The BNF parser generator takes a syntax not unlike BNF and generates
a "C" parser for it, a parser that can parse either strings or files.
This is a flexible tool, meant for smaller parsing tasks where
bison+flex are just too big to use.
Boa Constructor is a cross platform RAD GUI Building IDE. It offers visual
frame creation and manipulation, an object inspector, many views on the source
like inheritance hierarchies, object methods and properties, html generated
from documentation strings, a debugger and integrated help. It is written in
Python and uses the wxPython toolkit which wraps wxWindows.
This is a simple wrapper around "make" to make its output more readable.
The Boehm-Weiser garbage collection package, for C and C++ -
garbage collection and memory leak detection libraries.
A garbage collector is something which automatically frees malloc'd
memory for you by working out what parts of memory your program
no longer has pointers to. As a result, garbage collectors can also
inform you of memory leaks (if they find memory they can free, it means
you have lost all of your pointers to it, but you didn't free it).
C programs may be linked against either of these, and should run (with
GC or leak detection) without change. C++ programs must include a header
to use garbage collection, though leak detection should work without
such source code modifications. See the man page and header files.
This package only brings Boehm-GC libraries with threading support.
ps: garbage collection is addictive.
Normally version control systems don't allow fine grained commits.
commit-patch allows the user to control exactly what gets committed by
letting the user supply a patch to be committed rather than using the
files in the current working directory.
commit-patch supports Darcs, Git, Mercurial, Bazaar, Subversion,
Monotone or CVS repositories.
Also included is an Emacs interface to commit-patch. It allows you to
just hit C-c C-c in any patch buffer to apply and commit only the
changes indicated by the patch, regardless of the changes in your
working directory.
The compiler-rt project is a simple library that provides an
implementation of the low-level target-specific hooks required by code
generation and other runtime components. For example, when compiling
for a 32-bit target, converting a double to a 64-bit unsigned integer
is compiling into a runtime call to the "__fixunsdfdi" function. The
compiler-rt library provides optimized implementations of this and other
low-level routines.
Boost provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries.
The emphasis is on libraries that work well with the C++ Standard
Library. Boost libraries are intended to be widely useful, and usable
across a broad spectrum of applications. The Boost license encourages
both commercial and non-commercial use.
The goal is to establish "existing practice" and provide reference
implementations so that Boost libraries are suitable for eventual
standardization. Ten Boost libraries are already included in the C++
Standards Committee's Library Technical Report (TR1) and will be in
the new C++0x Standard now being finalized. C++0x will also include
several more Boost libraries in addition to those from TR1. More Boost
libraries are proposed for TR2.
Boost.Jam (BJam) is a build tool based on FTJam, which in turn is
based on Perforce Jam. It contains significant improvements made to
facilitate its use in the Boost Build System, but should be backward
compatible with Perforce Jam.
BCOP is a code generator that provides an easy way to handle
plugin options by generating parts of the plugin code directly from the xml
metadata file. It is used for most of the Compiz Fusion plugins.
Concurrency Kit provides a plethora of concurrency primitives, safe memory
reclamation mechanisms and non-blocking data structures designed to aid in
the design and implementation of high performance concurrent systems.
