A quick google showed: http://ixlib.sourceforge.net/ All of it is ~ 360 kb. If you look at it's features we might be able to strip it down significantly. CU, Christian ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. What is ixlib? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ixlib is a small c++ tools library based upon the standard template library. It provides * a javascript interpreter (subset of ECMAscript 4, strict mode) [ixlib_javascript.hh] * an exception handling framework [ixlib_exbase.hh] * garbage collection [ixlib_garbage.hh] * automatic array management [ixlib_array.hh] * planar geometry (rectangles, regions) [ixlib_geometry.hh] polygons (rasterization, convex hull, smoothing, removal of crossings) [ixlib_polygon.hh] * rasterization [ixlib_drawing_functions.hh] * matrices (including linear system solver, Cholesky and LU decomposition, determinants, inversion, Gauss and Gauss-Jordan elimination) [ixlib_matrix.hh] * command line parsing [ixlib_cmdline.hh] * versatile int <-> string conversions [ixlib_numconv.hh] * regular expressions [ixlib_re.hh] * XML parsing (non-DTD) [ixlib_xml.hh] Some of the guidelines I tried to follow are: * use a separate namespace "ixion" * try to be STL-look-alike * no unnecessary dependencies: you pay only for those parts that you use (pay means: use disk space, take execution time) * no unnecessary dependencies 2: The library doesn't do any i/o by itself, except if given a stream to explicitly do so. Besides flex and the STL, there are no other dependencies. * do not use abbreviations * conform to standards (XML, ECMAscript) * do not duplicate or mimic STL functionality (e.g. no separate string class), that is be strictly an STL-add-on * provide a complete internationalization framework for localized texts and error messages Furthermore, every component of ixlib has been thoroughly tested and is considered production-quality code. -- The idea is to die young as late as possible. -- Ashley Montague _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
