The problem is: Given a number of programming libraries with similar or equal scope (e.g. XML parser, regex, markup, ...); are there tools, with which one can run performance tests on these libraries and compare (and generate reports), even though the libraries may be written in different programming languages (such as java, C#, ruby, py...
Are there any existing libraries in existence that will parse a datetime from a plaintext phrase? I'm looking for something similar to Remember The Milk or Outlook, where the user can enter "next tuesday at 6pm" or "tonight at 7" and the library can spit out {4/28/2009 18:00:00} or {4/25/2009 19:00:00}. I'm considering writing my own, bu...
I need a python system information library which a) is written in python (no C extensions, may use ctypes) b) is crossplatform (min. Linux, Windows, MacOSX - everything else is bonus) c) provides at least amount of physically installed RAM, number of CPUs, size of maximum usable shared memory) Is there such a library, or do I have to...
I want to make an Application that uses RxTx version 2.2pre2 to work with Serial Ports. What are the Licence restrictions, since it is an "LGPL v 2.1 + Linking Over Controlled Interface" licenced library if I don't use the Sun's javax.comm.* interface, but the RxTx's own gnu.io.* when importing into Java Files? ...
Anyone have a recommendation for a good image processing package for Haskell? Why do you like it? ...
In this video after approx 35 minutes Krzysztof Cwalina (Micrsoft's .NET Framework Program Manager) talks about distinguishing library, abstraction and primitive types in their design process. Examples of each: Library types are at top layer: Diagnostic.Debug, EventLog Primitive types are at bottom, have minimal interface and suppose...
Hi folks, does anybody know if it's possible (or have experience doing so) to simply bundle the microsoft enterprise library components in a .net solution instead of performing the installation? I'm trying to avoid putting a customer through the installation step. Thanks for your response!! :-) ...
Is it a better idea to dump 'utility' classes that are shared by multiple projects into a single utilities library, or to create many small assemblies each of which has to be loaded by the projects that use them? I don't really like the idea of utility libraries, and you get a total mish-mash of functionality, but on the other hand havi...
Apparently Excel 4.0 is still used and I have to read it in Java. Neither poi nor jExcelAPI, as great as they are, can parse them. I can't find anything on them, especially with Java. Any help? Thank you. ...
I'm looking for not too intrusive to the end user and decently priced .NET Licencing components. Especially something allows serial key and time based expiration. Any recommendations? ...
As a newcomer to iPhone development and Objective-C in general over the last few weeks I have come across numerous mentions of 'Toll free bridges' between CF and NS frameworks. One particular example would be CFStream and NSStream. Does a resource exists documenting all of these bridges and how to use them ? Is it just as simple as cas...
Hello everyone, I have a static library (.lib file) on Windows platform, I want to know the dependent version of CRT library when the lib is built. I have no source code of the .lib file, any ideas? thanks in advance, George ...
Ofcourse similar questions have been asked in stackoverflow but I dont want to use any third party library like Crypto or something. So I need to generate a code based on user email and decrypt the code to generate the email back. Can I do it in python? ...
We are developing a rather large project in C++, where many components require configuration parameters. We would like to use a central place to configure everything (like a registry), preferably with a nice and simple GUI (e.g. like Firefox's about:config) and a simple API. I am pretty sure this that many applications have this kind o...
What is your opinion on Infragistics controls (both Web and Win)? Is this a stable library? What do you feel about the learning curve? ...
I have been using the Open Dynamics Engine (ODE) for the last few weeks with great success. It has a very simple API and its simulations at least look realistic. (I sometimes wonder about my collision joint parameters, but whatever.) My only complaint is that it is sometimes a dog. If I naively simulate 1000s of interacting bodies, then...
Can you recommend a library for .NET that can receive FAXes? Window Fax server is not enough - need to auto process and route the Fax once it is received based on the incoming Caller ID. ...
On the development shop I work for, we have an internal MAVEN repository, to keep our libraries (proprietary & open-souce). A common problem that we face is that, sometimes, the open-source libraries in our local MAVEN repository gets obsolete. Is there an automatic way to keep all the open-source libraries I use in my MAVEN repository a...
If you moved to a new programming language, which libraries do you feel must be supported if you're to keep using the language? I am interested in both specific libraries (eg, bindings for libXYZ should exist) and categories (eg, a regular expression library should exist). As an extension to this, what are the deal breaker features or ...
Hello everyone, Two questions about static library on Windows platform, How to check whether a lib is a static library (or not, e.g. import library for a DLL or some other format which is not a legal static library file even if file name has .lib extension); How to check whether MT or MD flag is used when build a static library? tha...
