the portability of its com- ponents 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++ exten- sions 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 * Suitability for use in the development of client/ server applications in heterogeneous networks.

This means there is a C++ class for every 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 * Frame- work 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 relia- ble handling of Motif resources * Automatic generation of make- files * Minimal training overhead.

BCM implementation is based on Internet Sockets, which use the TCP/IP protocol. This means that the C++ input/output streams can be made transparent for use in inter-proc- ess communication. Advantages: * The user does not have to bother about platform-spe- cific details * Classes are available for transport, the dispatcher, data representation, the message header and the name service.

The new options offered by the object-oriented language make it possible to implement a considerably more efficient user interface than is possible with the traditional `embedded' SQL. The aim is to set up a simple and efficient connection between an SQL database and an application developed in C++. SQL data types and both dynamic and static SQL are supported. This means that all the features of an SQL database can be accessed from a C++ applica- tion. Advantages: * The user can forget about a large number of data- base-specific details with regard to communication * Secure inte- gration in object-oriented C++ applications * When ANSI-SQL is used, the application can be ported between various databases.

The look and feel of ILOG VIEWS 2 applications can be changed dynamically from Motif to Windows on all platforms. Platforms: DEC OSF/1, HP, IBM, Silicon Graphics, and Sun workstations (both SunOS and Solaris) as well as on PCs running Microsoft Windows 3.1, Windows NT, and OS/2 Presentation Manager. Demonstration CD-ROM available upon request. ILOG BUILDER: is a GUI builder that generates OSF/Motif interfaces in C and C++. It offers UIL read/write capabilities and tight integration with ILOG VIEWS. ILOG DB LINK: is a C++ library to connect RDBMS such as Sybase, Oracle, Ingres, Informix, or SQLBase to C++ applications. 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. Platforms: DEC OSF/1, HP, IBM, Silicon Graphics, and Sun workstations (both SunOS and Solaris) Cost: $5,000 per Unix-based development license. Preferred university rates available upon request. Demonstration CD-ROM available 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. Platforms: DEC OSF/1, HP, IBM, Silicon Graphics, and Sun workstations (both SunOS and Solaris) Cost: $5,000 per Unix-based development license. Preferred university rates available upon request. ILOG SOLVER: is a C++ constraint reasoning library for solving complex resource management problems such as scheduling, configuration, and planning. ILOG SCHEDULE: is an add-on library to ILOG SOLVER dedicated to solving scheduling problems. ILOG RULES: is a C++ tool for data monitoring in real-time environments. ILOG RULES embeddable inference engine applies rules directly on native C++ application objets. ILOG TALK: is an object-oriented dynamic language offering a seamless integration with C++ class libraries.

It has a number of features that distinguish it from the RogueWave classes, notably improved handling of temporaries. M++ was explicitly designed to provide the functionality of an array language like Matlab or Gauss and it contains the Linpack, Eispack stuff found in RogueWave's Linpack.h++. Dyad Software, also sell modules written in M++ for doing statistical work, including linear and nonlinear least squares estimation, as well as optimization, numerical integration, and differential equations.
