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.
