Replacement for the GNU Objective-C runtime supporting the features of modern dialects of Objective-C for use with GNUstep and other Objective-C programs. This runtime is based on the Etoile Objective-C Runtime, an earlier research prototype, and includes support for non-fragile instance variables, type-dependent dispatch, and object planes. It is fully compatible with the FSF's GCC Objective-C ABI and also implements a new ABI that is supported by Clang and is required for some of the newer features.

The gSOAP Web services development toolkit offers an XML to C/C++ language binding to ease the development of SOAP/XML Web services in C and C/C++. Most toolkits for C++ Web services adopt a SOAP-centric view and offer APIs that require the use of class libraries for SOAP-specific data structures. This often forces a user to adapt the application logic to these libraries. In contrast, gSOAP provides a transparent SOAP API through the use of proven compiler technologies. These technologies leverage strong typing to map XML schemas to C/C++ definitions. Strong typing provides a greater assurance on content validation of both WSDL schemas and SOAP/XML messages.

"pstack" is a workalike for the Solaris program of the same name. Running pstack on a process produces a stack trace of each thread in that process. It's useful for finding out what wedged processes are up to, getting profiles of applications, and just satisfying one's curiosity.

LibYAML is a YAML 1.1 parser and emitter written in C. LibYAML covers presenting and parsing processes. Thus LibYAML defines the following two processors: * Parser, which takes an input stream of bytes and produces a sequence of parsing events. * Emitter, which takes a sequence of events and produces a stream of bytes. The processes of parsing and presenting are inverse to each other. Any sequence of events produced by parsing a well-formed YAML document should be acceptable by the Emitter, which should produce an equivalent document. Similarly, any document produced by emitting a sequence of events should be acceptable for the Parser, which should produce an equivalent sequence of events. The job of resolving implicit tags, composing and serializing representation trees, as well as constructing and representing native objects is left to applications and bindings. Although some of these processes may be covered in the latter releases, they are not in the scope of the initial release of LibYAML.

Shibboleth 2.x relies on OpenSAML 2, which in turn requires this lower-level library that provides a higher level interface to XML processing, particularly in light of signing and encryption.

The Embedded Multicore Building Blocks (EMBB) are an easy to use yet powerful and efficient C/C++ library for the development of parallel applications. EMBB has been specifically designed for embedded systems and the typical requirements that accompany them, such as real-time capability and constraints on memory consumption. As a major advantage, low-level operations are hidden in the library which relieves software developers from the burden of thread management and synchronization. This not only improves productivity of parallel software development, but also results in increased reliability and performance of the applications.

PDO driver for Apache Cassandra Cassandra is a highly scalable, eventually consistent, distributed, structured key-value store. Cassandra brings together the distributed systems technologies from Dynamo and the data model from Google's BigTable. Like Dynamo, Cassandra is eventually consistent. Like BigTable, Cassandra provides a ColumnFamily-based data model richer than typical key/value systems.

The main function of wiggle is to apply a patch to a file in a similar manner to the patch(1) program. The distinctive difference of wiggle is that it will attempt to apply a patch even if the "before" part of the patch doesn't match the target file perfectly. This is achieved by breaking the file and patch into words and finding the best alignment of words in the file with words in the patch. Once this alignment has been found, any differences (word- wise) in the patch are applied to the file as best as possible. Also, wiggle will (in some cases) detect changes that have already been applied, and will ignore them. -- Neil Brown

The Gnome2 module allows a perl developer to use the Gnome libraries. Find out more about Gnome+ at http://www.gnome.org/. The perl bindings follow the C API very closely, and the C reference documentation should be considered the canonical source.

libsmacker is a cross-platform C library which can be used for decoding Smacker Video files produced by RAD Game Tools. Smacker Video was the king of video middleware in the 1990s, and its 256-color compressed video format was used in over 2600 software titles.
