Embedding Rake in a C++ app? Or is there a Lake for LUA?
I've found a couple of questions about embedding Ruby in a C++ app. Almost all of the top-voted answers suggest using Lua instead. Given that a project I have in mind would be better served by the grammar already expressed in Rake (it's a rules engine), is there any easy way to embed Rake in a C++ app, or is there a Rake-like module for...

What are C++ non-template members as used in the Barton-Nackman trick?
From wikipedia: // A class template to express an equality comparison interface. template<typename T> class equal_comparable { friend bool operator==(T const &a, T const &b) { return a.equal_to(b); } friend bool operator!=(T const &a, T const &b) { return !a.equal_to(b); } }; class value_type // Class value_type wants to have ...
tidy code for asynchronous IO
Whilst asynchronous IO (non-blocking descriptors with select/poll/epoll/kqueue etc) is not the most documented thing on the web, there are a handful of good examples. However, all these examples, having determined the handles that are returned by the call, just have a 'do_some_io(fd)' stub. They don't really explain how to best approac...
Integrating swf in c++
