Projects

GNU C Library

The GNU C Library, glibc, provides the standard C library interface for GNU/Linux and other Free Software operating systems.

Boost C++ Libraries

Boost was begun by members of the ISO C++ Standard committee Library Working Group to provide free peer-reviewed portable libraries to the C++ community. An additional objective is to establish "existing practice" and provide reference implementations so that the Boost libraries are ... [More] suitable for eventual standardization. Components successfully moved into draft ISO Standard C++09 include shared_ptr, regular expressions, function wrappers and binders. [Less]

cabal

Cabal is a system for building and packaging Haskell libraries and programs. It defines a common interface for package authors and distributors to easily build their applications in a portable way. Cabal is part of a larger infrastructure for distributing, organizing, and cataloging Haskell libraries and programs.

guava-libraries

The Guava project contains several of Google's core libraries that we rely on in our Java-based projects: collections, caching, primitives support, concurrency libraries, common annotations, string processing, I/O, and so forth.

Xlib

Xlib provides a C API for the X Window System protocol, along with numerous utility functions. Current versions of Xlib provide a compatibility wrapper around the X C Binding (XCB) library. For new projects, particularly toolkits, see the XCB library for the designated replacement.

Apache Portable Runtime

claimed by Apache Software Foundation

The mission of the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) project is to create and maintain software libraries that provide a predictable and consistent interface to underlying platform-specific implementations. The primary goal is to provide an API to which software developers may code and be assured of ... [More] predictable if not identical behaviour regardless of the platform on which their software is built, relieving them of the need to code special-case conditions to work around or take advantage of platform-specific deficiencies or features. [Less]

XCB

X Window System protocol binding library. Originally for C bindings, but now generalized to several other languages. This is a lightweight replacement for the binding portion of Xlib, featuring thread transparency, XML extensibility, and a small and straightforward interface. The version of ... [More] Xlib currently being distributed by X.Org uses XCB for its transport; this allows XCB and Xlib calls to be freely mixed for ease in porting applications and toolkits. Most of the XCB C code is autogenerated from XML descriptions. (This may be why Ohloh complains about the degree of code commenting.) [Less]

POCO C++ Libraries

The POCO C++ Libraries (POCO stands for POrtable COmponents) are open source C++ class libraries that simplify and accelerate the development of network-centric, portable applications in C++. The libraries integrate perfectly with the C++ Standard Library and fill many of the functional gaps left ... [More] open by it. Their modular and efficient design and implementation makes the POCO C++ Libraries extremely well suited for embedded development, an area where the C++ programming language is becoming increasingly popular, due to its suitability for both low-level (device I/O, interrupt handlers, etc.) and high-level object-oriented development. Of course, the POCO C++ Libraries are also ready for enterprise-level challenges. [Less]

Flusspferd

Javascript bindings for C++, a Javascript interpreter/shell & Javascript/C++ module system. It includes a few Javascript classes and modules. It supports easy embedding of Javascript in C++ and vice versa. The currently supported engine is Spidermonkey.

GNU Mailutils

GNU Mailutils is a rich and powerful protocol-independent mail framework. It contains a series of useful mail libraries, clients, and servers. These are the primary mail utilities for the GNU system. The central library is capable of handling electronic mail in various mailbox formats and protocols ... [More] , both local and remote. Specifically, this project contains a POP3 server, an IMAP4 server, and a Sieve mail filter. It also provides a POSIX `mailx' client, and a collection of other handy tools. The GNU Mailutils libraries supply an ample set of primitives for handling electronic mail in programs written in C, C++, Python or Scheme. [Less]
