We've been talking about libraries in another thread and I was thinking that often people use the libraries they know of. So here's an opportunity to spread the word about libraries that you use and love. By libraries, I *don't* mean components, good as they are. I mean things like Boost, which seems to have very good docs. When replying, please include URL and information about documentation, support etc. Over to you.....

We also use fourier transform and curve fitting stuff from a component library (SDL Suite - [url]http://www.lohninger.com/)[/url]. It is a component library, but it is also a good collection of mathematical routines. Help is very good. The main developer is always available on their own web-based support forums. Help isn't bad either Cheers Russell Pete Fraser wrote: Quote: When replying, please include URL and information about documentation, support etc. Over to you.....

While you cannot truly 'implement' a pattern, this set of templates will generate an implementation customised for your specific needs through policy templates. Documentation is as good as it gets: http://www.moderncppdesign.com/ This book describes the concepts and design of how the library was built as well as how to use it <g> There is some overlap between Loki and Boost, and as boost is more actively maintained I prefer the boost implementations of a concept where available. boost vs Loki smart pointers can be a religious issue though ;?)

SQLAPI++ - http://www.sqlapi.com/ A database query library that does one job, does it well and fully abstracts away the often platform specific details of interacting with a RDBMS. Its architecture is similar to the lower level VCL DB access components, so it's a good way to remove VCL dependency from the lower layers of your application (just in case there won't be another BCB ;-) Cheers, -- Nicola Musatti Team Thai Kingdom Back to top Hendrik Schober Guest Posted: Fri Nov 26, 2004 11:59 am    Post subject: Re: What libraries do you use?

Anyone inspired to add a new pattern to Loki is usually aware of Boost, and likely to go that route for a submission. Maybe it is time I dust off my research into policy driven observer patterns?
