Why don't you contribute the port to the Apache Avalon project? There is a
port for C# also in process.
I'd like to contibure it, but at this moment my C++ port uses at least QT,
log4cpp and cppunit which are (from the license point of view) ASF
incompatibile. Refactoring all of them out cound be a major effort and I'd
like to first know whether there is an interest for it before touching the
code.
:) The APR (Apache Portable Runtime) would be a better foundation for building
a framework like this without tying it to a graphical library (QT)--which in
itself can be controversial depending on who you talk to.
My question is how big is your Avalon++ project? If it is *just* the
interfaces, then there is no big issue. Of course the C++ equiv. of an
interface is a pure virtual abstract class.
As a side note, I would suggest that any C/C++ port of Avalon ought to also
be based upon APR, which would vastly improve the portability of the code.
That's a good point and I will investigate it further to see how easy it will
be to use APR wherever possible...
