Last-modified: 1993/12/03
Here is the third draft of a list of available C++ libraries I am
compiling. I intend to post this monthly (unless there are any
complaints). It is also submitted to news.answers, and archived along
with all the other Usenet FAQ lists at rtfm.mit.edu.
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. One recent
contribution of note is a C++ matrix class listing posted to the net by
Keith (kbriggs@maths.adelaide.edu.au).
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.
Please mail comments, criticisms, additions and amendments to me at
cpplibs@trmphrst.demon.co.uk.

Texas Persistant Store
Paul R. 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.)

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.

Lily (LIsp LibrarY) C++ class library which gives C++ programmers the
ite 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.

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.

GINA++ - An O-O application framework for C++, X11R5, and OSF/Motif
Requires: AT&T 3.0 based C++ compiler (Sun C++ 2.0.1), X11R5, Motif 1.2
Platforms supported: Sun Sparc, HP
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: (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++.

OATH (Object-oriented Abstract Type Hierarchy) was designed
as an experiment in increasing object-oriented reuse.
It has a fairly high learning curve, but potentially
higher gains if you are looking for a more flexible and
robust abstraction. It is completely unsupported.

COOL (C++ Object-Oriented Library) was designed as an

are implemented via a preprocessor with an advanced macro
capability. It displays a different set of trade-offs

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.

LEDA, A Library of Efficient Data Types and Algorithms, by Stefan N"aher
from Germany. 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
algorite
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.

OSE consists of three C++ class libraries, a build environment based on
GNU make, programs for documentation extraction and other miscellaneous
tools.
The C++ libraries include generic classes and some UNIX specific classes.
Collection classes use templates compatable with AT&T C++ 3.0. If you
have a C++ compiler which does not support templates, a template
preprocessor supplied with OSE can be used.
OSE uses a GNU style configure script, making it relatively easy to
install, even on platforms for which it may not yet have been compiled.
For DOS users, a script is provided to create a copy of the C++ libraries
suitable for compilation on that platform.
To get further information about OSE, without actually fetching the
complete package, either fetch the file "ANNOUNCE" from one of the

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
agree distribution.

It is still under development so there is no documentatin and some
functions have not been throughly tested. It is a departure from most
matrix libs in that it includes things like UpperTriangular different
>from Diagonal, from Row, from Col, etc.

Cvmath.cc
An include file to make complex math look like regular math.
Author : Leonard Kamlet, lik@engin.umich.edu
Comments : The file uses a lot of operator overloading, so that
if x=a+ib and y=c+id, the code for multiplying the two
together looks like z = x*y; Also, the file includes nrutil
from Numerical Recipes, and adds the complex versions for
vectors and matrices.

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.

C++ FEM (Finite Element Method) Library
In addition to FEM related classes, this library also has:
1) Some simple garbage collection stuff

3) A sparse matrix library
This is an initial release and people should *expect* to have to do some
work to get it running on their system. If you have gcc-2.3.3, libg++-2.

Ode Object database v2.0
Ode is an object-oriented database based on the C++ database model.
The primary interface to Ode is the database programming language O++
which is based on C++.
Ode is now available to Universities. The current version of Ode runs on
Sun (Sparc) workstations and users must have C++ release 2.0 or a later
release. If you are interested in using Ode and giving us feedback on
your experience with Ode, please send mail to nhg@research.att.com with
the appropriate information.

C++SIM 1.0 - 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.
The simulation package requires the use of a threads package and
currently only works with Sun's lightweight process library or the Gnu
thread package (which *is* included in the distribution). The package has
been used on Sun workstations, and, with the exception of the thread
library requirement, contains no system specific code which should make
porting to other systems relatively easy. The code has been compiled
with Cfront 2.1 and Cfront 3.0.1 and g++ 2.3.3

ADAPTIVE Communication Environment (ACE) C++ IPC wrappers
The contents of this release encapsulate the following user-level BSD
and System V Release 4 (SVR4) IPC facilities via type-secure,
object-oriented C++ interfaces:
o Internet and UNIX-domain sockets (including broadcasting)
o I/O multiplexing via select and poll
o named pipes (FIFOs) and STREAM pipes (plus connld)
o the mmap family of memory-mapping APIs
o System V IPC (i.e., shared memory, semaphores, message queues)
o SVR4 explicit dynamic linking facilities (i.e., dlopen/dlsym/dlclose)
The release contains complete source code, documentation, and
example test drivers for the C++ wrapper libraries developed as part
of the ADAPTIVE project at the University of Calfornia, Irvine. The
current release has been tested fairly extensively on Sun workstations
running Sun OS 4.1.2 and Solaris 2.2. I expect that most of the
release will port easily to other platforms.

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

Matrix.h++ includes all the functionality of Math.h++. For example:
general matrices, vectors, statistics, complex numbers, Fast Forier
Transformation (FFT's), etc. Matrix.h++ adds specialized matrix classes
such as banded, symmetric, positive-definite, Hermitian, tridiagonal, etc.
Because Matrix.h++ includes Math.h++, it can take advantage of
Math.h++'s highly optimized low-level assembly routines, making it fast
as well as graceful.

for a variety of matrix types, solutions of over- and under-determined
systems of equations, incremental least squares solvers, etc. But,
Linpack.h++ is a tru object-oriented library, not just a C version that
compiles under C++: the traditional messiness of the Fortran version has
been replaced with high-level, yet efficient, objects that make code far
easier to write and maintain.

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.

Also included is the source for the library (and for the Designer!).
In addition to the usual GUI stuff, Zinc also provides international
character support (an extended version, for extra bux, is in the works),
some container classes, and filesystem portability. They also allow you
to incorporate platform-specific stuff (e.g., system messages) into their

NetClasses Typed Objects provide an object-oriented data transport in
which the structure and organization of objects is specified externally
in configurable files using a simple, programming language independent
abstract syntax notation, the NetClasses Abstract Syntax Notation (NASN).
Remote method invocations (RMI). Using RMI, an application on machine B
can invoke a method on machine A. RMI makes fault tolerance and
connection management transparent to the application programmer. The RMI
layer is built on top of the distributed services package that is
described below.
Reading and writeing all three varieties of NetClasses-transportable
objects on streams using machine-independent external representations.
Currently available on Sun SPARC; currently testing on HP workstations.

ILOG RULES is a high performance embeddable rule-based inference
engine. It is a forward chaining tool, written in C++ (hence it is
object-oriented and supports inheritance mechanisms) and is also
provided as a C++ library.
It runs virtually on any Unix platform (e.g., HP97X0, Sun4, RS/6000,
DecStations) as well as on PCs running DOS (with or without MS/Windows)
or OS/2.
It extends OPS/5 with nested premises (objects as values), rule packets
(logical grouping of rules), a full Truth Maintenance System (TMS) for
efficient non-monotonic reasoning, compilation of rules into C/C++ code,
and an object oriented data-model in C++. ILOG RULES work directly on
user objects, so interfacing is straightforward. C/C++ code may be
included in rule conditions and actions. ILOG RULES is based on the fast
XRETE implementation of the RETE algorithm developed by Thomson-CSF.

ImageSoft's Object/Engineering C++ class library supports simulation.
The library provides a natural approach to solving discrete-event
simulation problems. Modularity is reinforced by implementing the
process objects as concurrent tasks. Support is provided for dynamic
systems; transaction operators; transaction messages; as well as
queuing network thread with polymorphic scheduler (timer for
discrete-event simulation; tracer for simulation run; processes
in discrete-event simulation with services delay;
conventional/unconditional blocking, pre-emption, etc.;
shared queues/links in network with LIFO, FIFO & arbitrary
queuing discipline; producing node and source; consuming node
and sink; generic queuing network nodes and servers.
And full source code is provided together with extensive
documentation, examples and tutorial. There are also an
enourmous number of other class libraries included with
source that are of interest to the scientific and engineering community.

KALA Object Oriented Database
Kala(tm) is a Persistent Data Server managing distributed, shared,
arbitrarily complex and evolving persistent data. Kala is highly
efficient and secure. Kala manages the visibility of persistent data
elements to its clients, thus supporting any types of transactions,
versions, access control, security, configurations. Kala does not
restrict you to any particular model. Kala provides the mechanism, but
imposes no policy.
o Kala is available now on Sun platforms (SunOS / 68K & SPARC). A
80x86/DOS version is now available to alpha and early beta sites.
Ports to Windows and MacOS are also likely in the near future. Any
port is possible as NRE.
o Kala's interface is ANSI C, also callable from C++.

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.

M++
M++ isn't as well known as the RogueWave math.h++ libraries, but it has
been around longer. 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.
