Using C/C++ static libraries from iPhone ObjectiveC Apps

Is it possible to have a C static library API, which uses C++ internally and hide this from users of the library? I have writen a portable C++ library I wish to statically link to an iPhone application. I have created an Xcode project using the Max OS X 'static library' template, and copied the source across, as well as writing a C wap...

How does libgd stack up against the competition?

I'm curious as to what type of experiences people have had with libgd. I am looking for an alternative to GDI+ (something faster). I have tried ImageMagick, but can't get the performance out of it i need. I have heard that ligd is fast, but less feature rich, and that ImageMagick is slow, but more feature rich. I only need very simple ...

Mercurial API for Java?

Is there a plain API to access Mercurial repositories from Java? There are plugins for Netbeans and Eclipse, but unlike their Subversion counterparts, they do not use a common lower-level library but bring their own wrappers to call out to the Mercurial binary. Calling the binary would be okay (for now), but it seems very difficult to u...

Graphic effects library for Core Graphics?

I've reached a point were I can't keep procrastinating the writing of the graphics part of an iPhone app. What has kept me from digging into it so far has being that it feels hard to figure out how to realize my idea of having "glowing", "sparkling" effects on some lamps. I used to be good at such things back in the days of the Amiga sc...

Need a c++ compiler to work with libraries (boost, ...)

Currently I`m using Visual Studio for writing code in C++. But it seems so weighty that I decided to switch for another one, preferably free, not so strict to system resources (I mean memory, of course) as VS to learn libraries, such as Boost and Qt. What compiler do you suggest? ...

Are there any good and free libraries to develop web applications in C?

I've searched the web a bit, but all I found was abandoned projects and only CGI support. EDIT: C isn't just used for writing drivers or embedded systems. We have mailreaders, newsreaders, editors, etc. all written in C. I've written two BBS in the last century, before the web became popular. The libraries are getting better and you don...

Sparse matrices / arrays in Java

I'm working on a project, written in Java, which requires that I build a very large 2-D sparse array. Very sparse, if that makes a difference. Anyway: the most crucial aspect for this application is efficency in terms of time (assume loads of memory, though not nearly so unlimited as to allow me to use a standard 2-D array -- the key r...

So far, no Delphi version supports SOAP 1.2 clients or server.

Restricting symbols in a Linux static library

I'm looking for ways to restrict the number of C symbols exported to a Linux static library (archive). I'd like to limit these to only those symbols that are part of the official API for the library. I already use 'static' to declare most functions as static, but this restricts them to file scope. I'm looking for a way to restrict to ...

How do you decide when to upgrade a library in your project ?

I work on a project that uses multiple open source Java libraries. When upgrades to those libraries come out, we tend to follow a conservative strategy: if it ain't broke, don't fix it if it doesn't have new features we want, ignore it We follow this strategy because we usually don't have time to put in the new library and thoroughl...

Testing C code using the web

I have a number of C functions which implement mathematical formulae. To-date these have been tested for mathematical "soundness" by passing parameters through command line applications or compiling DLL's for applications like Excel.
