Subject: COMMERCIAL: Release of CIDLib C++ Class Libraries Version 1.0
Date: Fri, 14 May 1999 20:52:53 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
Charmed Quark Software is pleased to announce version 1.0.0 of the CIDLib
C++ Class Libraries. This latest version has been posted to the Charmed
Quark Software website at:
www.charmedquark.com
CIDLib is a general purpose C++ class library system, which currently
contains approximately 300 classes. CIDLib has no GUI services. It is
oriented towards back end server development though it certainly can be used
behind client side applications.
The reference release of CIDLib is for NT and Visual C++. However, there is
a Linux port which is very close to being completed. A link is available on
the main page if you are interested in being an early evaluator of this
port. If you are interested in porting CIDLib to other platforms, see the
porting links on the main page and contact CQS if you want to take on a
port. It should not be a huge amount of work, since CIDLib is immaculately
layered.
Licensing issues are covered on the main page, but the short overview is
that CIDLib is free for freeware and personal projects and has a very
reasonable licensing fee for shareware, commercial, and in-house projects.
A full class reference is available on line, as is the tutorial. The
tutorial is also available in its original Word97 format if you want to get
a more readable/printable version.
Full source code is provided, though of course it is all protected
intellectual property and cannot be used separately from CIDLib itself, as
is discussed in the legal issues link from the main page.
Here is a general list of the functionality provided by CIDLib in the 1.0.0
release.
-----------------------------------
Abstraction Kernel
- -------------------
CIDLib implements its own 'micro kernel' layer which abstracts its from the
host platform and greatly enhances portability. Outside the kernel, no host
or RTL headers are used. This allows all CIDLib and client code to use a
high level of error reporting during compilations, without the need for
non-ANSI C++ compliant compiler extensions required for most direct
operating system or RTL access.
For instance, in the current Linux port which is underway, there is zero
(that's right zero) conditional code in the entire system (approximately 200
to 250K lines) which is platform specific. This is accomplished by having a
virtual kernel to which all other functionality is targeted.
Build Utility
- --------------
To support build infrastructure portability for CIDLib itself, the CIDBuild
utility provides convenient build services for the source code release. It
is written in plain C++ and is easily portable to other platforms and
development environments. It supports project dependency, header dependency
analysis, platform independent project settings, and message file
compilation.
You can of course build the system in your favorite IDE if you so choose.
But, from CQS' perspective, its important to provide a way to build multiple
versions automatically.
Advanced RTTI
- --------------
Polymorphic streaming, dynamic object creation, fully integrated runtime
type information system, type repository, and simple meta class support.
Collections
- ------------
Bags, sorted bags, deques, queues, stacks, doubly linked lists, singly
linked lists, hash maps, hash sets, and object arrays. They are fully
templatized, typesafe, and optionally thread safe on a per-instance basis.
Simpler arrays, stacks, queues, and deques are also provided for fundamental
data
types.
Core Data Types
- ----------------
Strings, memory buffers (heap, system, and shared system), areas, points,
sizes, colors, ranges, money, numerics, time stamps, etc...
Encryption Frameworks
- ----------------------
CIDLib has an encryption framework that you can extend to implement any
encryption algorithms you require. It currently supports Blowfish and MD5,
with others planned for future releases. You can easily plug in your own
algorithms or other 3rd party algorithms, to take immediate advantage of the
framework and have your algorithm's integrate seamlessly into the system.
Exceptions, Logging Support
- ----------------------------
Extensive support for error and message logging and exception management.
Fully C++ enabled, multiple language message file support with custom
message compiler which generates namespace based const message ids instead
of #define'd values. Runtime error and system exception stack trace dump
support.
File System Support
- --------------------
Directory iteration, general file system maintenance, find buffers, smart
path strings, binary files, text files, etc...
Streams
- --------
Text and binary streams, stream lexer, etc... Streams are abstracted from
the actual data source via implementation objects, so they can be extended
to use many different data sources. CIDLib comes with file, string, memory
buffer, and console based implementations. Stream format janitors support
safe scope based format changes. Endian transparency is provided for binary
data, to support heterogenous networks and data sharing in secondary
storage. Pluggable text encoders support any external encoding formats
desired.
Internationalization Support
- -----------------------------
CIDLib supports a very C++ oriented message compiler that is fully Unicode
oriented and allows you to load all text from external (and therefore
translatable) data, in an easy and convenient way. CIDLib is purely Unicode
oriented, only transcoding text to the local code page when to pass it to
system APIs (where required.)
Locale Support
- ---------------
Locale support allows you to localize your applications and CIDLib itself
uses this support to format numeric values, monetary values, times, dates,
etc... CIDLib gives you full access to locale information in a way that is
safe and convenient and consistent with the CIDLib style (and therefore
portable to any platforms that CIDLib is ported to.)
Mathematical
- -------------
4x4 homogenous matrices, 2D and 3D vectors, value maps, ranges, complex
numbers, core mathmematical library interfaces.
Process Control
- ----------------
Threads, mutexes, semaphores, events, critical sections, threadsafe
counters. Janitors for mutexes, semaphores, critical sections, and thread
priorities.
TCP/IP
- -------
TCP/IP sockets support is provided, stream and datagram client and server
side datagram and stream sockets, a socket listener class, and IP addresses
and endpoints.
Fractals
- ---------
An object oriented, extensible fractal generation engine, with full
multiprocessor support. Pluggable fractal framework allows you to easily
create your own fractal types and have them rendered.
Graphics File Formats
- ----------------------
The CIDImage facility is a generalized framework for getting graphics file
formats into memory as bitmaps, and getting them back out after
manipulation, and getting information about them.
Ray Tracing
- ------------
An object oriented, extensible ray tracer with scene description language,
and full multiprocessor support. Framework based architecture allows you to
create your own object and texture types and fully integrate them into the
ray tracer.
Regular Expressions
- --------------------
A regular expression engine is provided for doing the usual regular
expression searches on strings. It supports most of the generally supported
short cuts and conveniences of grep type utilities.
-----------------------------------
Please check out the new release and provide any feedback you might have,
about the code, packaging, architecture, documentation, etc... Your feedback
is much appreciated and will be taken seriously.
You can provide feedback and download the product at:
www.charmedquark.com
Thanks in advance.

The Boston Linux & Unix Group [BLU.ORG], is the successor to the Boston
Computer Society's Linux & Unix User Group. We want to promote the
awareness and use of Open Systems, and to educate the public and our
members about Open Systems.
Linux is a UNIX-like operating system built around POSIX standards.
- From its inception less than eight years ago, it was developed over the
Internet by a group of people who (for the most part) have never seen
each other, and now runs on over (estimated) 4,000,000 computer systems.
The operating system (and the source code for it) is free to anyone
who wants it. It has been ported to at least the following platforms:
Intel, SPARC, Alpha, MIPS, PPC, and M68K. This is probably the largest
development project ever accomplished using the Internet.
