This is a set of thin C++ wrappers for libglade v2 library.

The Hoard memory allocator is a fast, scalable, and memory-efficient memory allocator for shared-memory multiprocessors. Multithreaded programs that perform dynamic memory allocation do not scale because the heap is a bottleneck. When multiple threads simultaneously allocate or deallocate memory from the heap, they will be serialized while waiting for the heap lock. Programs making intensive use of the heap actually slow down as the number of processors increases. (Note: If you make a lot of use of the STL, you may not know it, but you are making a lot of use of the heap.) Hoard is a fast allocator that solves this problem. In addition, it has very reasonable bounds on memory consumption.

The LLVM Project is a collection of modular and reusable compiler and toolchain technologies. This port includes Clang (a C/C++/Objective-C compiler), LLD (a linker), LLDB (a debugger), an OpenMP runtime library, and the LLVM infrastructure these are built on.

Liblouis is an open-source braille translator and back-translator. It features support for computer and literary braille, supports contracted and uncontracted translation for many, many languages and has support for hyphenation. New languages can easily be added through tables that support a rule- or dictionary based approach. Included are also tools for testing and debugging tables. Liblouis also supports math braille (Nemeth and Marburg). The formatting of braille is provided by the companion project liblouisxml.

libnaji is a library of functions which implement the features of najitool, a flexible file generator, converter, and filter. libnaji is being developed in the ANSI C standard so it should work and compile on any system that supports ANSI C, which should be every system.

The libnfc provides a simple yet complete low-level API for handling NFC devices and building NFC applications.

Liboop is a low-level event loop management library for POSIX-based operating systems. It supports the development of modular, multiplexed applications which may respond to events from several sources. It replaces the "select() loop" and allows the registration of event handlers for file and network I/O, timers and signals. Since processes use these mechanisms for almost all external communication, liboop can be used as the basis for almost any application.

Orcus is a library that provides a collection of standalone file processing filters. It is currently focused on providing filters for spreadsheet documents, but filters for other productivity application types (such as wordprocessor and presentation) are in consideration.

Liboil is a library of simple functions that are optimized for various CPUs. These functions are generally loops implementing simple algorithms, such as converting an array of N integers to floating-point numbers or multiplying and summing an array of N numbers. Clearly such functions are candidates for significant optimization using various techniques, especially by using extended instructions provided by modern CPUs (Altivec, MMX, SSE, etc.). Many multimedia applications and libraries already do similar things internally. The goal of this project is to consolidate some of the code used by various multimedia projects, and also make optimizations easier to use by a broad range of applications.
