Subversion also uses APR (http://subversion.tigris.org) which is fast becoming a very popular Revision control system. Also not that APR started as a split of the pooling code that is in Apache 1.3. just separated out as a library so more than just apache could use it, and much more functionality added. > > Can any members of the list give me any comments and encouragement and > cautions on the suitability and use of apr for a server-based enterprise > application that supports a large number of dynamic threads and must run > in both Win32 and unix-like operating systems? The biggest reasons to use APR, is pool method of memory management, the portability built into APR, supporting many unix-like environment and win32, and the threading portability. > Thanks in advance, > mlk
