libmoost

libmoost is a collection of C++ utility libraries, including:

• algorithms (set intersection, hashing, variable length encoding, ...)
• abstractions for compiler specific features
• configuration
• container data structures (e.g. LRU cache, memory mapped files)
• message digests
• smart pointers (in addition to boost smart pointers)
• I/O helpers (e.g. async writer, file change watcher)
• key-value store client wrappers for kyoto tycoon, bdb, etc.
• logging
• template metaprogramming
• a stomp message queue client
• object-oriented shared object loading
• service framework (helpers for daemonisation, remote shell access, monitoring, etc.)
• progress bars
• postgres pgq abstraction
• signal handling
• string functions
• unit test support
• threading
• transaction handling
• timers
• xml parser
• complex data structure stringification
• benchmarking
• C++ name demangling
• and more!

Installation

libmoost requires a recent C++ compiler (g++, clang++) and boost-1.42 or (ideally) higher. It uses mirbuild as the build system. Once the dependencies are satisfied, you can build and test libmoost with

./build.py test

and install it using:

sudo ./build.py install
