PWLib is a multi-platform code library that can be used to write
applications that will compile and run on the BSD Unixes, Windows, Linux
and a few other Unix variants. It was developed by Equivalence Ltd Pty.
It is used by the OPAL 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.
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.
The libnfc provides a simple yet complete low-level API for handling NFC
devices and building NFC applications.
VISA is a multivendor standard for interfacing test and measurement
equipment.
LibreVISA aims to be a compliant implementation of the VISA standard in
a free software library. Currently support for targets connected via USB,
exposing the USBTMC interface, and VXI-11 devices.
libimobiledevice is a cross-platform software library that talks the
protocols to support iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad and Apple TV devices.
Unlike other projects, it does not depend on using any existing
proprietary libraries and does not require jailbreaking. It allows
other software to easily access the device's filesystem, retrieve
information about the device and its internals, backup/restore the
device, manage SpringBoard icons, manage installed applications,
retrieve addressbook/calendars/notes and bookmarks and synchronize
music and video to the device.
This port installs the library required to handle Apple Binary and XML
Property Lists.

libunicode is a library for manipulating Unicode characters and
strings. It understands both the UTF-8 and UCS-2 encodings, and has a
framework for adding support for new encodings.
