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.

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: 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:

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.

BRL10 - Binary Relations Library for C/C++

Binary relations are more directly based on semantic concepts rather than on recordlike structures as traditional (relational, hierarchies, networks, object-oriented) models are.

Binary Relations tend to be more functionally complete in their information processing capability, and more precise in their semantic modelling.

The Binary Relations Approach was implemented in Binary Relations Library for C/C++. BRL is not a full featured DBMS. It does not support all ideas of the Binary Relations Approach. BRL is however a small, fast and reliable engine.

BRL provides basic tools for using binary relations in C and C++ programs.

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.

Callbacks - Inter-component callbacks using functors

This library provides a comprehensive, portable, type-safe, efficient, general purpose mechanism for inter-component callbacks using template functors. Full source code and examples.

A complete rationale and description of this mechanism appeared in my article in the February 1995 issue of the C++ Report (now reprinted in 'C++ Gems', SIGS Books). Users are strongly encouraged to read the article before proceeding, as the library has minimal embedded documentation at present.

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:

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.

CDBFile - C++ library to handle dBASE III files

CDBFile is a C++ object-oriented package for programmers who need to manipulate dBASE III files in their programs. It enables you to perform many operations on an existing DBF file: reading/writing to it, accessing its values, sorting the records, adding/deleting records, etc. It comes with full text and postscript documentation, and commented source code. A demonstration program, TestDBF, shows the various possibilities of the CDBFile library, and its source file, testdbf.cpp, demonstrates how to implement CDBFile within a program. CDBFile was designed to be as portable as possible: you should be able to compile it under "as is" any DOS/Windows C++ compiler; porting it to Un*x/Linux should also require little effort.

Since CDBFile is distributed under the GNU Public License for libraries, I hope that programmers will like it and suggest or implement enhance- ments and additional features to that piece of software.

FFTPACK++ - C++ version of FFTPACK

FFT_Pack is a C++ wrapper for FFTPACK complex routines using LAPACK++ Matrix and Vector classes. 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.

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:

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.
